Many see her as an accomplished young woman; wealth, beauty and grace.
She ticked every box that her society made a visual representation of success. She's the envy of many among her peers and a formidable Opponent to others.
However, Nyima Darboe knew too well that beneath this admiration lays a deep truth that she doesn't dare speak of. The same people that hail her goodness won't bat an eyelid to blame her for something she had no control over. Silence was therefore her only choice, but will she stay silent over those she could at least be a voice for ?
She built a fortress around her past and wouldn't let anyone traverse its path. Not even the all too dashing middle-aged lawyer that has started to cross dangerous waters.
