In this conversation, Nokuhle discusses her confidence in achieving her goals and the support she received from her father.
She also talks about the challenges she faced as a Black woman in corporate South Africa and the need to constantly prove herself, sharing her experiences of code-switching and the importance of language and cultural identity.
Nokuhle introduces her book, ‘Get Ready With Me Work Edition,’ which serves as a survival guide for young professionals in the workplace.
Nokuhle shares her experience of self-publishing, including the challenges of finding a printer and obtaining a barcode (who would have guessed!). Despite not actively marketing her book, she has had success in sales and has even had bulk sales from corporate clients. Nokuhle also reveals her plans to write a second book aimed at high school students.
