She recently added a new project to her busy schedule by visiting local schools Springs to give a talk “wearing a fake mask'”.
Sharing her experiences with the learners at Eureka High School, she also motivated them be themselves and not to be afraid to take off their masks.
Bianca (35) believes wearing a mask is not linked to any age as every person is wearing a different mask.

According to Bianca the principals of the schools were excited when she approached them about her motivational talk.
She has also visited Montessori Primary School and Protea Skool, primary and high school, as well as Hoërskool John Vorster in Nigel.
“Hiding behind your mask just because you don’t want other to know or see what is going on in your life is not the answer,” says Bianca.
She believes every person is unique and should dream follow their dreams.
“This can only come true if you work hard and strive for a better future,” she says.

Her motto is, if you don’t have anything good to say to someone, rather don’t say anything at all.

“All the younger generation needs is motivation to pursue their dreams,” says Bianca.
