For those who don't know, after a busy day at the office, a hectic workshop, writing reports or working on a book, I love being in the kitchen! Today was one of those days!

I grew up in a home where males were trained to cook. I don't think my mom knew about gendered roles at the time! And she probably could'nt care less! ๐Ÿ˜€โฃ๐Ÿ‘Œ

"I am 22 years old and I left school in grade 11 (personal issues). Immediately I was forced to go work but didn't succeed , I have been looking for an admin job for the past 3-4 years.

But deep down that wasn't what I wanted to do. For years I've been watching YouTube videos educating myself on doing nails and make-up etc until I saw the post of aunty Melanie Payne about this beauticians and massage course and I had to take it on with two hands!!!

There was a good vibe about going to every class, always looking forward to a Monday. Not long I then applied for a job in a beauty salon and got in, all because of open doors and YoungPeople@Work!

I never matriculated but today I graduated ๐ŸŽ“!" ๐Ÿ˜€

Congrats Jade-Lee! From the management of YoungPeople@Work. The future belongs to those who prepare for it! ๐Ÿ‘Š
