Transcript

00:00Nia had come a long way from the helpless girl who was once treated like a servant in her own home.

00:05Now, she was a name the world couldn't ignore.

00:08Her fashion empire had grown beyond anyone's imagination, spreading across continents.

00:14People called her a genius, a visionary, a miracle entrepreneur.

00:19But no matter how high she rose, there were always whispers, shadows of the past that refused to fade.

00:26Some still mocked her, they called her the girl with crippled hands, as if the scars on her skin made her any less powerful.

00:35Behind closed doors they sneered, saying she was just lucky that someone like her could never truly belong among the elite.

00:43Nia had heard it all, and for a long time she ignored it, choosing to focus on her success.

00:50But deep down, a fire burned inside her, a fire that refused to die.

00:55She wasn't ashamed of her past, she wasn't afraid of her scars, and she was done letting people define her.

01:01So, she decided to make a move, one that would shake the entire world.

01:06She would host the biggest fashion event Africa had ever seen.

01:09A night that would bring the most powerful people in the industry under one roof.

01:14And among the guests, Zalika's daughters.

01:17The same girls who had laughed at her pain, who had once called her worthless.

01:22This wasn't just an event, it was her moment.

01:25The night she would show them all who she had become.

01:28The world had already seen Nia rise, but now, she was about to make them stop and stare.

01:34She was done letting people whisper about her.

01:36Done letting them question how she got here.

01:38It was time to remind them exactly who she was.

01:41So, she made the announcement.

01:43The Golden Hands Gala.

01:45The biggest fashion event Africa had ever seen.

01:48It wasn't just another glamorous evening.

01:50It was history in the making.

01:52Every top designer.

01:54Every powerful business tycoon.

01:56Every influencer who mattered.

01:58They were all invited.

01:59The media exploded with excitement.

02:02Journalists wrote headline after headline about the event that no one wanted to miss.

02:07Tickets became the most sought after invitation in the fashion world.

02:11Everyone wanted to be there.

02:13And so did Zalika's daughters.

02:15Once, they had everything.

02:17Beauty.

02:18Wealth.

02:18Power.

02:19They had walked through life with their heads high.

02:21Believing they were untouchable.

02:23But things had changed.

02:24Their once thriving business was crumbling.

02:27And their names no longer carried the same weight.

02:30Investors were pulling out.

02:32Their influence was fading.

02:34And now, the Golden Hands Gala was their chance.

02:38If they could impress the right people, they might just save themselves.

02:42Nia made sure they received their invitations.

02:45She wanted them there.

02:46She wanted them to walk through those grand doors.

02:50Believing they had an opportunity.

02:52Believing they were still in control.

02:54What they didn't know was that this night wasn't just about fashion.

02:59It wasn't about business deals or celebrity appearances.

03:02This night had a different purpose.

03:05Nia had a plan.

03:06A plan to show them all.

03:09Every single person who had ever doubted her, mocked her, or tried to keep her in the shadows.

03:14That she was not just successful.

03:16She was unstoppable.

03:18And when the night finally came, the world would watch.

03:22The night of the Golden Hands Gala arrived.

03:24And it was nothing short of magical.

03:27The venue sparkled with golden lights.

03:30The red carpet stretched out like a path to royalty.

03:33And the air buzzed with excitement.

03:36The world's most powerful designers, celebrities, and business tycoons

03:41stepped out of their luxury cars, dressed in the finest gowns and suits.

03:46Cameras flashed.

03:48Reporters scrambled for interviews.

03:50And social media couldn't stop talking about the grandest fashion event of the year.

03:55Amidst all the glitz and glamour, two figures walked in.

03:59Their confidence forced.

04:01Their smiles carefully practiced.

04:04Zalika's daughters.

04:05They had once been the untouchable queens of high society.

04:09Rich, arrogant, and cruel.

04:11They had mocked Nia when she was nothing.

04:14They had laughed at her pain, looked down on her, and treated her like she didn't belong.

04:19But now, their world had changed.

04:21Their once thriving business was collapsing.

04:24Their luxurious lifestyle was slipping through their fingers.

04:27The investors who once chased after them now ignored their call.

04:31And tonight, this event was their last hope.

04:35As they stepped inside, they looked around in awe.

04:38The golden chandeliers above them.

04:40The elegantly dressed crowd.

04:42The journalists hanging on to every moment.

04:45It was everything they used to be a part of.

