We Three Queens of Africa

In this episode we meet Nkatha, a young film critic. We talk about all things film, how she got started and what it means to be a film critic. This sub sector is so biased, we discover, with few Africans and few women.

Africans are often cited as not believing in therapy. Well - that was the past. This episode goes into the importance of therapy as well as other ways to practice a lifestyle that places mindfulness and wellness at the centre.

Who pays for what in relationships? There's a term that is used in many countries : "sugar daddy", "blessor" or "anointer"..This is the man that pays for a woman's upkeep that may or may not be her full time boyfriend.

Should couples just go dutch on all things? Can the woman pay for anything? Things that make you go hmm...

Do you borrow money from friends? Lend money? It's tricky....

Friendships are so important and we cherish them immensely. A good friend is hard to find, we say, adapting a well known saying. However, do we sometimes hang on to our friendships for a bit too long, even after things have gone sour? Perhaps a friend is no longer a friend for reasons that you just don't understand, but you realise you must move on. Is there a time at which we must say 'ciao' to our friendships? Or perhaps they just fizzle out. And when that happens, we may feel emotional and have to perhaps find a way to 'grieve' the end of a friendship

We talk about why people strive to be 'perfect', especially at work. Nobody is perfect and trying to be can take it's toll. We recommend embracing our unique imperfections. 

You will definitely be tickled with our dating in foreign countries, exploration of foreign foods and airport / passport issues! Travel can be so thrilling but it is not without it's tricky moments! From Europe to West Africa, we keep discovering and learning!

Here we talk about our take on the importance of being vulnerable as a leader. We touch on why it seems difficult for men in particular to be vulnerable. For women, the 'she village' is a safe space that we should nurture if we don't have one already. This has worked for us in work and in life - that tribe of sisters with whom we can share, laugh and cry. Yet, even for women who do have a safe shoulder to cry on, it seems difficult to be vulnerable in the work place. Why is this. Why can't we say 'no I am not ok'. How have the covid 19 pandemic affected our ability to be vulnerable?

Another in-between-the-lines career conversation.

Dare to be vulnerable?

Some office culture is all about the water cooler - that's where all the scoop is at.

Others go out for coffee and get all their business done there.

In many countries the morning greetings are more than just 'hey'....

What do you all do? Happy Hour Fridays? Birthday Drinks? Pizza Fridays? 

Where does all this go in a covid and hopefully post-covid world? We talk about this....

From the shimmy-shimmy of the Trini Carnaval to lone blissful holidays in Zanzibar, our bucket lists keep giving. What's on yours?
