In this episode, we dive into how vision boarding can unlock real career clarity—not just big dreams, but practical direction you can actually act on. I’m joined by Gracious Nyamupachitu, Pinterest’s first Marketing Strategy & Operations Manager and the founder of VisionaryMe, who breaks down how to turn goals into a life strategy using vision boards. Drawing on her journey from corporate banking to global tech, she shares how clarity, intention, and action work together to shape career moves that actually stick. We talk about using vision boards to cut through overwhelm, align your decisions, and stay focused in seasons of uncertainty. If you’re feeling stuck, scattered, or ready for your next chapter, this episode is for you.

On this episode, I speak to my mother, Dr. Rosemary Kobue-Lekalake, about her experiences moving to America back in the early '80s and again in the early '90s. We also delve into how she managed the guilt that often riddles mothers that work full-time.

On this episode, I speak to Sonali Karmarkar about how she’s managed to start and grow a creative business while working full time as a Community Partner Manager at Youtube. Sonali is based in New York where she supports Youtube’s creator community by day, and grows her handpainted hair accessory brand, Soieli, by night.

I chat with Angela Guido, founder of Career Protocol, author of two books: “Interview Hero” and “How to Network Without Feeling Like an A‑Hole”. The topic on the table on this episode is  how to find your voice and ace your job Interviews. 

We're back! And, on this first episode of the second season of Career Queens, I’m so excited to be chatting with digital entrepreneur, Adanna Steinacker, about personal branding and leading your career authentically.

My guest on this episode, McKenna Sweazey, is the VP of Marketing at a Silicon Valley based startup called Truthset. Prior to this role, she was based in London where she led a team regional Marketing managers at the Financial Times. Over the course of her career, she has formed important relationships with people willing to connect her with great opportunities and help her navigate challenging situations. 

On this episode, Sopé Ogunrombi, an MBA Candidate at London Business School, shares how she went about her business school applications — from school selection, to writing the GMAT and her essays. This is for anyone who is considering pursuing an MBA, and would like more information about the degree.

On this episode, I'm leaving the tech world for a bit! In it, I speak to Ziyanda Khumalo, an investment banker, about her career change, from marketing in fast moving consumer goods (fmcg)  to finance and investment banking.

Career Queens Podcast is a show that spotlights millennial women in tech, and women in business that are using technology to grow their businesses. Conversations range from navigating a career change or salary negotiation, to starting and running a side hustle. 

On this episode I speak to Julie Vandingenen, a Senior Sales Consultant at Google. Julie is also the founder of Lovingly Box, a passion project and business that sells care packages with an aim to support loved ones going through difficult situations. These include break ups, illness, depression and bereavement.

Julie was inspired to start this business, in 2017, after she lost her fiancé to cancer. Julie composes Lovingly Box to contain some of the items that made her days a little easier, a little more bright, and a little less lonely.

Initially, I’d intended for this episode to be all about starting a side hustle while working full time. After all, Julie started her business and has been running it while excelling in a demanding role at Google. And while this episode is a must-listen for anyone with passion project ideas, it’s also relevant for anyone in hearing about building resilience through challenging seasons and finding purpose through pain.
