Road from Commissioner Str to Nelson Mandela Bridge and back to Maboneng with @instabikeride. It was such a fun experience, cycling through Joburg town with 80+ additional people.
Our friends, Anneline and Suzanne joined Team LOVEauthentic on a 5km fun run in Benoni. They were such great sports. It was for Suzanne's very first 5km race. So proud of your amazing achievement. Well done. Thanks for guys for joining us ... was loads of fun.
To many more races .... and so #teamloveauthentic grows. Team LOVEauthentic (Tejal , Charita and myself-Baveesha) did a 12km Run and my mum did a 6km walk.
It was such great fun and I'm so proud of the entire team . It was only on Saturday that we decided to go, I wish we had planned it early, so all our LOVEauthentic friends and family could join in the fun. Never the less, the idea was born and now we'll publish events that we can all do together... Adults, kids, friends and family...

On 31 March 2015, Alvina Motilall shared her Vitiligo story with us all (http://www.loveauthentic.co.za/alvina-motilall.html). In her story she mentions that she wrote and presented speeches in school that dealt with her Vitiligo.
She shares the speeches with us. Here's her first speech, that she presents when she's just 12 years old. We'll publish all 3 speeches over the next week. Please stay tuned, it's such a touching read. Hope you all enjoy. Thank you Alvina for sharing. Story by Baveesha Naran When I'm not doing photography for LOVEauthentic, I'm at work at ATNS (Air Traffic and Navigation Services). ATNS was having a woman's day event on the 7 Aug and my friend Nompumelelo Mthethwa (Mpumi) asked me to talk at the event. I was nervous because I am terrified of public speak... but I knew this was a great opportunity for me to be able to share my journey and share how LOVEauthentic has changed my life.
When I asked Mpumi to ask someone else, she refused and said that she knows that “people are ready to hear, what I have to say”. That was beautiful... that someone could value your thoughts so much. She obviously had way more faith in me than I had in myself. Like it was meant to be... the contents of the speech came to me so naturally. Furthermore, when I spoke I could not believe how calm I felt. Normally I'd be shaking... but telling my story and the excitement of the journey, came so easily..... I loved every moment of it. The reactions to it as well ... was so warm and loving. Got to say I love my fellow ladies so much. My lesson from this day was, "When you're doing what you're meant to be doing (ie. fulfilling your purpose), everything and I mean everything, comes together to help you through it. " Thanks Mpumi for having faith that I could do this. Thanks ATNS for spoiling us and bring us all together. We work in the same building but most times never get to even know each others names. It was an awesome day. We later did what ladies do best ... posing.. and captured pics of the beautiful ladies who were able to attend. Girls just always having fun. Thanks also to my good friend Nogs (Manogari Moonsammy) for the brilliant idea of adding Powerwords to the Photobooth idea. It was purer brilliance. All my fellow ATNS ladies.. apologies that this took so long. #loveauthentic #loveauthenticsa #babysteps #selfappreciation #atns #womansday #womansdayinitiative #moments Photography by Baveesha Photography Story by Nogz Click to view larger images