04:48Everything they were losing.

04:49But they weren't ready to give up.

04:51Not yet.

04:52They spotted Nia across the room.

04:54She stood at the centre of attention.

04:57Draped in a gown that shimmered like gold.

04:59She wasn't just a successful businesswoman, she was a legend now.

05:03People whispered her name with admiration.

05:06Their eyes filled with respect.

05:08The sisters took a deep breath and walked toward her.

05:11Their smiles warm.

05:13Their voices sweet.

05:15Nia!

05:16One of them called out.

05:17Her voice dripping with fake excitement.

05:19We are so proud of you.

05:21Look at everything you've built.

05:23We always knew you were special.

05:25The other nodded quickly.

05:27Yes.

05:28We always believed in you.

05:30And this event.

05:31This is incredible.

05:32Nia turned to them.

05:33Her expression unreadable.

05:35She watched them carefully.

05:37Taking in every fake smile.

05:39Every forced compliment.

05:41She had spent years learning how to read people.

05:44How to see beyond their words.

05:46And right now, she could see the desperation hidden behind their charm.

05:50They weren't here to celebrate her.

05:52They weren't here because they respected her.

05:54They were here because they needed something.

05:57Still, she let them talk.

05:59She let them shower her with praises.

06:01Acting as if they had never once tried to break her.

06:04As if they had never whispered behind her back.

06:07Calling her useless and pathetic.

06:10And then, after they had spoken enough, she finally smiled.

06:14Not a warm smile.

06:15Not a forgiving one.

06:16A knowing smile.

06:18A smile that told them she understood exactly why they were here.

06:21How is your business doing?

06:23Nia asked, casually, taking a sip of her drink.

06:26The sisters exchanged a quick, nervous glance.

06:29Oh, you know, it's been a tough time.

06:32One of them admitted, her voice hesitant.

06:35The industry is changing so fast.

06:38Yes, the other added quickly.

06:39But with the right investors, we know we can bring it back stronger than ever.

06:43Nia nodded slowly, pretending to think about their words.

06:47She could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on them.

06:50They were waiting.

06:51Hoping.

06:52Desperate for her to offer help.

06:54For years they had looked down on her.

06:56Now they were standing before her.

06:58Needing her.

06:59But Nia wasn't the same girl they had once bullied.

07:03She wasn't here to save them.

07:04She took another sip of her drink.

07:06Her eyes never leaving theirs.

07:08And then, with the softest, most devastating smile, she said,

07:14I'm sure you'll figure something out.

07:16The sisters froze.

07:17Their forced smiles faltered for just a second before they quickly recovered.

07:22They laughed, pretending her words didn't sting.

07:25Pretending they weren't crumbling inside.

07:28But Nia saw it.

07:29She saw everything.

07:30And for the first time, they knew they had lost.

07:34The night was already unforgettable.

07:36But Nia wasn't finished yet.

07:38She had waited years for this moment.

07:40The moment when the world would finally see the truth.

07:43Not the polished version of her story.

07:45Not the glamorous success they admired from afar.

07:48But the raw, painful journey that had shaped her.

07:52The Grand Hall was packed with the most powerful people in the industry.

07:56Cameras flashed.

07:58Reporters scribbled notes.

07:59And every eye in the room was on her.

08:02Nia stood on the stage, poised and confident.

08:05The golden lights reflecting off her breathtaking gown.

08:09The energy in the room was electric.

08:11But she could feel the weight of the past pressing down on her.

08:14She took a deep breath.

08:15Then spoke.

08:16Many of you know me as the CEO of Nia Designs.

08:20The woman who built a fashion empire from nothing.

08:23Her voice was steady.

08:24But there was emotion behind it.

08:26You've read the headlines.

08:28You've seen the success.

08:29But there's something you don't know.

08:31A hush fell over the crowd.

08:33People leaned in.

08:35Curiosity flickering in their eyes.

08:37Nia's gaze swept across the room.

08:39She saw familiar faces.

08:41Some who had supported her.

08:43Some who had doubted her.

08:44And some who had tried to break her.

08:46And then she saw them.

08:48Zalika's daughters.

08:49Standing near the back.

08:50Watching her with forced smiles.

08:52Pretending they weren't terrified of what she might say next.

08:56Nia continued.

08:57Her voice unwavering.

08:58I was not born into wealth.

09:00I did not inherit this empire.

09:02I built it with my own hands.

