Quotes It is our collective duty to change the narrative by promoting sorority and celebrating the value of women My advice is never give up on the dream – this world depends on it. Always remember that it’s teamwork that makes the dream work. Collaboration is the new innovation I envision the enhancement of the South African entertainment industry, and the empowerment of teen mothers in Africa through the power of education I intend to use my qualifications to strategically design digital creative and educational platforms that aim to uplift young women, artists and the youth of Africa Our hearts broke at the reality and realisation of too many children giving birth to children in Africa and we decided to do something about it.Teen pregnancy is a scourge in our continent and country, and we desperately need to establish means of rectification and redesign of what is socially acceptable among the youth of Africa.
