Jacinta Luz (alias Luz Compasso)
Jacinta Luz (alias: Luz Compasso) was born in Mozambique, as the
youngest among three sisters the eldest being thirteen years her senior. She
attended a primary school in the town of
Sidvokodvo, Manzini, in Swaziland, Southern Africa. Thereafter,
up until the 6th grade, she attended as a fulltime boarder, a
catholic school, run by nuns, namely the António Barroso School, situated in
Namaacha, Mozambique.
She
then moved on to attend the Liceu
António Enes public secondary school, in the city of (Lourenço Marques) Maputo.
During this time, she qualified as a hairstylist, and did a runway modelling
course. Her mother worked in the fashion industry, which helped promote her
modelling career, whilst adorning her mother’s creations.
In

fashion designing, commencing her own workshop, developing a fashion line
called “Rubilú Confections”. This workshop was situated in the mall known as,
Centro Commercial das Amoreiras, in Lisbon central, also, spreading her business
through the ownership of several boutiques, which promoted her collections,
simultaneously training young ladies as models for her clothing line, on the
runways of fashion shows. The “Rubilú” fashion line was distributed throughout
Portugal, in the following locations, Sabugal, Souto, Paul, Óbidos, Lisbon and
Faro
In
1992, after what she felt to be a message from God, she abandoned her
commercial activity and commenced her work as a writer. Moving in 1994 to Spain,
she took up residence with an elderly female author. After yet another dream,
she returned to the town of Albergaria-a Velha in Portugal, where she continued
to write: By this time she had produced seven books, although it was only in
2004 that she had these published
In
2003, she-co-founded a publishing house, Editora Luz da Vida, Lda, in the town
of Coimbra. To this day, she maintains
the partnership in the publishing house, as well as partnership in the company

the period of 2004 to 2012, she moved on as an international speaker in Brazil,
UAE and Germany. In April 2014, she founded the Divine Cities Foundation in
Dover, Delaware, with the aim to inspire “Paradise Builders”, applying the
slogan: “Together, let us take our
Being, our Home and our City and make them Divine”.

2015, starting up the small “Hotel de
Charme” as best described in French, namely the “Despertar com Siso”
meaning (Wake up with Wisdom), a place where cultural events take place, with
holistic experiences.
It
is her intention to organize oracular reatize writing courses in the near
future. This will be done together with
both national and international writers.
A web site is presently being designed to operate with
a random system which will work with several oracular sentences for
self-help. These sentences will be
available in five languages, with the possibility of downloading on android
cellular phones. This system will also
be available off line.
Luz Compasso expects to soon start the Divine Cities
Foundation activities both in Portugal and the USA.
This book is going to be published in the USA, during 2017, by the Dorrance Publishing Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
