The joy of being me

Before I read The Secret I was in a state of giving up my career as an actress, reason being that my skin colour always is a problem in South Africa, and the fact that I am a woman. I am a very positive person, well driven, hard worker. But The Secret has made me love me, and find the joy within me to be human and to be a proud black woman.
I am a person who does not say a lot or fight, yet I keep everything bottled up and explode when it comes out. Thanks to The Secret I have slowly started to learn to speak up. I have even bought myself a gratitude journal in which I say all my thanks. I was a person who looked for happiness from a man… I now know what I want, and I have it – and that is me.
Thank you to all of you. What a joy it is to simply be me in my own skin and colour. I am a well-known actress – I believe that I am.
