Listen Later

In today’s episode I am in Conversation with Mathari Manyisa who is an advocate. I really enjoyed her colorful story especially the part where she shared insights about how she repeated matric because she was running after a boy - the innocence of young love tickled me. It just highlights the fact that in life we can almost come back from any setback, all the wiser. Our individual journeys are filled with so much colour and life doesn’t always follow a lined path but what is meant for you will always locate you. I hope you will enjoy learning from this phenomenal woman as much as I enjoyed this conversation.
