If you insist:

my_list = [1,
           2,
           3,
           "perfect",
           "Tanatswa",
           ["I'm a string, and the first element in the second list",
            "I'm another string, and the second element in the list within a list"]
          ]

First off, you probably want a comma between 3 and "perfect" in your list.

Secondly, this challenge wants exactly 6 items in a list, with the last item being another list that itself contains 2 items. So after you add your comma to separate the third and fourth elements, you'll want to add in that final list item after "Tanatswa",
