Influence Through Storytelling with Monde Twala

In this inspiring episode of Future Readiness with Za, I am in conversation with Monde Twala, a global media influencer and Senior Vice President at Paramount Africa & BET International Lead. Monde reflects on his upbringing in Soweto, crediting his grandparents and the community for instilling values of respect, learning, and storytelling. His early fascination with cinema, along with his social sciences studies, ignited his passion for responsible representation in media, with a focus on gender, race, and minority experiences. Monde emphasizes the power of the African creative economy and the potential of young Africans to lead global storytelling. He discusses the need for authenticity, excellence, and investment in Africa’s creative industries, and calls for government support through legislation. Monde also highlights the rise of user-generated content and niche communities, while stressing the importance of showcasing Africa's diversity and culture on the world stage. Tune in for a conversation filled with wisdom on leadership, creativity, and the future of African storytelling.

Balancing Psychology and Spirituality with Pearl Proud

Our guest on #FutureReadinesswithZa is South African-born and Australian-based Pearl Proud. She is a distinguished executive with a robust Psychology, Strategic Leadership, and Organizational Development background. As a proud member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD), she exemplifies dedication to corporate excellence and ethical practices. Throughout her extensive career, Pearl has held key leadership positions across diverse industries, where she has driven transformative initiatives and steered companies in their DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) and psychologically safety sustainability. She joins me on the podcast and we dive into her different interests and how her personal and professional journeys have unfurled thus far. We speak on her spirituality and how she balances this gift with the practicalities of being a Psychologist. We also talk about the challenges of being the only one in a room, the only Black or Person of Colour and the confidence required to thrive in spaces where one might not be seen or heard. She invites us to understand how to self-define, to balance duality and thrive in spaces known and unknown. Pearl’s story is as unique as she is and is rich with wisdom.
