Kana female entrepreneurs, re bona dilo. I was just thinking to myself, kana 11 years ago a guy looked at my face and told me, “you are too ambitious as a woman “ let me tell you all about it...

So I had been in the industry for a while, had a few successes believed I earned my stripes. My network ran wide and far and I had worked with most people in the industry. Nwa tee it’s just the beginning.

I had decided that what I was doing was not aligned to my passion so I started speaking to my “network” sharing my vision asking for advise and seeing gore nka dira eng, le mang ko kae...

So this dude says to me listen, while o santse o ikakanya come meet my business partner gongwe re ka dira sengwe mogolo. Ok, moghel thinks, that’s the kinda things I like to hear.

We schedule a meeting, Nna ke tsaa gore there is a clear understanding ya gore equal plane conversations would happen, he he he kgoba o reetse,

So I go to the meeting, kante, Kgata thu le interview, uhu? Ok. I play along, should have walked out to be honest.

“Partner” ke ha a Mpotsa gore a ke ka dira tea! TEA? A o raa lekhwaza he? Ija! I stayed civil, and said to him well if I’m making myself tea and ask for a cup I would mind, but since gare at home at my level I doubt ke selo se

nka se rumiwang mo tirong. Highly offended the dude says, do you consider, yourself to have a chip on your shoulder?

I answered nope, I don’t have a chip, I understand my value and I recognize when someone is patronizing me.

The Mr ke ha a tshega, are Sethebe, you are too ambitious for a woman. You need to come down if you are going to make it in life.

To this day ga ke kopana le ene, ke mmotsa gore e tsamaya hakae ambition. FYI this was after I was CEO ya Letlole La Rona!
