Lerato tshabalala biography of christopher kennedy
Now, with her first book, she looks set to become the national institution she deserves to be.
Lerato Tshabalala is a talented South African actress and media personality who has been making waves in the entertainment industry.
With her customary wit and keen insight into social, political and cultural affairs, Lerato shines a bright- and controversial —light on South Africa society and the quirky ways of the country. She is brutally honest about her experiences as a black South African in post-apartheid Mzansi, and no subject is too sacred for her to explore: annoying car guards, white-dominated corporate South Africa, cultural stereotypes, economic and racial inequality, and gender politics, among many other topics, come under her careful- and often laugh-out-loud scrutiny.
The Way I see It is written for people who are hungry for the book that is thought-provoking, funny, irreverent and truly South African all at the same time. It is light but full of depth: like a supermodel with an MBA! The passages where she offers hypothetical dialogue between lovers, friends, bank employees and their debtors, are intriguing and entertaining.
She wittily and creatively tackles the impact of social media and how it has become almost impossible for people to live without Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. Talk Show style Vodcast where Lerato Tshabalala speaks to renowned thought leaders across industries, to reflect on what is happening in the now and how humanity can best navigate and pivot in this present moment in order to find peace in it and remain relevant.
A mama and feminist, she talks about getting back to our African culinary roots when preparing traditional food, the benefits of plant based food and tips on how businesses in the hospitality industry can survive this time in human history. What I experienced working with Sis Lerato was beyond work in a professional sense — it was humanity and ubuntu embodied in many ways that are unseen in modern society.
I write this reflection with great pride, joy, and hope to one day return her humbling gesture of relentless professionalism and graceful mentorship. I would recommend her for any opportunity crafted to engage meaning and value for all who are involved and influenced.
