In honor of Youth Day and the enduring resilience of South African students since the 1976 student protests, we're re-releasing Finding The Right Words. Meet Nonhlanhla Mashabana, a spelling bee champion and high-achieving high school student who has the odds stacked against her.

As she walks down a road that has caused so many to stumble, how will Nonhlanhla navigate a broken education system? Find out what happens next in episode two, Adulthood is Knocking, dropping soon.
