Raising awareness about the rights of the unborn is something that is really close to my heart. 
Because of my own life experience of losing a child to abortion when I was 14 years old, I am passionate about preventing abortion.

I am so blessed to have had this amazing song written by the fantastic Katie Pappas, an international songwriter who has written music for Christian movies.

Bruce Retief was responsible for bringing this song to life, and I am so grateful to have worked with them.

The music video was produced by Desmond Denton from Imagen Heart productions, and the video is about the story of a woman in an unplanned pregnancy who chooses life for her baby.  
The video ends where she is presented with another option: abortion, after she has seen what could be if she chooses to let her baby live. 

I pray that this song and this music video will help many girls in unplanned pregnancies to choose life for their babies.

Available on Itunes. 

Think Of Me:

My head on your heartbeat
Your arms wrapped around me
I want to feel everything
Everything
The look that's in your eyes as you hold me for the first time
I want to see everything everything

I don't want to be a what or if 
Or almost was
I want the chance to live and to be loved

One moment could
Chance my fate cos
You could take it all from me and keep it a secret
Or you could hold on to faith that it all is gonna turn out alright just give it
A chance and see it through
I'm at the mercy of you
So think of me before you choose

Taking pictures of my first steps
Being there for all the little moments
I want somebody to cherish me
To think of me
It won't always be easy 
But I'm a chance worth taking worth taking 
Worth taking
Worth taking

One moment could
Change my fate cos
You could take it all from me and keep it a secret
Or you could hold on to faith that it all is gonna turn out alright just give it A chance and see it through
I'm at the mercy of you
So think of me before you choose

#NOTALLMENARETRASH

On Saturday, I had the honour of speaking at a High Tea for moms and their teenage sons. 

Due to the extremely violent crimes commited against women and children that have been reported in the news recently, a  popular hashtag here in South Africa right now is #menaretrash.

I titled my speech #notallmenaretrash, in an attempt to encourage and motivate these boys to be better men.

I told the story of how I know men who have behaved like trash, but also men who are of great value to this world. The opposite of trash is something valuable, and the main message that I hoped to get across to these boys, is that they have a choice between these two.
To be trash, and to make the world ugly and dirty. 

Or to be of value to this world, and to do great things and leave a legacy. 

I have been hurt by men who treated me like I was trash.

I have been sexually harassed, abused, abandoned and used. 

But, I have also been respected and protected by men out there who are not trash.

My grandfather, a respectable and kind man, is not trash.

My husband, a man of integrity, who honours me and my children, is not trash.  

My sons, Dominic, and Quade, are not trash.
And I will do my best to raise them up to be good men.

Perhaps, instead of calling all the men out there trash, we can try to speak life over the ones who are not. It is not fair to call young boys trash. Children will grow into what we speak over them.

To the men out there, the good ones, thank you.

Thank you for being a man of value. 

And please. Please protect us.

Teach your sons to respect women, and don't make fun of women.

Don't share content on your social media that is inappropriate. Don't encourage your friends to act violently. And stop watching porn- it is highly addictive, and studies show that it teaches men to dehumanize and objectify women. There is strong evidence that men who rape and sexually abuse women, watch pornography before committing the crime. So just don't.

Be the man that you wish your daughter could marry.
Add value to the world and make it a better place.

Be that guy.

One Voice Worship Music Festival

I was invited to be a part of the One Voice Music festival, and I jumped at the opportunity!

And the best part? My family was coming along! Road trip!!! Wooohooo!

We drove from Cape Town to East London.

The show was broadcasted live on TBN. It was played in most African countries as well as The UK. I also had an interview for TBN Africa TV and I had the chance to do some busking. 

Link Radio also invited me for an interview, and I spoke about my 2 songs that had been chosen for the Fresh album compilation. 

I am so grateful for this experience, and even more thankful that my family could come with me.
