About Christine
Chichi Christine Kere is an established Careerpreneur and a Coach Consultant with a facilitative strategic approach built from working with leaders in industry and in business across industry sectors including management consulting, telecommunications, education and training, hospitality, and property development. Christine worked in Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and South Africa where, because of language barriers, she developed a leader development communication process that enabled employees and students she worked with to grasp their asset value to effectively execute their roles while contributing to their work and life. This led her to establish a social enterprise,Coaching Mentoring Education Africa (CMEA) that focuses on leader development across learning and education divides. She still runs her established consulting company, Watershed Global Institute out of Johannesburg while pursuing academic research and writing for entrepreneurial development as a career.

In 2020, she made a career change after more than 20 years in the Higher Education sector, to establish Dr Phumzile Mmope Communications – a 100% black female-owned and managed leadership communication and integrated communications consultancy. Dr Mmope cares about the necessity for leaders who build workplaces where people and organisations succeed. Through tailored coaching, support, and practical solutions, she helps leaders and businesses identify and target specific communication pain points that impact effectiveness, productivity, and performance.
About Nastassja
Nastassja Wessels is a Brand Specialist by profession but considers herself a cultural professional in the making. She completed her Master’s in culture studies (cum laude) with a focus on global communication, at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. Her thesis, #FeesMustFall: Discourse hidden in plain sight, highlights various aspects of the social processes at play in South African society – from digital culture to decolonisation of education in South Africa. Her focus on workplace culture was inspired by Prof Anita Bosch who took an interest in her published papers and resulting reflections about the intersections of organisational culture and the external social processes that influence the personal well-being of individuals, especially Black women.

We should be given every opportunity. And that is what we should be teaching these young girls: to take up space. Nothing is as important as taking up space in society and cementing yourself.
