Here’s SKY Girl LorraineNchwengwa talking about her localheroes, 3 friends who inspire her everyday… no capes required :)On the top of my list I will start with Anita Tlotlo Baliki commonlyknown as 1_y oung_mama. The owner of AB BEAUTY. Thiswoman is a true inspiration, we first met at a class we tooktogether and became group mates. Unfortunately I had no ideawho she is but as we worked together, she never seized to amazeme with her drive to get her goals accomplished. I always usedthe excuse of I am a student and it is all I have time for. Shesat me down once and asked about my dreams and how she couldhelp and that is how Lorraine came into being. She told me Idon’t have to be one thing at a time if I can be everything I wantall at once. So today I recognise her inspiration and nagging meto reach for greater heights. She has proven to me that I canme be everything all at once, as she is a student, wife, mother,business owner, artist, daughter and friend but most importantlya humble inspiration and dream chaser.10
Secondly, I am inspired by my best friend Thabisang Modimoothata.A Limkokwing International Business graduate of 21 years old.She is a power to reckon with, her motto in life is to keep gettingbetter and never settle for what doesn’t make your heart flatter.She knows what she wants and she cannot be in any room whereshe feels unappreciated. She touches hearts with her communityservice work and how she never misses out on an opportunity forher views and opinions to be heard. She inspired me to go aftermy dreams and do only what makes me happy regardless of thepressure and downs that come with life. To be honest she is thereason I sometimes push myself harder because my best friend isdoing great and I cant let myself drag her down.11Lastly, I have to mention the biggest academicinspiration I have ever known. It has to be PatriciaMoiteelasilo. She is a 24-year-old Bachelorof Finance graduate from the University ofBotswana and just started work at Absa. I alwaysfelt disadvantaged by growing up in the ghettoand going to underrated schools until we met atform 1, yes I know its been ages! We are fromthe same background and she taught me howto be happy with my own achievements and tonever ever compare myself to anyone or feel Iam disadvantaged by anything because only I gotthe power. Her passion for excelling academicallyalways inspired me to do better, to date she stillsdoes because eventually people fall out of love forschool, but with her it is never the case. She is thereason I want to pursue masters and doctorates,you know how the hierarchy goes like.

THE THREE
WHO
Inspire
ME
Like the cover says, not all heroes
wear capes! Here’s SKY Girl Lorraine
Nchwengwa talking about her local
heroes, 3 friends who inspire her every
day… no capes required :)
On the top of my list I will start with Anita Tlotlo Baliki commonly
known as 1_y oung_mama. The owner of AB BEAUTY. This
woman is a true inspiration, we first met at a class we took
together and became group mates. Unfortunately I had no idea
who she is but as we worked together, she never seized to amaze
me with her drive to get her goals accomplished. I always used
the excuse of I am a student and it is all I have time for. She
sat me down once and asked about my dreams and how she could
help and that is how Lorraine came into being. She told me I
don’t have to be one thing at a time if I can be everything I want
all at once. So today I recognise her inspiration and nagging me
to reach for greater heights. She has proven to me that I can
me be everything all at once, as she is a student, wife, mother,
business owner, artist, daughter and friend but most importantly
a humble inspiration and dream chaser.
