Africana Woman

The most important story you tell is the one you tell to yourself. That informs the world how they should interact with you. Do you know your story? Are you a victim or a survivor? Which role do you play in your story: a spectator or the shero? The best part of all this, is that you get to decide who you want to be.  Thembe takes us on a journey of understanding the power of storytelling and how y...

Whose responsibility is it to EXALT Africa? Who knows its beauty and hidden gems more than us? Who has been witness to the magnificence of an African sunset? And bitten the sweet juicy fruit in season with fervour. We are blessed.  And it's a privilege for someone to come to Africa to experience our way of life. The way of Ubuntu.  Sadly not enough Africans see that we have an el dorado. Instead w...

Investing in yourself can take different forms. We are mostly familiar with the career path model of personal development. However, I have seen so many people acquire technical skills yet do not advance in their careers or start the business. I believe it's because we need to look at personal development from a wholistic view. The mind, the heart and soul are all connected. Therefore, if there is...

If anyone knows a thing about Reinvention it is Linda Murray Bullard. She has reinvented her career multiple times, she had to relearn how to walk, talk and move again and still managed to bounce back. That cannot be said about so many people who get stuck because something happened; orphaned, widowed, divorced, teenage mum. Challenges are inevitable. Everyone will experience them. BUT how you ris...

What is the mountain in your life that you have to conquer? Often what we don't talk about is the mental, spiritual and emotional preparation for such journeys. We focus on the technical preparation and the physicality of it, however, thats just the tip of the ice berg.  Today I talk to Mountaineer Charlene Milner, who is on a mission to take on the seven summit challenge. We talk about what her e...

 A lot of people associate feminine energy with weakness. Therefore try to distance themselves from femininity. You may feel like being soft will not get what you want or being soft makes you an easy target to be mistreated or physically abused. So we take on more male characteristics and discard the feminine because we feel it does not serve us. This conversation between Salome and Chulu digs dee...

As we kick off Women's Month we are talking about Single Mums. I am a single mum. my mother was a single mum. I know so many people around me who found themselves being single mums most often unintentionally.  A few years ago it was frowned upon and spoken about in hushed voices. Today there are women who choose to be single mums. However, it came about I think we still do not talk about it enough...

The Supermum; a woman who does it all, cooks, cleans, chauffeur, primary caregiver, boss babe, nurse, psychiatrist, adoring wife, undercover stripper, religious pillar, fashionista, woke human ....do you have more  Nje I am tayad for you if this is everything. Somewhere along the way we were programmed to believe that you have to be and do ALL of this by yourself and women take great pride in this...

Prudence dumped her then boyfriend (now husband) because he was too nice! He would cook for her, help her clean, spend hours with her when he had other options, go above and beyond to make sure she was okay. BUT She dumped him.  Ladies are we addicted to trauma bonds & drama? Today we explore gender roles in the context of an African romantic relationship. Bring your notebook and pen. ***** Pruden...

Zoey had two dreams as a child; to play with numbers and to get married. At 18 the marriage bells were calling out to her, two years later she met her husband who told her on their third date that they would be married in two years. Ya'll she didn't even know his last name. When do you think is the right time for women to get married? What are the right questions we should be asking our potential...
