Moving to Africa was very scary for me, but thanks to Roots, the transition was very smooth. I interned in South Africa for three months in the gender-based violence space and realized that aiding survivors of GBV is something I am incredibly passionate about. After my time in South Africa, I headed to Zambia to intern in a community center. My internship in Zambia taught me a lot about the different aspects of running a nonprofit, as well as exposed me to different sectors I could potentially work in. Both of these internships have helped me for the better and have guided me in figuring out what I want my future career to look like.
