From storms to resilience: the story of a young girl who always heard someone close speaking of Cape Town but never thought she would make it there. Privileged to be one of the few to have made it out of a place where no one expects any good thing to come out of the place. I have inspired myself more than everyone else around me by pushing through what everyone else deems impossible. My experiences have built my character and the seed of resilience was watered through character reconstruction.
