EP 53 - Conversation with Babalwa Fatyi - Leader & Poet, taking care of your soul while taking care of your business

Leadership Live

Babalwa Fatyi is a sustainability expert, who is a founder and Managing Director at Myezo Environmental Management Services. Babalwa has a fascinating story from modest beginnings growing up in a rural village, she always felt at one with her surroundings and her passion for science and sustainability led her to found a business that focuses on this. She’s also an author and poet. She shares her story of growing up where women were at the center of leadership – leading the home, the community, and the farms and coming to work and all of a sudden having a different experience where women in organizations need to be empowered. This took her by surprise since we don’t need to empower women, we need to remind them of their power. Stay tuned for an inspiring episode and a surprise at the end of the episode where she shares one of her poems with us that’s all about women’s strength and power.
