Believing from a young age that she had ‘limitless potential’, founder of the charity Creating Better Futures, Dorothy Dix, believed she could achieve anything regardless of her background. Growing up in Zimbabwe where education is still a privilege for many, Dorothy embraced every opportunity that came her way and at 16 travelled to Norway to study. Dorothy is now passing on her love of learning and her Believe To Achieve attitude, empowering children in Zimbabwe to take inspired action to create a better future.
KEY TAKEAWAY-
“Unlocking my hidden confidence means looking within myself, understanding who I really am, what is it that I naturally do? And do well? What is it that drives me, that gives me energy and passion.”
