"Christine Vaindirlis Exclusive right here on the Jamati podium as she walks us through her globetrotting journey, from London to growing up in one of the hardest South African eras (apartheid), to dreaming her way out of South Africa into the beginning of her life inspiring journey. If there is one thing I’ve learnt from this interview, is that “Giving up in life is never an option, everything is possible, we just gotta believe, speaking life to the world were everything is possible. Christine is a major inspiration and I hope that every soul that reads this, takes with them a profound message that will inspire them with they walk in life."
