She told the Herald that she started competing in pageants because she wanted to find a way of giving back to her community and be on stage. She defines herself as a hardworking and goal-driven individual who is not afraid to face problems head-on. She recently visited the Good Shepard Drop-in Centre in Humulani village where she gave a motivational talk to fifteen girls. She also handed out gift packs and shared a meal with them.

The visit was in partnership with Charles Ngomane of Karl Explore, a video and photography company, and Suzzy’s Kitchen. Ngomane was celebrating his birthday and also wanted to give back to the community. Suzzy’s Kitchen provided free catering.
