1.My life’s purpose is to change lives. I am a motivational speaker. My career choices are informed by my drive to motivate people, so they can improve their lives. I am also a property management, and clothing manufacturing entrepreneur. I enjoy the opportunity to change lives through motivation.
2. I was born different, and that made my childhood challenging. From a young age, I had to grow a thick skin and make a decision that I will no longer be a victim, but a victor. Many people do not understand that albinism is mostly because of a lack of pigmentation. I use my platform to show people that albinism is nothing to be afraid of. Despite all the challenges, my childhood was filled with love and support from my family.
3. The reality television series Future Leaders speaks to my calling. It’s an exciting opportunity that has been emotionally challenging and rewarding at the same time. The show deals with real life issues that are heartbreaking, but I am glad that I play a role in making a positive impact.
4. I want to leave a legacy of positive change through motivation. I have realised that there are various media platforms that I can use to motivate young people to bring about positive change. I want my entrepreneurial drive and motivation to be a legacy that will create awareness about the importance of community development, and keeping young people motivated.
