I’m still in awe almost six months later - not because it was groundbreaking or revolutionary, but because <strong>we did just that</strong>.</p> <p>It was a night of connecting, reconnecting, laughter, movement, and everything in between. Kumba came together because of the efforts and will of many people, besides myself. Ideation requires action to become a reality and despite having every opportunity and excuse to quit, I stayed the course. After years of undervaluing my headstrong, creative, and resilient nature – I started and finished a project.</p>
