Young African-American Lady whose teacher said she cannot make it defeats prophesy, graduates from Oxford and Harvard

A brilliant African-American Lady, Varaidzo Kativhu has excelled tremendously in her academics after graduating from both the University of Oxford in England and Harvard Graduate School of Education for her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees respectively.

Varaidzo Kativhu who narrated her story through her LinkedIn handle noted that her high school teacher had prophesied that she will never make it to the University of Oxford because she “was not good enough”. However, Varaidzo Kativhu fought hard to defeat her prophesy.

Not only did Varaidzo Kativhu defeat her teacher’s prophesy, she broke the ceiling to gain admission to the prestigious Harvard University in the United States for her Master’s degree and is not set to earn her Doctorate degree (PhD) from a university in California, US.

Announcing her newest feat of gaining admission for PhD, she stated that the journey was not easy for her as she got rejected by New York University which led to her taking another gap year. “In February I was rejected by NYU! But today I’M SO PROUD TO SHARE THAT I’VE FINALLY BEEN ACCEPTED FOR MY PhD studies at another school,” she wrote.
