She had this to say about why she created the series (from the YouTube description):

Being a woman in South Africa today is a journey of mountains and valleys, it has it's high's and lows. I wanted to do this series to see where exactly do we stand, are we in a good place as women in South Africa?

I know that it is not enough to just talk about issues, but I believe an open dialogue may inspire people to act on things that are passionate to them and help make a change in the world with what they have. This is what I have and I do hope it makes a difference to our society.
