Khensani Nobanda, Group Executive: Marketing and Corporate affairs at Nedbank as well as the Deputy Chairperson at the Nedbank Foundation.

Khensi is all about purposeful marketing. She shares ways in which she uses her role to pull up other women in corporate South Africa. What struck me most about her, were her views on normalising conversations around remuneration amongst peers. To say she is a breath of fresh air is a serious understatement. She is vibrant, powerful, intentional and is changing the marketing world, one campaign at a time.

On this episode, I'm joined by David aka Slaying Goliath. He is a highly sort after illustrator having recently partnered with brands such as Netflix, Audi, Yogi Sip, Mr Price, Manhattan Rooibis tea to name a few. I was particularly inspired by his courageous illustrations which boldly articulate the world around us. He has a profound respect for those who boldly critic his work. This is a fantastic conversation between two creatives.

On this episode, Mapula Bodibe shares how she braves a male-dominated industry.
