    In today's pod-episode I had a conversation with Khanyisile Kgoadi, to uncover her journey in Science.  She is one of the women currently reshaping the narrative of women in the STEM field.  She is an award-winning woman scientist, recognized by Mail & Guardian as one of the top 200 Young South Africans in 2018 and by WISA in 2015. She's a PhD student in Clinical Science & Immunology at the UCT. As a girl who grew up in Soweto, one of her dreams was to find a cure for HIV.

    In our conversation today she shared things she had to sacrifice, some of her toughest times and some rewarding moments in choosing this route. She also highlighted the importance of grooming the next generation of scientists that are going to bring in solutions to African problems.

    Her passion and love for people stand out without a doubt.

    In today's pod-episode I had a conversation with Wanga Hanyani, who we got to know through Thato Mavuso from the previous episode on PCOS. The work that Wanga does for women out there  is phenomenal.

    In today's podcast, we spoke about her transition to veganism (a plant based diet) and how that opened her to a whole new world about health and wellness as a woman.

  • S02. Ep04. On The Journey with fertility & PCOS with Thato Mavuso

    In today's pod-episode I had a coversation with Thato Mavuso about her fertility journey with PCOS. Thato runs a YouTube channel (Vegan Makoti) where she openly shares her journey with PCOS and her transition to veganism. This conversation was so enlightening, inspiring and motivating. As women our journeys to motherhood are very different and this episode highlights one of the other journeys to motherhood. I have come to learn so much from other women about how their journeys to motherhood looked like and learning to also honor and respect each one of them. This platform seeks to bring out these conversations for more awareness and hopefully to shed light and hope to other women.

    I do hope you learn a thing or two from this episode.
