What is your biggest success?
This venture became a beacon of hope for me during some of my darkest days. This venture did not only bring healing to me but also brought light to high school learners who were vastly affected by the negative impact of loadshedding. I am passionate about corporate social investment and education. I launched the light it up campaign in 2022 to aid underprivileged learners with alternative light and stationery. The campaign was funded by Enel a renewable energy company with operations globally including Prieska Northern Cape. The initiative has approximately 700 beneficiaries from the Northern Cape and Western Cape over the two year span. Beneficiaries received stationery packs, alternative lighting and stationery. I survived a kidnapping in 2022 and the trauma from that experience led me to this path of development. The research process for the Explore Vibe journal and the app became my coping mechanism during the time of healing. I felt like giving up too but this entire journey of healing has taught me my strength and resilience.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Prior to the kidnapping I started with renovations at my house with the intention to convert my garage into an apartment to assist me with start up capital but didn't work well due to the ordeal. Securing funding has been challenging. I wish I was in a position to prioritise my venture on a full-time basis too.
