When Tererai Trent was growing up in a village in rural North of Zimbabwe in the 1970s, the future looked bleak. She seemed set to repeat the pattern followed by her female ancestors - marrying young, mothering many children and living a life of poverty. But Tererai was determined to break the cycle. She now has 3 university degrees. Image: Profile picture of Tererai Trent Credit: Bud Harmon
