Who says going abroad solely means going overseas? In this episode, Onalenna Sebetlela shares her experience moving from Botswana to South Africa for university. She talks about how she rescinded her applications to American universities to study at the University of Cape Town and how that was the change of environment she was looking for. She further talks about the importance of defining success for yourself and using that to pave your personal journey.

Onalenna earned a Bachelor's degree in Sociology, Gender and Law, and then completed her LLB all at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. She is currently in the process of moving back to Botswana to practice law in her home country. You can connect with her on Instagram: @onizzie_seb and on Twitter: @Melanated_Monas