09:04She paused.

09:06Letting the words sink in.

09:08The same hands that were once burned.

09:10The same hands that were once mocked.

09:12And treated as useless.

09:15Murmurs spread through the room.

09:17Some people looked confused.

09:19Others shocked.

09:20And then, in one slow, deliberate motion,

09:24Nia lifted her hands and removed her gloves.

09:27Gasps filled the hall.

09:29A wave of silence washed over the crowd as they stared at her bare hands.

09:34Hands that were once scarred and broken, but now strong.

09:38Steady and powerful.

09:40The hands of a survivor.

09:41The hands of a woman who had risen from the ashes.

09:45You mocked these hands, Nia said.

09:48Her voice ringing through the room like thunder.

09:50Now, they run the world.

09:52For a long moment no one spoke.

09:54The weight of her words.

09:55The raw truth of her story.

09:57Left everyone breathless.

09:59And then, applause.

10:01It started as a slow clap.

10:03Hesitant, but filled with admiration.

10:05Then it grew louder.

10:06Stronger.

10:07Within seconds, the entire hall erupted into thunderous applause.

10:11Some people stood.

10:12Some wiped away tears.

10:14Reporters scrambled to capture every moment.

10:17Every word.

10:18But Nia wasn't looking at them.

10:19She was looking at Zalika's daughters.

10:21Their faces were pale.

10:23Their hands trembled at their sides.

10:26The confidence they had walked in with had vanished.

10:29They had spent their lives believing they were superior.

10:33Believing that Nia would always be beneath them.

10:36But now, standing in the shadows of her greatness, they realised the truth.

10:42They had lost.

10:43And Nia.

10:44She had won.

10:45Not with revenge.

10:47Not with cruelty.

10:48But with undeniable power.

10:50The moment Nia removed her gloves and revealed her scars, the world changed.

10:55Within hours, the internet exploded.

10:58News channels ran the story on repeat.

11:01Social media was flooded with clips of her speech.

11:04And hashtags like, were golden hands.

11:07Nia the queen.

11:08And justice served started trending worldwide.

11:12The headlines were brutal.

11:14And they spread like wildfire.

11:16Nia's truth exposed.

11:18The stepmother's daughters fall from grace.

11:21The hands they mocked now rule the fashion world.

11:24Stepmother's greedy daughters face ultimate karma.

11:28Everyone was talking about it.

11:30The biggest celebrities.

11:32Business tycoons.

11:33And even politicians praised Nia's courage.

11:37Fans showered her with love.

11:38Calling her an inspiration.

11:40People who had once doubted her were now in awe of her strength.

11:45She had turned her pain into power.

11:47And the world respected her for it.

11:49But while Nia was being celebrated.

11:51Zalika's daughters were facing something they had never experienced before.

11:55Humiliation.

11:56The next morning they woke up to disaster.

11:59Their phones wouldn't stop buzzing.

12:01But it wasn't investors or business partners.

12:04It was reporters.

12:06Digging for answers.

12:07Their inboxes were flooded with hate comments.

12:10Their social media pages were drowning in backlash.

12:14People were calling them liars, bullies and frauds.

12:18And the worst part.

12:19Their biggest investors backed out.

12:21One by one companies started pulling their deals.

12:25No one wanted to be associated with them.

12:28No one trusted them anymore.

12:30Overnight their business collapsed.

12:32Their empire built on arrogance and greed crumbled like dust.

12:37By the afternoon, news broke that they had officially declared bankruptcy.

12:41The sisters, once the most admired socialites, were now a joke.

12:46Paparazzi followed them everywhere.

12:48Capturing their downfall.

12:50The same people who used to beg for their attention.

12:53Now treated them like a scandal to gossip about.

12:55They tried to deny it.

12:57Tried to pretend they weren't affected.

12:59But the world had already decided their fate.

13:02And Nia, she didn't have to lift a finger.

13:05Karma had done all the work for her.

13:07Zalika had once lived in luxury.

13:10She had servants at her call.

13:12Gold on her fingers.

13:14And a life where she never had to worry about tomorrow.

13:17But that life was gone.

13:19Now she walked the streets.

13:21Tired and hungry.

13:22The fine silk she used to wear.

13:24Had been replaced by cheap worn out clothes.

13:28Her once flawless skin was rough from the sun.

13:31Her hair unkempt.

13:33Her face hollow with exhaustion.

