What do you love most about radio?
What I love the most about radio is its power to connect audiences from all corners in the most intimate way, in a state of disaster it brings calm and comfort. Its ability to entertain and educate simultaneously and really make the listener feel like they are a part of a community. The influence it has and the way it has managed to shape thoughts, beliefs and reflect our society. And also, how it has the ability to give a voice to the voiceless and bring people together especially in a country as diverse as South Africa.
How long have you been on Radio?
I have been doing radio for 11 years now. I first started at Voice of Wits, and then moved onto one of the biggest regional stations based in Joburg (947) for 7 years while presenting weekend shows and working on digital campaigns across 4 stations. And now, I’m on 5FM.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I’ve always loved getting lost in books. I’ve been a collector pretty much all my life, and now particularly enjoy literature from female African writers. I run and play sports, collect wine, hike on weekends and also an avid series binge-watcher (who isn’t, these days?). I’m also quite the plant mom and enjoy taking care of my indoor and outdoor babies who have brought me so much joy particularly during the pandemic.
What knowledge do you love imparting onto your listeners?
Love imparting my knowledge of music, my passion for wellness, both physical and mental, astrology, pop culture, and my experiences as a young South African woman.
What daily motivation do you believe contributes to your success over the airwaves daily?
My intention is to be my truest, most authentic self. Everyday. I think people can relate to my open-mindedness, my curiosity to understand things and the ability to have fun and not take myself too seriously.
What has been your favourite moment on Radio, any campaign you can share and why did you love it so much, what did you enjoy most about working with said brand?
I’ve been particularly enjoying my feature 5ToFit, which is my fitness journey that I have decided to share with my listeners, getting experts on to discuss physical and mental wellness and how getting fit is more than just about weight loss, but being well mentally, physically and emotionally. Audiences on social media and on air have shared their tips and journeys too, which is such a sweet reminder that we all can use a little motivation from those around us to get up, and get healthy while having the most epic time out there!
