There is something enthralling about listening to Anastacia Tomson-Myburgh talk. She seems to have instant access to all the knowledge she’s accumulated in her life and can weave together clean, precise, lucid answers to almost any question, whether it is of an existential, factual, philosophical, sociological, medical or political nature.