13:35She barely recognised herself.

13:37At first, she'd refused to believe this was happening.

13:41She told herself it was temporary.

13:43That somehow things would turn around.

13:45But days turned into weeks.

13:47And the world had already forgotten her.

13:49She had no money.

13:50No home.

13:51No power.

13:52And her daughters.

13:54They were no better.

13:55Zalika had always taught them to be proud.

13:58To never beg.

13:59To always hold their heads high.

14:01But now, she saw them struggling.

14:03No one wanted to work with them.

14:05No one trusted them.

14:06The doors they used to walk through so easily were now slammed in their faces.

14:11For the first time in her life, Zalika felt something she had never truly felt before.

14:16Regret.

14:16She had spent years chasing power.

14:19Teaching her daughters to do the same.

14:21She had destroyed lives, thinking she was untouchable.

14:24And in the end, she had destroyed herself.

14:27She sat on a bench, staring at her shaking hands.

14:30The same hands that had once held everything now had nothing.

14:34And then, a thought came to her.

14:36There was only one person in the world who could help her now.

14:40Nia.

14:41The girl she had tormented.

14:43The girl she had tried to break.

14:44The girl who had risen above it all.

14:47Zalika had never begged before.

14:49But for the first time in her life, she knew she had no choice.

14:53Swallowing her pride, she stood up and started walking.

14:56The mansion stood tall, grand and shining like a palace.

15:00The golden gates stretched wide,

15:02guarded by men in crisp suits.

15:05It was the kind of place Zalika had once dreamed of owning.

15:08Once believed she deserved.

15:10But now, she stood outside.

15:12Trembling.

15:13Broken.

15:14And with nothing left.

15:15Her feet ached from walking.

15:17Her clothes were wrinkled and stained.

15:19A far cry from the elegant dresses she used to wear.

15:22Her once perfect nails were chipped.

15:24Her fingers shaking from hunger and exhaustion.

15:28She could barely hold herself up.

15:30The guards at the gate looked at her with confusion.

15:33Then disgust.

15:34They recognized her.

15:35Everyone did.

15:36She was no longer the feared and powerful woman she once was.

15:40She was a joke.

15:41A fallen queen with nowhere to go.

15:44I need to see her.

15:45Zalika whispered.

15:46Her voice dry and weak.

15:48I need to see Nia.

15:49One of the guards raised an eyebrow.

15:51Madam Nia doesn't take unexpected guests.

15:54Zalika's heart pounded.

15:56She knew this wouldn't be easy.

15:57But she had no choice.

15:59Please.

16:00She said louder this time.

16:02Tell her.

16:03Tell her it's Zalika.

16:04The guards exchanged glances.

16:06One of them picked up a phone, speaking in a hushed voice.

16:09A few moments later, he nodded and turned to her.

16:12She says you may enter.

16:14Zalika let out a shaky breath as the gates opened.

16:17With every step toward the mansion, her legs felt heavier.

16:20The grand entrance loomed before her, its golden doors opening slowly.

16:25Revealing a world she no longer belonged to.

16:28And then, she saw her.

16:30Nia.

16:31She stood in the center of the vast, luxurious hall.

16:34Dressed in a sleek black gown.

16:36Her posture regal.

16:38Her face calm, yet unreadable.

16:40The glow of success surrounded her.

16:42She was no longer the scared, helpless girl Zalika once knew.

16:46She was power itself.

16:47For a moment, Zalika hesitated.

16:50How could she face the woman she had tried to destroy?

16:53How could she ask for anything after what she had done?

16:56But desperation crushed her pride.

16:58With a sudden sob, Zalika dropped to her knees.

17:02Nia.

17:03She choked out.

17:04Please.

17:05Please forgive me.

17:06The room fell silent.

17:08Even the staff members watching from a distance seemed frozen in shock.

17:12Nia remained still.

17:14Her expression impossible to read.

17:16Her dark eyes studied the woman kneeling before her.

17:20The same woman who had once laughed as she suffered.

17:23Who had burned her hands.

17:25Humiliated her.

17:26And left her for dead.

17:28Zalika sobbed.

17:29Gripping the floor with weak fingers.

17:32I was blind.

17:33I was selfish.

17:34I lost everything.

17:35I don't deserve your kindness, but I have nowhere else to go.

17:39My daughters.

17:40They're suffering.

17:42I'm suffering.

17:42Please Nia.

