My mom Thuli is honestly the strongest women I know.
She raised 4 of us on her own while working night shifts as a nurse. Even when she was exhausted, she would still show up for everything — school concerts, parent meetings, even making sure we always had lunch for school.
She always told me “kindness will take you further than anger,” and I try live by that every day.
Now that I’m older, I realise how much she gave up for us without ever complaining. She’s the reason I keep going when life gets hard.
She really is the sparkle in my life.
