She made history for Zambia by becoming the first Zambian to play and to score in an NWSL match.
She grew up playing street football in Zambia and describes the footballs they made from plastic bags as the source of her early passion and resilience.
She used to play football in secret, pretending to visit friends so her family wouldn't know.
She has launched a personal foundation to empower young athletes across Southern Africa.
She didn’t know women’s football existed until her teens, and initially had no interest in joining.
She worked various jobs as a teenager to support herself, including in a bus station, market, construction, and even welding.
She played her first official match on her 17th birthday, marking the start of her formal football career.
