Life Quote by Trinity Chasara
“I refuse to be a statistic, to be a fog, a mist just drifting by, a nothing, a roving fool, I refuse that my life story end in dust, I refuse to be fabricated, diluted or silenced, I will be something more, passionate, zealous and faithful towards who I am, what I stand for and the dreams I have, I will not be pinned down, be spoken down by circumstances, be caged, die in a rut, I refuse, I refuse mediocrity, poverty, pride”
