A Black South African mother trains for leadership in her post-apartheid township.

25 years after the end of apartheid, a Black South African mother is training to become a leader in her township. With only a fifth grade education, Jabulile Ndaba is learning through Kopanang, a women’s project that enables women to earn money through embroidery. When the Irish nun running the program announces she will be moving, Jabulile and her fellow leaders must take over or risk losing it.
