CEO | Diversity & Inclusions Specialist | Professional Speaker | Facilitator | Attorney. I am passionate about nation building! It is my strong belief that now, more urgently than ever, do we, as a nation, need to begin the dialogue around that which we THINK divides us: our diversity.

Why? It is my belief that our inherited perceptions on the South African social context serve only to entrench the belief that the diversity in South Africa is that which makes us weaker. As a result, issues related to diversity (equality, affirmative action, B-BBEE, race and gender, to name a few) cause fractions and fault lines in our social fabric. At a time in our young democracy that requires unity, we stumble at the starting blocks, and all because we, as South Africans, do not understand one another.

As such, it is of great importance that we begin a national discussion around diversity. That we may breathe new life and positivity into a previously "taboo" and uncomfortable topic. It is my unyielding belief that it is our diversity that makes us strong and, consequently, my passion to open up the communication channels for such message to be disseminated. #StrengthInDiversity
