BRAVE Manenberg girls shared their inspiring stories of overcoming gangsterism, substance abuse, and personal struggles, showcasing their resilience and desire to live purposefully.
They spoke to professional, business, and successful women at a Women's Day programme at a hotel, at the V&A Waterfront on Saturday, August 9.
Tamia Hendricks, 18, who at the age of ten joined the nonprofit group BRAVE, based in Manenberg, said: "I wasn't the girl who had everything together. I was very naughty."
She spoke about the hardships of being a teenager, when people expected her to think like an adult but treated her like a child.
