  1. Not knowing her in person, I see her waking up every morning trying to the right and succeeding. And yes, she is whilst staying humble more of her real signature. Watching that game, I see how she single handedly making the Zambian flag fly higher than ever before. Searches for Barbara and Zambia have gone high. Just keep on doing the thing and perfecting your game.

    • The best of Barbara us personality, she is humble, respectful and intelligent. She is like Patson Daka but Barbara much better.
      And she playing with best players like Marta of Brazil, but still not showing off pride.

    • She just needs to be careful, especially as we get ready for the Olympics; these Americans may add disqualifying stuff into her drink and then put her into mandatory testing.
