"It was difficult for us. I didn’t know where I belong because I was not black nor was I white. I felt isolated because my English wasn’t very good. I had to learn to adapt and make friends and try to fit into a world they had created for me”

She also shared her motivation with listeners of Brett Hermon's midday show on Radio AM1485 (DStv channel 869) on Wednesday 19th June 2019.

"They approach me when they need help but I truly believe that it's all humanity. It doesn't matter they are young girls or they are elderly, but the people that need help, they cannot help themselves. And I would like just to be there for them and to make a difference to those in our community and whenever we can. I think which is important to us."