17:44Have mercy.

17:46For the first time in her life, Zalika was truly begging.

17:49But Nia said nothing.

17:51The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating.

17:54Zalika dared to look up, hoping to see pity in Nia's eyes.

17:58But there was none.

17:59Only cold, quiet strength.

18:02Nia stood still, watching Zalika kneel before her.

18:06Her once proud face now streaked with tears.

18:09The woman who had once ruled with cruelty was now nothing more than a desperate broken soul.

18:15But Nia felt no satisfaction in this moment.

18:18She had already won.

18:20The world had already seen the truth.

18:22Still, something inside her hesitated.

18:25She could turn Zalika away.

18:27Let her walk back into the streets with nothing.

18:30It would be fair.

18:31It would be justice.

18:32But Nia knew true power wasn't about revenge.

18:36It was about control.

18:37About choosing who you became in the face of those who had wronged you.

18:40She took a deep breath.

18:42Then finally spoke.

18:43You want my help?

18:44Her voice was calm.

18:46Steady.

18:46You want forgiveness?

18:48Zalika nodded frantically.

18:49Yeah.

18:50Please.

18:51I will do anything, Nia.

18:52Anything.

18:53A silence stretched between them.

18:55Then Nia took a slow step forward, looking down at the woman who had once made her life

19:00a nightmare.

19:01Fine, she said.

19:02You will work for me.

19:03Zalika's breath caught in her throat.

19:06What?

19:07You will work in my factory, Nia continued.

19:10You will earn every penny you once stole from me.

19:13Every coin, every opportunity, every ounce of dignity you tried to take from me.

19:19You will now earn it back, the hard way.

19:22Zalika's face paled.

19:24Work?

19:25She had never worked a day in her life.

19:27She had spent years looking down on the people who did manual labour.

19:30The thought of sweating in a factory, taking orders, being treated like nothing, it terrified

19:37her.

19:37Nia, please!

19:39She whispered, her voice shaking.

19:41I…

19:42I am not young anymore.

19:44I am not strong.

19:45I won't survive such hard work.

19:48Nia didn't blink.

19:49Neither was I when you burned my hands.

19:52Zalika flinched.

19:53The memory of that day hit her like a slap.

19:55The smell of burning skin.

19:57The sound of Nia's screams.

19:59Things she had laughed at back then.

20:01She swallowed hard.

20:03But…

20:03Zalika hesitated, her pride still clinging to her like a shadow.

20:08Surely there is another way.

20:09There is no other way.

20:11Nia cut her off.

20:12If you truly want redemption, you will take this chance.

20:16If not, the door is right there.

20:19Zalika turned, glancing at the golden doors behind her.

20:22Walking out meant returning to nothing.

20:24To hunger.

20:25To shame.

20:26She had no choice.

20:28Slowly she lowered her head.

20:29I will do it, she whispered.

20:31Nia nodded, as if she had already known Zalika would say yes.

20:35Then report to the factory at dawn, she said.

20:38And don't expect any special treatment.

20:41No one there will care who you used to be.

20:43You will be just another worker.

20:45Zalika nodded weakly.

20:47She wanted to beg for mercy.

20:49But deep down she knew she had no right to.

20:51For the first time in her life, Zalika would learn the meaning of hard work.

20:56The morning air was cold, and the factory buzzed with the sounds of machines, voices,

21:01and the steady rhythm of hard work.

21:03Workers moved quickly, their hands busy, their faces tired but determined.

21:08It was a world Zalika had never known.

21:11A world she had once looked down on.

21:13Now, she was part of it.

21:15She stood at the entrance, her body stiff with fear.

21:18The supervisor, a woman with sharp eyes and a no-nonsense attitude, handed her a uniform.

21:24Plain, rough fabric that smelled of sweat and work.

21:27Zalika hesitated before putting it on.

21:29She had once worn silk and diamonds.

21:32Now she was just another worker.

21:34Her first task was simple.

21:35Packaging fabrics.

21:37But even that felt impossible.

21:39Her hands, once used only for luxury,

21:42now shook as she tried to fold and wrap the delicate material.

21:46She was slow, clumsy.

21:48Other workers sighed, rolling their eyes,

21:51muttering about the old woman who didn't belong here.

21:54By midday, her back ached.

21:57Her fingers felt numb, and sweat dripped from her forehead.

22:01The heat inside the factory was unbearable.

