This is the fifth episode for the Podcast "Conversations with Chauke"  with the host Paballo Chauke and the title of this episode is "Living a purpose driven life: Rising from the ashes, healing and thriving in a time of turmoil and owning your narrative". We had a great conversation with the phenomenal, highly educated, well seasoned leader Noxolo Ntaka (Senior Researcher).  We discussed a multitude of issues including finding your purpose, fluidity of identity, strong black women, healing from grief, forgiveness and achieving success at a young.  We got to know about her shift in priorities and reckoning with her dreams and changing trajectories to living a much more fulfilled and change driven career that impacts the African continent.
