In light of August being Women's Month, we had the opportunity to chat with one of our Doctoral candidates, Tshego Gama. She shared some amazing highlights about her perspective as a woman.
Tell us about your Woman of Wonder Story.
In 1995 a little girl was born in a dusty township called Poortjie (South of Joburg). Poortjie is one of those small mining townships that no one knows about. This little girl was brilliant and had big dreams for a girl coming from Poortjie. She worked hard to reach every goal she desired. In 2024 while on maternity leave this young woman registered for her DBL. Many thought she was crazy, firstly she was a new mom, where would she get the time and money, she is a wife, and works hard to ensure a successful marriage. Everyone wondered but she proved herself to those who doubted her dreams. This woman is Tshegofatso Masego Gama and she is a DBL Candidate at the DaVinci Institute. I believe studying is the biggest investment I have made in myself and will surely secure the future, both for myself and for my family. From the ashes she rose.
