“I can’t put it into words. It’s incredibly difficult. It’s more than difficult. It’s another thing altogether,” she narrated before disclosing that her relatives have deserted her family.
“We’ve seen it all. We’ve been through it and then some. My family and I have been looked down upon, insulted, ex-communicated, deserted, abandoned, disinherited, you name it.”
When asked for the one thing she could ask God for, Yvonne responded:
“Sight for my brother.
I was, for a long time, very angry with God. I used to think, He is God, He has the power to take away every hardship my family has been through. I was quite angry with him, then I made peace with it, and learnt to forgive, even Him.”
Her advice to millennials…
“Get as much experience as you can. Whether it’s paid or unpaid, whether you think it’s relevant or not, absorb every single experience. No experience is ever wasted.”
