This week on 5Talks we chat to Desiree-Anne Martin. She is a Cape Town based author, whose debut memoir "We Don’t Talk About IT. Ever” was recently published. She is an addictions counsellor and a recovering addict. In her book she tells of her incredible story of how she went from addict to author. The book describes with brutal honesty her story of addiction, depression and ultimately recovery. She began using heroin at the age of 24 after a boyfriend gave her the drug as a 'birthday present’. She is currently studying a post-grad diploma in Addiction Care at UCT, and helps others through sharing her story and counselling.

YB5 is an integral part of 5FM’s structure and has been part of the station for more than ten years.
YB5 gives 5FM and its’ audience a heart using the biggest national youth platform in South Africa. The concept has grown and developed over several years and in 2015, YB5 will amplify the traditional charity angle that 5FM has promoted.
YB5 will take the platform and expand it into a three tiered approach that creates three very specific areas of focus. These will be; charitable causes, education and employment.
