This is the episode I've been waiting to share, the story behind the story. Before Stay Positive, before Houston, before any of it, there was a girl in Maputo, Mozambique, with a dream bigger than her circumstances and a gap year that felt like it would never end.

In Part 1 of my U.S. journey, I'm taking you all the way back to the beginning, the exchange program that confirmed my dream, the application season that gave me hope, and the moment I realized that getting accepted wasn't the finish line I thought it was.

I talk about what it felt like to watch everyone around me leave while I stayed behind. The isolation. The embarrassment. The questions I kept asking God. And the five lessons that carried me through one of the hardest seasons of my life.

Because here's what I know now: that gap year wasn't a setback. It was preparation.

If you're in a season of waiting right now, this one is for you. Your first "no" is not your final answer. 🤍

In the meantime, Stay Positive. 👌
