After School Is After School With Sis G.U

Sho, Genge!

Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U.

Yes, Genge! This episode is a special one, as I'm joined by my fellow content creator, artist and multi-faceted friend, Nompumelelo Lee Ndlovu.

When we speak of content creation, it's rare to hear people speak about how purpose based it is. In the age of social media and entertainment, it's easy to undermine the process of content creation because of how much content is out there. The idea of oversaturation can feel overwhelming - but one thing is for sure: The best content you can create, that people will gravitate towards, needs to be unapologetically YOU & surrounding the things you love. No matter what medium of content or art that you find yourself creating, the process always requires you to be vulnerable, honest and unbiased with yourself - in order to create the best content that you can. This phenomenon is not to be understated, as it involves all sections of you. The spiritual, emotion, physical and mental sections of yourself.

In this perspective, we were able to touch on the factors that arise when creating, how to deal with those moments (whether good or bad) and the overall meaning of really understanding why you've been given the gift to create. From both of our experiences, I know that the Genge will have a vast amount of gems to keep - as this conversation reaffirms, educates and inspires us to create art, from the heart!

Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U

This episode is centered around my trip to London and my experiences during my ten day stay. When you're able to travel and see the world, not only are you exposed to the new landscapes and activities around - you're also exposed to a different change of cultural and communicative climate.

It is in these moments that I was able to draw up comparisons between my time in London against my life, here in South Africa. In these differences, came a lot of appreciation for where I've come from and the path in which I am currently travelling in. It is an experience in which I wish, for each and everyone in the Genge!

Above all, I hope you have some gems to take from this fun-filled episode. May your October be a prosperous and beautiful month.

Today, I am joined by the talented artist, songwriter and record producer, Verge!

As we celebrate the release of his anticipated album, 'To Girls With Finesse', I had the lovely chance to sit down with Verge, to discuss the process of the creation of his album and the lessons he learned during the journey.

In this essence, it is critical to note that his artistry is a blend of lyrical prowess that syncs with his knack for infectious hooks and gorgeous melodies. In this album, his growth as a top tier artist takes center stage, as his presence commands your full attention through his music.

We also had a chance to expand more beyond the artistry of Verge, and delve into the influences and environments around him, that helped shape the sound he has built and the artistry that is taking him to the forefront of the industry. This is a conversation that celebrates artistry and the requirements it takes, to make a beautiful and honest body of work.

Please make sure to stream Verge's latest offering, 'To Girls With Finesse', on all music platforms, now!

This is the first instalment from the Nike Well Series - in Newtown, Johannesburg, in which I conducted a live podcasting conversation with phenomenal athletes and trailblazers who are pushing the envelope forward when it comes to the world of health, fitness and wellbeing. This was the first of its kind and I am excited to share this, with you.

Today's guest is the Founder of Nuru House - Tiffany Lekuku. It is such an honor to have her join me as we delve into the history of her life and the factors that helped her on this journey of wellbeing and starting Nuru House.

I hope this episode carries gems that you can incorporate into your everyday life. May this episode encourage you into doing your best for your wellbeing. Health is wealth, and there is NEVER enough wealth. So, let's get well.

Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U

There comes a time where one has to just sit and acknowledge what's going around them and within them. This episode, is that very process, for me.

It's so easy to get caught in all the formalities and responsibilities that a day can have - and to repeat that formula, every day, can cause you to forget to sit and reflect. To take things in and just speak about whatever's within one's heart.

This is my diary entry, in which I speak freely, about what's within my mind, without any plans or scripts. Just me, talking and having a conversation, with the Genge!

One of the most beautiful things about love is knowing when you're being loved, in full capacity. It is this very feeling, that is a part of the best things you could ever experience, in life. To know, that someone loves you and chooses you with everything they have? Magical. You could even call it poetic, if you want to liken it to that level.

But, what happens when you're in a situation or relationship where you can feel that the love just is not enough? Is it fair to stay, in the name of struggle love, to hopefully get what you deserve? Or, maybe it's just a situation where you're banking on potential? All of these are situations we all have been through. You can feel your person of interest having a liking towards you, but it's not enough to build on. You don't feel your person giving their all, into what you two are hoping to achieve.

And, this is what this episode is about! Join Solami and I, as we speak about this phenomenon of navigating situations or relationships where you're not getting enough of what you deserve and how to deal with that. We have some lovely pointers, in which we hope, you keep as you're finding your special person!
