CONFRONTATIONAL DREAMER:
Why Now? Why You? Why BOLD?
The BOLD Mover Lady is actually camera
shy and prefers to
‘aggravate others
into their
destinies’. “The
photo shoot is
going to have to be
quick because I
don’t like taking
pictures.
Yeah..yeah..yeah…
‘branding…branding’, she chuckles. “OK,
I’ll behave”. Following are her words:
“I get to talk with a lot of people about their
dreams, and their regrets. I understand.
One of the wonderful things about getting
older (and that list is growing) is becoming
less fearful of what other people say and
think about what you do. I believe everyone

extraordinary challenges to mine the gold
out of people who are courageous enough to
