Living The Imperfect Life with Nekisha Lupke
In episode 48, we explore a life of imperfection with Mrs South Africa 2023 finalist, Nekisha Lupke.
Nekisha takes us through her childhood in Durban where she witnessed violence, abuse in different forms and how this experience impacted her mental health. We talk about pretty privilege and being bullied in school because of the dark colour in comparison to the children in her neighbourhood. Then we move on to discuss her relationship with her father and how his passing led to her sister dying by suicide, her own suicide ideation and overdosing on the feel good pills. We close off by discussing how motherhood and marriage impacted her views on provision and working together as a couple to raise a respectful and loving family.
Nekisha Lupke is a Mrs South Africa 2023 finalist, she's an Educator, online ESL specialist coach and Entrepreneur. In my spare time, I enjoy creating inspirational YouTube videos, hosting woman empowerment events, spending time with my family and reading. I am #EveryWoman because I have imperfections that I have chose to accept and grow through.
