Dear bullies...how does it feel watching this lady's story? The fact that you broke her soul and led to her having such low self esteem!!!

Wow #ittakesavillage is one of the shows that we as the youth need to keep seeing in our daily lives, #Andile reminds me of a younger version of myself, but I've learnt to turn things around and become the best version of myself. Keep up the good work @DJZinhle😘😘😘
