I love to heal and encourage other people who are struggling with ills and problems in their own lives. Sharing my story would mean that my thoughts and my capabilities don’t die in my heart.
what does storytelling mean to you?
It is Therapeutic, it’s love, it’s sharing one’s life. It is empowering when given the right platform. People get inspired by a storytellers’ life.
Unemployment is something that is talked about a lot. I feel that the people who are unemployed and want to get employed, are not in any case given the spotlight. For me it is important because we hear all the successful stories every day on social media and society start to look at people like me who are not working as lazy or as if they don’t want to have financial freedom like their peers. I want all of us to stop looking at unemployed people like they are just statistics.
By getting involved in how we can help and decrease the number of our youth on the streets, we can help them become consumers and contributors of our economy.

I Thought i was alone ☹️ I feel your pain Day🌞 an Night 🌃Being unemployed while you have certificates on your hands is heartbreaking💔 on its own 😢 it lead into a Depression I’m talking from experience 😪….. Thanks for Sharing with us ❤️REFILWE MASHABA❤️
This really heartbreaking, women of now a days are the one who are taking more responsibilities for the growth of their children, without any employment life becomes embarrassing, this is true medam,women are certificated and some obtained their academic regalia, and some of the men who in human resource position they are taking advantage of the women that are seeking for the job.
The story is really touching and people undermine others
I feel you girl. Be blessed and hang in there. It’s our everyday struggle. Love and peace.
Painful part is that at the age of 30 their no longer hire us or is difficult to get the job.. Am so inspired that you raised that kind of issue.. I pray one day we all get employed.. so we could be able to reach our goals❤
