Media personality and seasoned broadcaster Hulisani Ravele is easing back into the spotlight, doing things on her own terms.
In September 2023, she embarked on a sabbatical, hanging up her mic at Primedia’s 947, allowing herself for the first time in her 26-year career to take a break.
This Women’s Month, Ravele will make an appearance on Kaya 959’s Feel Good with Andy Maqondwana as guest host of the “Girl Let’s Talk” feature every Wednesday afternoon during August.
“As I enter this 27th year of my career, the time off has matured my sense of self and heightened my desire to continue doing work that has purpose, power and impact,” said Ravele.
“My sabbatical plunged me into a solitude that had me wrestling with many emotions. Fully accepting that this was my era of stillness and a time to just remember who I am, was an important hurdle for me to overcome,” she adds.
Ravele has partnered with Glade’s #InMyEra campaign, to spotlight and celebrate other women, no matter the era they are in.
“Society often highlights the CEOs, the movers, shakers and high achievers, but what about the everyday women who find themselves navigating new chapters, new eras, which are unique and important to their personal journey?
“We want to celebrate and honour everyday women from all walks of life this Women’s Month; the women who very well may have found themselves amongst the 20 000 who marched upon the Union Buildings in 1956,” Ravele said.
The #InMyEra campaign kicks off on Wednesday August 7, one special woman will be invited to the Kaya 959 studios every week throughout Women’s Month.
“I’m emerging from the stillness and what I coined my ‘Remember who you are’ era and I am now stepping into my ‘Now do you see?’ era; an era that will see me understanding, appreciating and enjoying the fruits of why the quiet season had to happen.”
