It takes an almost impossible level of audacity and resilience to build anything in South Africa, whether it’s a startup, a small business, or a social enterprise. Don’t stop. This country needs what you’re building.

Never disturb a toddler in this moment! Don’t help. Don’t suggest. Observe. A capable problem solver is in training and development.

This was the first ever picture I took at PUMA so I thought I'd use it for my last post at this building.
The past 10 years (9.5 if you wanna be a dick about it) has been the most intense and rewarding years of my life.
I had an entire highlight list and thanks typed out but every time I thought it was done I realised there was so much I had left out. Besides, the work speaks for itself.
To everyone who I encountered along the way thank you! Too many to mention but you know who you are.

More than anything, poverty robs you of an opportunity to make mistakes. Every decision has to work, that wrecks your nervous system. You end up surreptitiously perpetuating your dysfunctional cycle.

Overcompensating, over-apologising & over-explaining, are all forms of trauma responses.

I can't believe we know for a fact that our time here is temporary yet we limit our human experiences the way we do. We go out of our way to conform to societal expectations that in no way align with our core values. What is wrong with us?

Toni Morrison emphasized learning “how to receive tremendous joy from problem solving when the problems to be solved involve the improvement of real lives.”
“We really have to learn to love thinking again. Not fretting, not worrying, but thinking… to learn, to change things.”

This Monday on Mindful Mondays with Shudu, I sit down with Charlize Theron for a conversation about Africa’s potential, our young people, the work being done on the ground, and the realities we cannot afford to look away from. Episode out tomorrow 💕

The personality traits that you needed to survive winter are not the ones you need to thrive in summer.
Open your heart.
