I've had issues with my own people (black) look at me like I'm weird when they speak to my kids in English and I kindly ask them to speak Zulu or Sot… - Ayanda Borotho

I'm on a journey to heal my ‘father wound’. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever heal. But I am committed to the journey. No day is the same. Some better than others but in my healing, I have surrendered to vulnerability. It is where I have found strength. And I know in my healing, I will find my power again

For me, what failure was growing up was not being able to make a mistake and disappointing my parents. We are taught that it's not OK to make mistakes

Failure is a stepping stone, it's about how you see it. See it half-full. When you feel like you are buried, it doesn't necessarily mean you are buried, maybe you are planted, and that is something I had to teach myself. I see things in harvest rather than lack in seasons where I feel like I'm failing
