Botlhokwa Nondali Ditshepo Ranta is from Johannesburg, South Africa and grew up in a township called Diepkloof. She describes Diepkloof as “a wormhole that is hard to leave,” given the pervasiveness of precarized sex work, teenage pregnancy, and drug and alcohol abuse in this area. Botlhokwa moved to Nairobi, Kenya in 2021 to work as a content moderator at Sama. Even though her experience on the job has been sad and gloomy, she refuses to let tech giants dim her light, as she puts it.
