Yesterday was the highlight of my career. At 26, I was notified that I have been awarded the Harvard South African Fellowship commencing in September '22. I'll spend the time working on my monograph. This Honour is usually reserved for mid-level career professionals aged 30-45.

Black women in leadership positions are scrutinised so harshly. A man could’ve have said this but not get the same kind of backlash. Women are continually positioned as carers and if they deviate from that, we vilify them harshly.
