Minnie Dlamini

"My career has never been, and will never be, defined by my relationship status. I was Minnie before marriage, and I will be Minnie long after my divorce."

"Speaking was always something that I had, I never thought in my wildest dreams that that’s what I would do as a career, I thought definitely I’d be an actress. So when the opportunity came for me to act, I ran with it."

"I’ve always been someone who understands that I whatever my circumstances are, I can get up and I can work and I can still make sure that I live the life that I want for myself, regardless of what’s been afforded to me or not."

"There’s a lot of women who walked that path before me. But I made a conscious decision to walk the path very feminine. I think I was one of the first girls to wear heels on a soccer pitch, and a dress, and full face-beat."

"No woman is now forced to compromise their femininity when they present what they do. I was one of the first to do it and I’m so proud of that. But it was a very scary time because you’re walking a space with a lot of resistance."

"I’m definitely where I am because of the path that other people have walked before me."
