Wendy Alexander grew up in South Africa feeling the sting of segregation and racism. As Wendy shares her story she talks about her first encounter at a whites only beach when she was seven and later as she was asked to leave a whites only coach on a train at age fifteen.  Her father and mother wanted a better life for Wendy and her four siblings so the family moved to Melbourne, Australia. Wendy talks of a relationship that ended in part due to physical abuse while she was pregnant. She shares about the difficulties of having a baby while single and not having any support from the baby"s father. As I sit here and reflect on our conversation I must admit that hearing how Wendy persevered during her darkest days is what stands out. She had a large debt, had a newborn and worked hard to rise above her situation.  Wendy is a great example of someone who has a never give up attitude and it was a pleasure hearing her story.  Book: Internal Uprising Instagram: wendy_a_alexander CEO & Founder at Happy Career Hub  -  happycareerhub.com Helping job seekers and career changers achieve better jobs, better incomes and better career options while maintaining good health, connected relationships and ongoing peace of mind.
