Pearl Thusi expresses gratitude and excitement as she finally overcomes her fears to ensure that her dream comes true. Over the weekend, the South African star performed on stage for the first time as a musician. Pearl said she feared being judged.
“Was playing Imithandazo to end my set, o had to thank God for carrying me through that hour. I’ve made a dream come true. Whether this makes sense to you or not… worry about yourself and making your dreams come true. I pray this convinces you to never give up on what you want to achieve. 
“I was always so worried about what everyone would say about this decision- for nearly a decade. Angisanandaba nezinkulumo zabantu… I practiced until I couldn’t stand anymore… I’m so happy because I overcame the fear of judgement- forgetting that only God has the right to judge me. I’m free,” she concludes. In the wide-ranging interview, Thusi opened up about the current space, including how she is focusing on her holistic journey after having built a solid career for herself and spearheading the first Netflix series in Africa.
“I’m exploring new avenues, challenging myself not to be defined solely by what the world sees. I understand that to those who haven’t grasped how swiftly time passes, and who are caught up in the pursuit of power, success, and love, my perspective might sound a bit unconventional.
“I want to look back and see beyond the visible accomplishments, making time to take care of my thoughts and peace – a realisation influenced by the yearnings of my childhood, now evolved and often neglected, leaving behind a sense of emptiness that I must address before committing to creating again.
