On the topic of this platform, Sister In Law is very close to my heart: my parents divorced when I was in primary school, as a result of this my mother found herself having to fend for herself and two minor children. This instability sparked my interest in pursuing law because I was interested in learning why things turned out the way they did for my mother. Sister In Law is passion project birthed from my mother’s lived experience which I have used as a tool to empower women on various topics pertaining to (family) law.

The desire to continue growing this platform is based on my starting point when I address women, which is: “you cannot apply the law unless you know the law, and once you know better you do better”, and for its relatively young age, I am thrilled that Sister In Law has grown to have a positive impact on the lives of many (South) African women. The vision has always been to empower women and enable them to take care of their “home affairs” before the need actually arises, because once a woman, for example, realizes only at divorce stage that she should have taken care of her assets and the interests of her children better, it is already too late.

Through Sister In Law I am confident that many women have avoided getting themselves into various legal implications and my vision to impact and influence women in a positive manner is an active daily experience. There is no greater feeling than knowing that you are exactly where you need to be, and doing exactly what you need to be doing.
