What happens when a woman dares to step into a world dominated by men? Asnath Mahapa, South Africa’s first Black female commercial pilot, has lived her life defying expectations and shattering stereotypes.
In this powerful episode, she opens up about the relentless obstacles she’s faced – from sexism and racism to crippling self-doubt – and how she overcame them with resilience, grace and an unshakable belief in herself and her destiny. In honour of International Women’s Month, this episode celebrates Asnath’s remarkable achievements – not only the barriers she has broken barriers in aviation but the trail she has blazed for other women, making giant strides toward gender equality. We also take an honest look at the harsh realities of systemic bias and why the fight for true equality is far from over.
Whether you’re a woman or a man, if you’ve ever been told “you don’t belong,” this conversation is for you.
Asnath’s story will leave you inspired, fired up and ready to let the world feel the weight of your presence!
