    This is the saddest story, I don't know where she finds the strength to tell it, I'd be crying all the way. They should turn it into a movie. She tells her story in such a comical way you don't know whether to cry or laugh.

    I read Vanessa’s book. Very interesting story. I believe what happened to her is an important lesson for so many young women so as unfortunate as it was, her story didn’t go to waste. I had major questions about the Thai trip. Why would Vanessa agree to travel to a foreign country alone and pregnant? Why would “Jackson” set a pregnant lady up to be a decoy? Did she really not know about the books? Usually decoys agree to drug trafficking but get shocked when they’re arrested at the airport. Why was she upset at her baby daddy if it was “Jackson” who “set” her up?
    Doesn’t matter anymore. We’re here now and I’m happy to see her and her daughter growing strong.

    Thanks a lot Vanessa for sharing your story. I'm grateful I watched it, there's someone who asked me to bring them books and this just changed my mind. I'm also struggling with forgiving someone who scammed me R220,000. I pray that I find forgiveness in my heart the way you did. Thanks Relebogile, your questions and approach to sensitive matters like these is always on point.

    It buffels me to think how much fashion passionate can one be to be ready to revel while pregnant just so that to explore about men’ fashion. She knew and her and her boyfriend believed that because of her pregnancy they will be able to bypass the system. She doesn’t sound convincing to me her story and he domino aren’t adding up, if we are to help our young girls we have to open up to the truth, that so now allow your greedy to expose you to criminal activities.
