But my family was clear that was not going to happen, so I went along with what was expected of me. Says 33-year-old Bojelo Marari from Lekgolobotlo.
Little did Marari know she would one day make a living making others beautiful through her craft as a makeup artist?
“I have always had a creative bone in me and wanted to do something artistic because growing up I would spend hours drawing and making cutouts.
I always felt fulfilled when engaging in any artistic form and working with people,” she said.
Marari gained her stripes providing make up services to church mates during weddings and other functions.
