E063 Sibusisiwe Myeni - #WisdomPersonified - conversations with Dudu Msomi

At the core, the idea of #purpose is the idea that what we do matters to people other than ourselves says Angela Duckworth.
In the work that Sibusisiwe Myeni does as the co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Imbeleko #Foundation, she does exactly that which is a far cry from what she qualified to with a B. Com in statistical Science and Financial Accounting. Sibu is a #banker turned Social #Entrepreneur and Rural Child Education Activist. A 2010 Gauteng Businesswomen Association Business Woman of the Year, a2015 Vital Voices GAP Alum, a 2016 VV100 Fellow, a 2016 Eisenhower Fellow, an Aspen Institute 2017 Socrates Fellow, a 2018 Opportunity Collaboration Cordes Fellow and a #TEDx Speaker.

I usually say that I get the sense that we are on this Earth for our Souls to experience and grow. Thegrowth comes from our relationships with each other. Understanding that we are connected even when we do not share blood lines. But I also say, if it does not come naturally for you to help other people in this life, at least do not hurt them.

I have a feeling Sibu has found a winning combination of helping and healing hurts that life can inflict in her rural and impoverished community.

Hope you are inspired to do more than you think you can, to seek out and to help fellow humans to live a life of #love and dignity.
Until next time, when I have another conversation with a wise and inspirational individual.
