As South Africans many of us grew up dreaming about the day that we walk in the streets and have our faces shining on billboards. Well, this has become a dream come true for one of our own, Lorna Maseko. What’s more, is that she went international.
Renowned chef and media personality Lorna Maseko is brimming with pride as she recently had the privilege of witnessing her face appear on the billboards at Times Square in New York.
Walking the streets in the city known as the Big Apple, she took to Instagram to document her reaction to this wonderful achievement.
In her post, she wrote:
“So, this epic thing happened – I’m on a billboard in #TimesSquare – I really have no words or caption to capture this moment, literally my wildest dreams!! I hope my daughter is proud when she sees this and understands one day. So grateful! ??❤️”
