“Motorcycle racers, Nicole van Aswegen and Morongoa Mahope will share their perseverance to strive. Women with Drive celebrates the unyielding determination of women who have achieved their best against all odds. Their stories illustrate why one should never stop striving to reach the top," says Herbert.
