Formal introduction.


It’s been a while since I last posted, but I’m finally ready to introduce myself. 
Who am I ? 

I should tell you what made me the person I am. I was always exposed to the outdoors from the time I was a little girl and I loved the smell and the sound of the ocean, the breeze of the trees and incredible mountains of Africa and what really made me very enthusiastic was the different colors and cultures and being exposed to it at a young age was fascinating. I went through a patch in my life where I didn’t feel comfortable putting on a swim suit and swimming because I was body shamed but later in my childhood I went through a point in my life when I was depressed and I was merely giving up but I found my escape it was the ocean and I got my divers license for the first few years of diving it was an adventure and experience I was naive I had no clue about the changes around me it was for the adventure it was my escape but when I became more of a frequent diver and started to qualify further I started to realize that we are selfish and it is not since last year that the changes made a wide social media appearance and I knew I needed to voice myself but I didn’t know how and I left it, I’d occasionally share a video on social media and post a photo but as I developed I felt I was judged and started removing posts because I wanted acceptance as a teenager. At the beginning of the year I wanted to change my mindset I wanted to voice myself not only because I was tired of being judged but I was trapped and I was longing for my passion ...the ocean. 


Therefore my journey began I started to educate myself, I spoke to international companies and questioned companies in South Africa. With much effort I scored myself a name in society “the ocean warrior” but when I started I longed for acceptance for myself because I totally felt comfortable in my wetsuit and sand in my hair, but as the journey went along I aspired more  CHANGE but how, is a question I ask myself. I’ve had a lot of ideas but with no support system in place I believed I was bond to fail or made a joke of, but today I want to make a change, I want to get people involved and to be very honest I want people to tell me it’s a crazy idea because it extraordinary and it shows how passionate I truly am about saving the earth.
