Radio presenter battled depression in high school.

Radio personality Keabetswe “Kea” Boya plans to use her voice to spread mental health awareness having battled depression in the past. – between 2pm to 5pm, is highly influenced by Anele Mdoda’s quirkiness and Bonang Matheba’s work ethic.

The 26-year-old who describes herself as smart, witty and creative, hopes to also become a mental health ambassador for the United Nations after her battle with depression back in high school. “I taught myself to fight for the things I wanted. I fell into depression in high school because I felt the expectation for me to perform well academically. Another reason was the fear of change because I changed schools about three times in my high school phase," Boya remembered.

“I first went to a new school that was being opened in the area, I studied there grade 8 and 9 but the school wasn’t going great, so I was then taken to Cornerstone College where I attended grade 10 and 11 but I then fell into depression the same year ."I then had to go to Clapham High School where I completed my matric. I really went through different transitions in those years and that took a toll on me," she said.
