Founder of Thrive Initiative on CCFM

If we want to change the reality of bullying and Gender-Based Violence in South Africa, we must start with truth:

💡 These problems are not driven by logic.
💡 They are driven by emotion, stress and somatic memory, the body’s automatic survival system.

In my recent CCFM interview, we explored real examples of how the nervous system shapes behaviour, and why traditional approaches fail to create long-term change.

Now that GBV has been declared a national disaster, South Africa is being called to act in a deeper way.

Not through more fear.
Not through more punishment.
But through emotional regulation, trauma-informed support and somatic education.

We’ve always been a nation that stands together when it matters most.
Now is one of those moments.
