My mother passed away during the most crucial time of my education, my final year of university and the year I was serving as President of a student association. It was tough but I pushed through, not only that but I had hope enough to be able to further my education in the USA. I then moved to the USA from South Africa few days after I turned 21 to do my MASTERS. I was the only African and the youngest yet I pushed through and still made it out on the top by securing multiple internships and leadership positions. In addition I am able to set on the executive team of an organization for children living with disabilities. I believe in impact despite one’s situation. I want to leave a legacy of creating a path for more YOUNG confident leaders in society that are fearless.

My faith inspires me because God has consistently reminded me that I WILL be okay. Through the tough times my faith has allowed me to stay hopeful and strong.

How losing my mom during the pandemic changed the course of my life and that God restores and redirects, even in the midst of a storm.

My sister inspires me because she has been a constant anchor. Her wisdom and kindness is so admirable, she has made tapping into those parts of myself easier. Her perspective is also very rooted in wider perspectives which is often soothing. Most importantly, God. The confidence in God’s promises about me having authority and power keeps me going when things don’t look the best.

Throughout my life journey I have chosen to be a person of value rather than a person of success. The legacy that I hope to leave is one that reminds others about the importance of connecting, collaborating, and cultivating relationships.

I am inspired by those that serve as a voice for the voiceless. I believe that the skill of advocacy is one of the best skills you can have and it more often than not, will yield some type of result.

My legacy is my determination and light that i bring , one story that pop’s in my head when it comes to shaping who i’ve become is when my college professor told me i was not limited. It was a conversation about the majors and minor i had in college, and he assured me i could do what i wanted to do and what i was willing to commit to. It reminded me of my high school math teachers words of encouragement. I felt seen! Lit a spark in me.

The youth inspires me. The pureness they have and immense potential they posses to change the world. When i was younger my inspiration and motivation were the statistics i did not want to be apart of.
