Current title Executive Chairperson, Young Women in Business Network Course at Wits Business School Master of Management in Entrepreneurship & New Venture Creation, 2014 A defining moment in my career The most defining moment in my life was when I realised that black women could own a bank that focuses on entrepreneurs, but most importantly it was having my own people affirming my dream by supporting it financially. It is realising the power in numbers that we have as black people, the power of collaboration and working together to change our previously disadvantaged narrative, it is living the future that my mind has seen and making it come to life. Nothing beats waking up every morning to not only change my life but the lives of others too.

    The defining moment of my career was when I left a successful career in the corporate world to join a few ex-colleagues and friends in starting a new bank. This was a daunting move after having spent most of my career in a world where complex challenges were sheltered by the relative security of size, then moving to another world of complex challenges with no security.

    As an activist and a businessman, I experienced several defining moments in my career. I completed my MBA at Wits Business School in 1971. I could not find any meaningful employment as the predominantly white corporate business sector would not employ people of colour in senior management positions.

    Heraclitus said, “The only thing that is constant is change.” My entire life and career have been and continue to be defined by a series of radical changes; a series of moments, based on numerous epiphanies that have led to an amazing journey of personal transformation and an exploration of experiencing the true nature of who we are.
