We up with another interesting interview with none other than our Country Director, Julia Duminy!
As mentioned in our previous article where we profiled MOT Coach and Coordinator, Christine Thomas, we will be profiling and interviewing our MOT women during Women’s Month and hearing their thoughts on what it takes to be a strong woman these days. Read her interview here
Let’s get right into it then!
Resilient. Kind. Loving
I use the people around me (mentors, family, friends, colleagues) to lift me, empower me and motivate me to overcome my fears. They are all my guiding lights and where I draw my daily strength from.
Love spending time with my family or reading a good book.
A lot going on and tough to remain focused and positive. I wake up with an attitude of gratitude for each new day and new opportunity to move towards my goals.
It is tough to create balance when it comes to family, career, and relationships. I always find that one will take preference and the others receive less attention. I give the attention where it’s needed the most at the time, but I do believe finding balance and peace is necessary and honestly, I am still figuring that out as I go along 😊
Trish van der Merwe; she is an ex MOT SA Board Member. She is strong in her faith, unapologetic about who she is and what she wants out of life. She is kind, loving, honest and sincere and I truly admire her and appreciate her advice and guidance. She always finds the good in others and focuses on strengths and this is what I admire the most and how she inspires me every day to be a better person.
Activate the youth’s power to really make a change in our schools, colleges and in their communities.
No woman is an island. I too find it hard to lean on others and reach out when I need help. I would like to encourage all women to lean on one another and leverage off the relationships you already have to give you the boost you need to overcome your daily fears and challenges. We were blessed with family, friends and so many other wonderful people in our lives. They love us and care for us, let us help one another walk this journey, in good and bad times.
