Founder of Peace for Tasia | Author of the upcoming memoir, “NOT ORDINARY: Heir to a Hidden Crown”

The Author

Granddaughter of the woman history tried to forget, Catherine is a relentless seeker of truth, a devoted storyteller, and a global advocate for peace. With a voice both courageous and compassionate, she traces her ancestral roots to a hidden bloodline — one bound not only by legacy, but by love, exile, and quiet resilience.

For most of her life, she knew her Grandmama simply as Tasia or “Lola Puti” (White Grandmother)— a dignified woman of mystery and strength. But beneath that quiet exterior lay a story erased by time, concealed in whispers and heirlooms, and sheltered in silence for generations. As Catherine grew older, the gaps in the narrative began to speak louder than the words ever could.

With grace and determination, Catherine has spent decades honoring the purity of her grandmother’s truth — preserving what the world tried to bury and protecting the sacred dignity of a woman displaced but never defeated. Her life’s work is devoted to truth-telling without violence, remembrance without vengeance, and legacy without shame.

Not Ordinary: Heir to a Hidden Crown is more than a memoir — it is a reclamation of voice and bloodline. A reckoning with memory. A devotion to truth that refuses to be silenced.

Through the founding of Peace for Tasia, Catherine carries this truth forward — not for herself alone, but as a tool for global healing. What began as a personal search has become a movement rooted in peace, forgiveness, and solidarity. One that invites the world to reexamine what it believes about history, power, and identity — and dares to rewrite it.

Because the truth — even when hidden — is never lost. And when told with love, it becomes a light the world cannot ignore.
