  • What I love about Wadzanai Garwe as a speaker is her authenticity, integrity, and courage to speak the truth. At a time when fear seems to be the ‘king of the world’ it is refreshing, inspiring, and empowering to hear a loud confident voice who speaks her mind. Plus: Her Self Love Advocacy is a powerful soothing antidote to the fear triggered brains of audiences. She shares a message everyone needs to hear right now.”
