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.

    I used to try candy-coat things, but no longer: giving birth is less painful, less bloody and infinitely quicker than getting your first novel published. If you haven’t been smothered under the avalanche of “Dear Author, Thank you for your submission, but …” slips by the time you find a publisher, you and your manuscript will still have to face the pitiless glint of your editor’s scythe.

    Bali Island, Indonesia, was in its usual element in December 2013 – beautiful and tranquil with the warm Indian Ocean waters and hospitable local inhabitants blending seamlessly with the hot and humid weather. Yet, enjoying the warm Bali weather was only peripheral to my visit.
