Show profile Hide profileMy very first job was as a waitress at a 'watering- hole' called 'Kospotong' in Newtown - long hours on my feet and very low wages. I know hard-work, and humility and friendliness.
When I was 19, and in my First year of varsity, I worked as a television presenter for SABC2. I know
time-management, and prioritising. In my second year at varsity, while I still worked for the youth show on SABC2, I also worked as a part of a young team of Marketers for CANOC Productions. I was earning two salaries.I know responsibility and independence from a young age.
I carried on with my studies, and in my third year of varsity - which was meant to be my last year of varsity - I was paying for my own fees, paying rent, and being engulfed by the pressures at work, home and school. I know large amounts of stress, I know failure, and I am familiar with making difficult decisions.
When I was 23 years old, and no longer able to afford my to tuition, and unemployed I knew what depression was, but in the following year I learnt was resilience is. I went back to school and completed the modules I could afford. I know persistence and determination.
I got another presenting gig, I was so excited to be back on television but I was reluctant to go back into kids' television, as I wanted to grow and I felt that going back into that space was a step backwards but I am glad I agreed to do the show. I learnt so much about my profession, it was a new show and a different format so that meant so many more new experiences. I know endurance, patience, and dedication.
In my last year of varsity I fell pregnant with my daughter- who I am besotted with!! - and 'come what may', I told myself, I was super determined to finish my studies. And finally I attended my graduation ceremony in April of 2015, it took me what truly felt like forever but I got my degree. I know hope, I know sweat and tears, happiness and love, and I know relief.
What I know for sure is that I make the most of what I have at any given time. I invest the best of myself when there is work to be done. I am passionate and certainly not afraid of a challenge. I know that sooner or later my efforts will see me become the person I hope to be, whether I get in from the front, the side, or the back door.
"Entertain", "Create", "Be Different", and "Stand completely out" is what I was born to do. "Game-changer", "Thought-leader", and "Speaker of Life into things", is what I was born to be. "On a journey", "Realising my true potential", and "Closer to my dreams" is what I am.
