4. Do you have any skills or talents that most people don’t know about?

I do. During my young life I engaged in painting, and sadly, do not own any of my work. It is something I dearly want to engage again. One does not have to be confined to singularity, and being multi-talented or multi-exploratory does not assume one should be unfocused?

5. Who is someone you admire, and why?

I admire many! From Oprah Winfrey to Madame Bouillon, to many, many more. Martin Luther King Jnr has a special place in my life, and we also share our birthday. Truly, I love reading and contemplating the wisdom of others. Philosophers, scientists, physicists, spiritual seekers… the world is a magical place if you allow your soul to be inspired!

6. What’s a typical day like for you?

Because of multiple roles and responsibilities, my days are quite long. I get up early morning, meditate or read a bit, and go back to sleep. Then I get up at 06:00 am and start work preparations around 07:30. With meetings, planning and emails etc, my day sometimes concludes at 23:00, but I make time for breaks where possible.
