Day 1 - Journey to Cape Town South Africa
What's making you into the person you're going to be? - Briana Wiest
During the period 19th October to 4th November I will be in Cape Town, South Africa at the SVRI Forum 2024. The opportunity to share and learn among practioners from accross the globe on programes and research on gender issues is an unbelievable opprtunity. I was absolutely over the moon to be be invited to share the lessons learnt on the Nina Young Women's Leadership Program. and in one of the most beautiful cities that I have ever visited. I do feel a tinge of sadness going back as this will be the first time returning to South Africa since my sister friend Kele passed away in 2023. When I would visit South Africa in previous years, she would always take such good care of me, we would have tons of fun - she taught me about seizing the moment and being present to take advantage of all and any opportunities that would present itself,
The literal journey is a long one, I leave Port of Spain Trinidad on Friday night and arrive in Cape Town on Sunday afternoon. Passing through Houston and Washington DC will be a first.
Look out for the highlights of the trip, send me any recommendations and anything you want to know about as I spend the next few days in South Africa and Namibia,
Peace and Blessings
