## Resource

What is it like to grow up inside a system you did not create? In this deeply personal episode of the Project I AM Podcast , David shares his experience of growing up in apartheid South Africa and reflects on the historical events that shaped an entire generation. But this episode is not simply about history. It is about what history teaches us. At the heart of the episode are three personal lessons David carries with him from growing up in apartheid South Africa, lessons about how systems shape us, the remarkable capacity of human beings to transform, and why healing always begins with truth. Through storytelling and reflection, this episode invites listeners to consider how the systems we inherit influence who we become and how we might participate in shaping a more just future. Because sometimes the journey of becoming is not only personal. Sometimes it is historical.