22:04She watched younger workers move swiftly,

22:06their hands skilled, their bodies used to the labour.

22:10She had once mocked people like them.

22:12Now, she envied them.

22:14On the second day, the work got harder.

22:16She was assigned to carry rolls of fabric,

22:18heavier than she had expected.

22:20Her arms trembled, and after just a few steps,

22:23she dropped one.

22:25The loud thud echoed through the factory,

22:27and laughter followed.

22:28She can't even lift it, someone muttered.

22:31Zalika's face burned with shame.

22:33But no one helped her.

22:34No one cared who she used to be.

22:36By the end of the first week, she could barely stand.

22:39Her feet were swollen.

22:40Her body screamed with pain.

22:42She wanted to quit.

22:44She wanted to run.

22:45But where would she go?

22:46For the first time, she truly understood what she had done to Nia.

22:50She had once forced Nia to work endlessly.

22:53Treated her like she was nothing.

22:55Made her feel weak and unwanted.

22:58Now, she was feeling every bit of that pain.

23:01The realisation cut deep.

23:02Days turned into weeks.

23:05Slowly, something inside her began to change.

23:08She stopped complaining.

23:09She stopped expecting kindness.

23:11Instead, she observed.

23:13She listened.

23:14She saw the workers laugh despite their struggle.

23:17Help each other when no one was looking.

23:19Share food when someone had none.

23:21She saw dignity in labour.

23:23Something she had never believed in before.

23:25She started working harder.

23:27At first, no one noticed.

23:29Then, little by little, they did.

23:31She carried the fabric without dropping it.

23:34She folded the materials without mistakes.

23:36Her body, once weak, became stronger.

23:38The whispers of mockery slowly faded.

23:41One day, during a lunch break, an older woman handed her a piece of bread.

23:45Eat, she said simply.

23:47Zalika stared at it, shocked.

23:49No one had shown her kindness in a long time.

23:52She took it with trembling hands.

23:55The woman smiled.

23:56Hard work changes people.

23:58Zalika swallowed the lump in her throat.

24:00She was changing.

24:02Weeks later, Nia visited the factory.

24:04She walked through the workstations, her presence commanding.

24:08She saw Zalika, bent over a pile of fabric, working silently, sweat on her forehead.

24:14Her movements careful and steady.

24:16Zalika didn't notice her at first.

24:18Then, she looked up and froze.

24:20For a moment, they just stared at each other.

24:22Nia saw something she never expected.

24:24Not arrogance.

24:25Not bitterness.

24:26Humility.

24:27Zalika lowered her gaze.

24:29I have learned, she said quietly.

24:31I was cruel.

24:32I was blind.

24:33I destroyed myself.

24:35She paused, her voice breaking.

24:37I don't expect forgiveness, Nia.

24:39But I thank you for making me see.

24:42Nia studied her for a long time, then nodded.

24:44She had won.

24:45Not through revenge.

24:47Through wisdom.

24:47Nia stood on the grand stage, looking at the thousands of people gathered before her.

24:53Cameras flashed, reporters whispered, and the world watched as she took a deep breath.

24:58Years ago, she had been nothing more than a broken girl, mocked and abandoned.

25:03Now, she was a legend.

25:05Her hands, once burned and scarred, had built an empire, but she wanted them to build something

25:11even greater.

25:12With a steady voice, she announced the launch of the Golden Hands Foundation, a sanctuary for

25:18burn victims and abused children.

25:20A place where those who had suffered, just like she had, could find hope, healing, and strength.

25:26Tears filled the eyes of many in the audience.

25:29Survivors, once hidden in the shadows, now stood tall, inspired by Nia's journey.

25:35She wasn't just a fashion mogul.

25:37She was a symbol of resilience.

25:39Her story spread across the world.

25:41News outlets called her,

25:42The woman who rose from ashes.

25:44Parents whispered her name to their daughters, as an example of strength.

25:49Schools taught her journey as a lesson in perseverance.

25:52As for Zalika and her daughters, they disappeared into obscurity.

25:56No one spoke their names anymore.

25:58Their beauty.

25:59Their wealth.

26:00Their once powerful status.

26:02None of it mattered now.

26:04But Nia, she was unforgettable.

26:06She walked off the stage, her head high, her heart full.

26:10She had won.

26:11Not just for herself, but for every person who had ever been told they weren't enough.

26:16And her legacy.

26:18It would shine forever.
