Nomzamo Mlengana first black SA woman to head to Juilliard School of Arts
Johannesburg-based Nomzamo Mlengana has become the first black South African girl to gain admission to the prestigious Juilliard School of Arts and the first African to be admitted to study drama.
She had just turned 14 when she asked for a formal meeting with her parents and prepared a powerpoint presentation about her career goals and went on to be accepted into Walnut Hill School for the Arts in America.
Joanne Joseph sat down with Mlengana to find out more about how her journey began.

Nomzamo Mlengana, acting student
