[00:00:00]Uh, I'm the first born, and yeah, life has been that of a typical first born who comes from a village with dreams, but there was nobody I could reference.

[00:00:14]Like, I wanted to be on television, but I didn't have anyone in my community who's ever been there, so there was that constant anxiety at the back of my head that is it even possible?

[00:00:26]Um, because I struggled to find like a reference point, and I mean, of course, you don't need to find a reference point in your community. There are many other people that can inspire you, but in that moment, you're so limited. You think because of the lack, you think the village and what you see here, this is life until you get out. Mhm. Skala.
