“The last year of my life has bought immense change and also made me incredibly fearless… with that said, I’m hanging up my headphones for now until it makes sense for me to glide on the airwaves again… In order to grow, you have to let go.”

Her last show on The WKNDR with Andile Ncube, Bujy, Chante Janjie and Mog was last Saturday.
