Sol is a first-generation Eritrean - South African. Having experienced life through various lenses, she's learnt to develop a strong sense of story. 'Understanding that despite all our differences, we're all fundamentally the same. We all want peace, love, and to feel valued and heard. Wherever you go on this planet, you will always meet people with dreams and stories they want to share. That's the secret to great storytelling. Understanding.'
