Sho, Genge!
Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U.
This episode is brought to you by Creme of Nature. Today, I am joined by my amazing guests, Katlego Tefu and Siyamthanda Ndube.
Listening back to 'Don't Touch My Hair' by Solange & Sampha, it is clear to see that; for a lot of us (black women), the phenomenon of our hair is more than just the style we choose and the appearance of it. It is more of a totem of representation, for us. An extension of our personality and the fabrics of our roots. These are some of the ground foundations of what makes this episode a very urgent one. An episode where I, along with my guests can sit down and trade stories about our respective journeys, finding what works best for our hair and what styles represent us - in our own tastes and experiences.It is in these stories that we discover the importance of nurturing your hair, no matter what the style of choice is. The only solution to ensure the perfect results, is Creme of Nature and I cannot recommend this product ENOUGH, for all of your hair care needs. It is imperative, that we look after our hair and take pride in it & the true start to such an incredulous and life long journey, starts with what 'food' that you feed your hair with. I suggest you feed your hair with the finest that nature has to offer. The true creme of your hair needs, Creme of Nature!

Continuing on our segment of the journey of being a PCOS girlie, I am delighted to welcome my guest for today's episode, Refilwe Mohlala.
Refilwe Mohlala is a Marketing Communications student, with a growing interest in how consumer neuroscience, emotional brand storytelling intersect and how our brains shape how we connnect with brands.
She currently serves as vice president of her institution’s SRC, advocating for student wellbeing, and where she is known for her sharp thinking and consistency.
This episode marks her first step in publicly speaking sharing her journey with PCOS and insulin resistance; an experience that has shaped how she sees her body, her voice, and her purpose.
She hopes a story opens for more honest conversations and reminds others that they’re not alone.

Sho, Genge!Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U!I am joined by my friend and fellow podcaster, Zama Mkhize!Today's episode is one that is very near and dear to our hearts. It explores the experience of girlhood in an African household.Join us, as we get candid about our experiences in our individual childhood journeys. It is a needed conversation amongst us as women, as our future and who we are (as people) are all determined by the values and rules instilled in us, by our parents and households that we grew up in.Zama and I unpack the different rules and methods of parenting that we experienced and what we've appreciated about those teachings and the thing we would change. In this, we also find common ground in the conversations around how we would've preferred some methods of parenting to be done and reflecting on certain key moments with a lot of laughter and gems to keep from our experiences!

Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U.
In this episode, I made the effort to double down on the previous episode, that I had with my friend, Khanya. It was of a serious urgency to re-explore the topic of dating, as a Christian woman. With the growth and wisdom that I've gained since the last time I spoke about matters in this regard, it was only right to open the table of conversation and share my thoughts with you, as the Genge.
You see, in the scope that I've chosen to understand this phenomenon, I've come to the realization that the hunt to find someone who values the morals and ideologies that I stand for, as a Christian woman will always be hard - especially because we're in a world where everyone has a difference in backgrounds and religious views, but that's the moment where one needs to be assured of what God's plan is for their life, in terms of finding a partner.
I wanted to use this time to share where my headspace is at, by comparing my thoughts from the past and where my mind fixates in this current moment. From expectations that I would anticipate from an ideal partner to the differences we could face and the deal breakers. All faucets of these fall under the guide of my path in my spirituality and my walk with God.
I hope you can find some gems that you can store for your own path in life, as you discover what your ideal partner is, that not only fills you up in the physical, mental and emotional aspect but in the spiritual aspect too!

Welcome back to ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U
In today's episode, I am joined by my friend and fellow podcast creative, Khanya Mosetlhi.
This week's episode is based around the concept of time and the fulfilment of your dreams and aspirations. It's quite a daunting task to assure yourself that things will fall into place, within due time. It's essentially difficult to regain your mindset when you've actively dreamed about certain things that you've wanted to accomplish in a set period of time.
Most times, as humans, the result of these moments can build discouragement, disappointment and the loss of faith and trust in the process and within what God has for us. Khanya and I get to unpack all the factors around this phenomenon through a beautiful conversation packed with gems and laughs about our personal experiences and the people we've met along the way.

Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U
Today's episode is all about the aspects of shame and regret. There is not a person, in life, that has not felt the ripple effects of what shame and regret can do.
Even though we can try to forgive ourselves for the things we've done in the past (whether we knew better or not) we always have those fleeting moments of introspection where we become hard on ourselves for the mistakes we've made. For most, it grows into a bigger problem where it begins to hinder you from obtaining the future you truly deserve.
This episode goes into the psyche of the mind, regarding this phenomenon and how I have navigated through such situations, as I grow older. I hope these experiences and lessons can help you in shaking the habits of letting shame or regret have a say in how your future should be.
We all are constantly learning and evolving. In that same process, it is inevitable to make mistakes. All we need to do is find our ways to silence those voices in our heads, of course; with the guidance of our Lord in all times!

Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U!
This episode, I am joined by my amazing friend, Dennis Ngango.
Most of you may know him for his groundbreaking work through DEFINING Media, who have been responsible of some of Africa's most celebrated content output, throughout YouTube and media abroad.
Through this success and experience gained, it is a special point to note and reflect on the faith aspect of the success stories that are attached to Dennis and his accomplishments.
Having him as a guest, opened up conversation for us to talk about the work of trusting in God throughout all seasons in your life. Whether good or bad times, it's about having unwavering faith in the promise that God has for you.
We dug deep in this episode to both share aspects from both of our lives, which has impacted our relationships with God. Through the work and personal aspect, we have culminated an episode that I know you will love!

Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U
This episode felt like a point in recent time where I finally had the opportunity to speak on matters of the heart. Observing where I've come from and also where I'm going.
There are certain things and behavioral patterns that once were a part of my itinerary that I don't carry anymore. Certain habits that I would use for different aspects of my life are now far away from my reach, as I record this episode for you, today. This is all in unison with the frontal lobe development phase that has happened in my life.
For everyone, their times of development are different, but it all moves the same. We are so afraid of change that we are blinded by the nature of life and the inevitability of change. It needs to happen, for us to get better. It needs to happen, for us to grow. Ultimately, it needs to happen, for us to properly receive the blessings due to us, in the near future.

Today, I am joined by the CEO of Smile Foundation, Tarri Parfitt.
Smile Foundation is a South African non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive healthcare for children and families affected by facial conditions and burns. For over 25 years, we have transformed the lives of more than 5,000 children and their families.
In partnership with 15 academic hospitals across South Africa, Smile Foundation are committed to restoring smiles by providing life-changing facial reconstructive surgeries and treatments to children in underserved communities.
This conversation is one that I am honored to have, as we shed some light on the experiences that Smile Foundation has been a part of, being a NPO that is super committed to giving children, who are affected with a facial disability, the help they need in order to live a life worth a million smiles!

Welcome back to ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U
Preparing for the promise is something that we all have to do. If we are fully transparent with ourselves and each other, this is a concept and practice that is hard to do. In a world where mistakes are a guarantee and experiences either grow or break us - the first thing we always hope for is instant solutions. When we pray to God, we expect instant answers and blessings as well.
But, what do we do and how do we move when our requests are delayed or denied for a better plan that God has for us? How do we remind ourselves to be firm in the faith and move with confidence? The confidence that God has and will never forsake us?
Join me as I open up about preparing for the promise. The promise that God will change our lives for the better. Beyond our wildest dreams. This episode is dear to me, as it speaks to a season in my life where a lot of learning and adapting had to be done. I hope there are gems for you to take, as you continue building your spirituality and relationship with the Lord!
Everything will be yours, in due time. God will make it happen.

Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl Sis G.U
Yes, Genge.
It is that time again where I am joined by my best friend, my ride or die, my sister! I am joined by the incredible Nosi Nyatsumba.
This is just those episodes where we check in and chat. No format, no structures. Just a genuine and fruitful conversation between two sisters who have a lot to share and catch up on.
Sho, Genge! Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U. Journey with me, as I open up about PCOS and the experiences I've gone through, since being diagnosed with this syndrome. This is an episode that needed a deeper level of vulnerability to share, but I trust that the words that I have to share will impact someone, within the Genge and beyond, to not fear this syndrome but to embrace it & follow the procedures needed, in order to live your best life with it. Let this episode also be a reminder that we aren't defined by what we have but who we are within and the people we aspire to be. Let this be a reminder that God will always be there for you, no matter what situations are in front of you. Nothing is ever too big for God to solve for you!

You know the feeling when two great friends finally see each other after a very long time? That feeling is what sums up the vibe and feel of today's episode. I am joined by my dear friend, Nathi Fani.
Fasting is a concept often spoken about within the forms of spirituality. In the same nature, it is still a practice that is hard to master/apply in one's life. We always think about the most basic definition of fasting - but in this episode, Nathi & I really dig in deep into this incredible and life changing experience of fasting & prayer through the experiences and lessons that we're going through/went through.
I invite each and everyone of the Genge to lend an ear to this episode. Whether you're familiar with fasting or not, I definitely guarantee that there are beautiful gems to take from this episode, to help you grow your connection and relationship with the Lord!

First and foremost, compliments of the new year to the Genge. May God bless your year in ways that you cannot imagine. May everything you invest your time into, bring forth results of success and prosperity.
In this episode, I am joined by my sound engineer & music producer, VINO.
The idea, or theory of 'Closing the Door' can mean a plethora of things, depending on where your life is and what you want to change. For me, it really is centered around embracing this new chapter of life that I've stepped into. I reflect, very candidly about my experiences in 2024 and the lessons I've learned.
What makes this episode really special, is that there was no preconceived idea of how the conversation will go. It was a much needed conversation in which there are gems shared from myself and VINO, which I am sure that the Genge can incorporate into 2025.
Allow yourself to step into the new year with a free spirit, letting go of the baggage of the previous year. In order to receive new blessings, you need to first make space. Get rid of what's hindering you. Be honest with yourself on what you want to change and pray to God, to anoint your journey. This year is all about being the best you that you can be!
Sho, Genge!
Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U.
Yes, Genge! This episode is a special one, as I'm joined by my fellow content creator, artist and multi-faceted friend, Nompumelelo Lee Ndlovu.
When we speak of content creation, it's rare to hear people speak about how purpose based it is. In the age of social media and entertainment, it's easy to undermine the process of content creation because of how much content is out there. The idea of oversaturation can feel overwhelming - but one thing is for sure: The best content you can create, that people will gravitate towards, needs to be unapologetically YOU & surrounding the things you love. No matter what medium of content or art that you find yourself creating, the process always requires you to be vulnerable, honest and unbiased with yourself - in order to create the best content that you can. This phenomenon is not to be understated, as it involves all sections of you. The spiritual, emotion, physical and mental sections of yourself.
In this perspective, we were able to touch on the factors that arise when creating, how to deal with those moments (whether good or bad) and the overall meaning of really understanding why you've been given the gift to create. From both of our experiences, I know that the Genge will have a vast amount of gems to keep - as this conversation reaffirms, educates and inspires us to create art, from the heart!
