Ndeshi speaks to Briefly News

Speaking to Briefly News, Ndeshi said that the video was inspired by the women she has worked with as a makeup artist, who feel societal pressures and want to accomplish certain goals before a certain age.

The 29-year-old said she didn't really have it hard but she definitely didn't have a silver spoon in her mouth. Ndeshi is a Records and Archives graduate who has worked towards her passion for doing makeup. She has been in the business for about eight years now.

Ndeshi advised women who feel the pressure to accomplish things at a certain age not to be hard on themselves.

"Achievements in life don't have an expire date. And we all achieve our goals at the right time. And just like cars we're all in our own race, at our own pace. We tend to be pressured by social media, and societal deadlines however society is not always right.

53-year-old woman shows you can achieve goals at a later stage

In another story, Briefly News reported about a woman who showed the world that people can achieve a lot at a later stage of life.

YouTuber Fumi Desalu penned an emotional post on LinkedIn, which has since gone viral and shared on all social media platforms.

The post encourages girls not to conform to the standards and timelines society has set out for others.

This includes getting married and having a baby before 30. For Desalu, everything she did was done after 40, and she kept achieving her dreams even after 50.
