WORK HARDER!
Who inspires you and why?
Kobe Bryant. I am very drawn to people who have a relentless passion.
What would you do to make a difference in the world?

Favourite holiday destination and why?
Uganda! I love my familly.
When friends come to town, what attraction would you take them to, and why?
I would take them to Kin of course. A delicious Thai restaurant. Then head to Mt Gravatt lookout for a nice view and good old Maltesers.

BURNA BOY!

Laughing on a Saturday afternoon with my mother and brother. Their voices are a slice of a home that was. An infinite peace.
What does the future hold for you?
It holds the love of my family and friends. Crowds and stages for a small girl to tell big stories.
