"Embrace every opportunity that comes your way"
"Ask for help – you don’t know until you ask"
"Feel the fear and do it anyway"
"We are attached to the culture of where we grew up and for me is the umuntu culture,the human being part of that culture"
"Find a mentor or coach – sometimes just to help you clarify your own thoughts by talking an idea thorough"
"I have met people from my culture who are probably too shy to say they are Zimbabweans,or embrace and be proud of this vibrant culture.I am unashamedly proud of it"
"It is my role to tell stories,I am not an actress,and that will be a nice challenge very exciting"
"The best kind of questions comes from the children,they ask incredibly honest questions.Maybe we could learn from them,it would make the world a better place if we had the confidence to ask questions that kids ask.There is something about them that fulfils what you do as an artist as a way to inspire the next generation"
"There is something incredibly powerful about the soil of Africa and for me it is to inspire a child to see a different Africa and also take them on a journey.The music at the end is a little bonus,but the biggest part of me is describing Africa and also the questions"
