Lady Anita's Birthday

The last four decades of my life has been a piece of art which has evolved into a MASTERPIECE. When I began my leadership journey at the early age of seven; little did I realise that life was going to make me a person who would become hope and light for others.

As I reflect on the journey that I have made so far, I am reminded of the importance of making everyday count - no matter how little. From a humble beginning as the last child of the seven surviving children of our parents, life has accorded me the greatest opportunity to become a voice in the marketplace. Although my opportunities came wrapped in rough and tough packages, I never for one day doubted our creator’s plan for my life.

In the years of my knowing who I am, I have experienced both the lowest and the highest of test which would have forced me to give up had I not known that I am on purpose. My knowing has enabled me to embrace the totality of who I am and the hunger to become more valuable in my field of play is very present.

These are some of my reasons of daily striving to become a better servant leader and to continue to sell hope to those who are in doubt of their ability to do, have and become more due to the disruption they may have experienced on their life journey.

Being Lady Anita comes with its responsibilities, and so far I have managed to handle some of those expectations very well to the best of my ability. More so; the last three years was the rebirth of an enhanced servant leader.

As I journey through life, I seek to find more opportunities to deposit hope in the minds of others. I also seek to become a reflection of what is ‘possible’.

I am grateful to Almighty God for blessing me with another year. I am grateful for being part of the voices of positive change in the world.
