A Quote by Ncuti Gatwa
I'd been warned that acting was an unstable profession and knew my parents couldn't support me financially. I had assured them I was going to work as hard as possible to make this career happen so their hard work, as immigrants who fled Rwanda and sacrificed everything for me, wouldn't be in vain. But I was falling short on my promise.

Thirdly, a conviction that aviation was a profession of the future and therefore had room to welcome its new followers.

My parents worked very hard for everything that they got. Their parents worked hard.
