About this Episode:
Growing up in a rural village in Zimbabwe, Tererai Trent had 4 children by the time she was 18. However, she had a sacred dream to go to the U.S. and earn a Ph.D., an idea which many said was impossible. In this episode, Tererai shares her story of clinging to her dream until it became reality, and the steps each of us can follow to awaken our own sacred dreams.
