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.
