I loved talking to Nono, as she schooled me on farming and all the things she has learnt on her journey. What she has taught me, is you need to have a BIG AUDACIOUS vision for your work and what your purpose is. So many of us just go through life, doing what is expected of us, yet very few of us consider what our impact will be.
