The Birth of a Pan-African Rockstar

I seldom meet someone so young with such a strong conviction about who they are, and what their place is in the world. I say this as if I’m a wise old sage – I’m not. I’m only about two or three years older than Lady Donli who is in her early 20s.

However, we live in a world in which we spend vast portions of our lives trying to find our feet, carve out some kind of a meaningful path, and make some sort of sense of our so-called “purpose”. So talking to Lady Donli, who oozes self-conviction, has a clear raison d’être, and a healthy grip on where she’s trying to go – suffice to say I’m beyond refreshed, if not slightly envious.

And now to add to the above, Lady Donli also speaks with this totally endearing nonchalance, one of caring enough to the point of not being rude, but not so much that she seems totally self-obsessed.
