"IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING A VOICE"
Due to my own experiences growing up, I realised that I was always held back from having a voice. Until I was able to express myself via my writing and radio through the platform of my passion in sport, I was able to find my voice. In life, it's all about having a voice and being able to use it productively and inspiring others to do the same.
