Episode 29 Makhosi Mthiyane - #WisdomPersonified Conversations with Dudu Msomi

"For everything you have missed, you have gained something else. And for everything you gain, you lose something else." - Ralph Waldo Emerson This quote encapsulates the ‘no regret’ attitude of Makhosi Mthiyane, CEO of Ingqapheli Security, (https://www.ingqapheli.co.za/) who are specialists in security solutions. There are genuinely few human beings in this world that I am in awe of. A two- time high school dropout with passion and determination for learning and personal improvement who matriculated in her 20s. Sis’ Makhosi is a role model for girls and women anywhere in the world. In her community, she was seen as having achieved with Grade 8 (Standard 6) and reached her ceiling at the age of 18 years because she was engaged, expecting a child, ready for motherhood and to be a dutiful wife. The courage to create the life she wanted and deserved for herself and her children by creating her niche in the business world, is one of the most inspirational conversations I have had yet. 8th of March is International Women’s Day. The 2021 theme is “Women in Leadership: Achieving an equal future in a Covid-19 world”. There is not a more apt representative of the concrete ceiling that African women face with the intersectionality of race, gender, and culture creating constraints to their opportunities for development and advancement in the workplace and into positions of leadership. Watch. Be inspired. Be wiser for knowing better so that as society, we can do better. #MakhosiMthiyane #IngqapheliSecurity #DuduMsomi #Wisdom #Leadership #WisdomPersonified #Security #ConversationsWithDuduMsomi
