“During my maternity leave, my son and I graduated with a Master of Commerce in Marketing from UKZN. Lukhanyo was growing in my belly while I was busy with my dissertation, and we used to stay up way past midnight. Trying to juggle a full-time job and completing my master’s [was tough].
“Many times, I'd find myself talking to him at 2am when I'd reached a mental block. Some days he'd say, ‘Push mama,’ and on some, he'd say, ‘Mama go to sleep.’ It was physically, emotionally, and mentally challenging, I won't lie. But we were resilient, and we made it. Only uphill from here.”
