On this week’s episode of Because We Said So, we’re getting into another round of dilemmas, and our bwssties definitely gave us a lot to unpack!
We also have another Pop Culture Rewind, where we chat about the latest season of Married at First Sight South Africa, Plus, we’re talking all things Basadi in Music Awards 5th Edition, celebrating women in the entertainment industry, from the awards and categories to some of our favourite looks.

In this episode of Because We Said So, we sit down with actress, presenter, entrepreneur and one of Africa’s most influential digital creators, Amanda Du-Pont, for an honest conversation about the pressure to be excellent as Black women.
From building a career in entertainment to pivoting into business and entrepreneurship, we unpack the pressures that come with success, reinvention, and redefining what excellence looks like for ourselves.

As we step into Women’s Month, we’re unpacking what it really means to be a woman. From the expectations we grew up with to redefining strength, softness, success, and self-worth on our own terms, we’re reflecting on the lessons that have shaped us, while also partnering with Kotex to continue an important conversation around periods and breaking the stigma through the “Say It Out”movement. Because womanhood includes every part of the journey, and no conversation should be off limits. 

We also kick off the episode with our Pop Culture Rewind, where we share our thoughts on Tyla’s new album, Nonhle’s viral 947 interview and reflect on this year’s Glamour’s Most Glamorous Awards.
