Dube’s personal mantra is “go in and come out different”.
“Being able to learn from various situations puts you at a state where you are able to deal with any obstacle that comes your way,” she said.
“My greatest life lesson was when I fell pregnant during my third year. This was a difficult time, with support from great women like Mrs Mildred Sandi and the late Mrs Mabel Moyo in the Women Coalition of Zimbabwe Bulawayo Chapter, I was able to finish my first degree.
“It was during this time when I got to understand the importance of having mentors as a young woman.”
