Here is my memoir (published in 2005) and my collaborations with other artists and activists.

“Deborah Santana has blessed us with a precious jewel of a book…She is the whole note, played half or quartered, in the romantic themed soundtrack of her life’s movie…This book has touched my soul…”
LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Actress
“I couldn’t put this book down. Beautifully written, full of fine detail, it breaks illusions about gurus, rock stars, and stereotypes about race. This is a dynamic memoir of an extraordinary woman’s life.”
Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones and The Great Failure

This documentary chronicles a memorable seven-day trip by members of Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA) through Cape Town, Johannesburg, and KwaZulu-Natal. It is a trek of stark contrasts: magnificent natural beauty, devastating living conditions, and the privilege and price of celebrity. The film features encounters with former President Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and other heroes in the fight against apartheid, AIDS and poverty.
