Do you ask for a raise, know your worth, and let others know how valuable you are? Or do you often wait for someone to tell you what your worth is?
In this episode, Moky Makura talks about how women often undervalue their worth at work. She discusses why women choose to put themselves last and what you can do to start valuing yourself as much as you deserve.

Ipeleng Mkhari couldn’t believe her luck when she secured a bank loan of R100,000 to kick start her CCTV business when she was in her twenties. She was female, black and had no entrepreneurial experience whatsoever.  She thought she’d hit the jackpot.  But there was a twist - she had to pay the money back in just 30 days. Two decades later Ipeleng is the CEO of Motseng Investment Holdings, an investment holding company that owns properties, offers property services, and has a strategic investment arm with stakes in diverse businesses including engineering.
Ipeleng Mkhari’s story takes place against the backdrop of a South Africa awakening from its apartheid legacy.  From walking away from a white business who were using her as a front to secure projects, to handling sexual harassment from predatory men, Ipeleng’s story is one of hard work, focus and self-belief – it turns out that’s all she needed.  23 years of uninterrupted growth in business is worth a celebration. Find out how she made it.  Listen to her story here.

Monica Musonda walked away from a high-paying, in-house lawyer working for one of the continent’s wealthiest businessmen and walked straight into one of the most tumultuous but rewarding business ventures of her life.
At one point, nearly all of Zambia’s food was imported from other countries and she saw an opportunity to move into the food manufacturing business to address the problem! She gambled on the fact that Zambians would pay less for good quality, locally made food brands – and she was right.  Today she is the CEO and founder of Zambian based Java Foods which manufactures staple food products like noodles and cereals and has turned them into household brands in Southern Africa. 
Monica encountered a multitude of hurdles in her journey which were made worse by the fact she was a woman. She had to deal with sexist customers who couldn’t believe she was the brains behind the business and had to deal with feelings of ‘imposter syndrome’ as her empire grew.  But like any superwoman, Monica took things in her stride especially when she became a single mother – she simply travelled everywhere with her daughter. Monica is super smart, super sharp and is unstoppable.  Find out how she did it. Listen to Monica’s story here.
