I love how you articulated this Jaysen, it also validates the experiences of a lot of people who may not be able to articulate it or fear brining it into existence with words and admitting where they are.

I am lucky to be in a place where I am finally coming into it and relatively happy/learning the ropes, but similarly have come across way too many peers or friends who are afraid to voice this.

Thank you for creating such an amazing platform, being vulnerable and sharing your vision.

This was excellent, Jaysen.

You've put some very complex thoughts and feelings into simple words. I'm glad you've published this as it will inevitably help a lot of people reshape their own "distorted view of what it meant to be a success and a failure" and navigate some very difficult career decisions.

I've "flagged" this email to re-read again soon.

Thank you for sharing this Mbula, I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you have faced in your journey so far. I read every comment, so please always feel free to reach out.

We’ll be launching our 2022 scholarship programme in the next few months. We are just taking more time this year to work out how we can launch a programme that has more of an impact. Please do apply!
