I SHUT MY EYES TIGT..FINALLY I COULD SEE

I left Zimbabwe in 2004 to pursue  a Bachelor of arts Degree in South Africa. little did i know that i was going to receive more that my fair share of education.   My country was going through its usually political Drama, money was tight and to say i had to work my way through uni is an understatement. After 4 years i graduated. My Leadership journey really began in 2007 when  i was chosen to be the ISO President   ( international students organizations) .

i made so many friend from around Africa. I suddenly realized that what i thought were major problems in my Home country was nothing compared to the horrors and hardships that my fellow mates where dealing with .  BEING in a foreign country teaches you to be humble.  it opens you to knew cultural experiences some of which you can never realy prepare for..   

in my years in South Africa  i went through it all.    i was mocked, interrogated, beat up , ridiculed.   i was appreciated, respected,  awarded, motivated , supported.   I fell in love , then fell out of love.  I made friends and that by far is what kept me going.     i connected with women from fellow African countries who reminded me that  i am strong, wise and resourceful.

i learnt that to be a Leader you sometimes need to follow.
