August is Women’s Month and on 9 August we celebrate the lives and struggles of women who helped change this country to what it is today.
On this day, every year we pay homage to the brave women who fought against the Apartheid government. This is also a day where ordinary women take centre stage and all their extraordinary accomplishments are celebrated.
For me, this month is an opportunity for us to thank the incredible women in our lives for all the sacrifices they have made and for being phenomenal role models.
I am lucky to have three women in my life that each have different strengths who are an inspiration to me. My mom and my sister have always been there for me and both of them are strong, independent and brave in their own ways. These two phenomenal ladies have been my rock in very difficult situations and I love and respect them more than I think they know.
The third person is my Aunty Janet, she reminds me of Oprah Winfrey because she is always the first person to give you advice. She is so strong and independent – she is a pillar of strength for everyone in our family.
I am so grateful to have these wonderful women in my life to lean on. Viva woman power!
