My Audio Journal by Pamela Mtanga

Hello, you!

This week's journal entry is a question: What if women turned their vulnerability into a superpower? To help me unpack this, I'm joined by an artist who has mastered turning her experiences into the music we all love, the incredible Shekhinah.

In this intimate chat, Shekhinah opens up about her creative process, explaining how music is her therapy and a mirror that often reflects how she truly feels about herself. We also get into a very real conversation about self-image, the ongoing journey of loving your body, and finding confidence when you don't...

Hello, you!

Ever wonder what it really takes to make it in the media industry? This week, I'm getting the answers from one of the hardest-working people I know, the incredible Zanele Potelwa.

Zanele graciously opens up her playbook, sharing the exact steps and mindset that took her from a university student with a different dream to a multi-platform media powerhouse. We break down her top 3 rules for effective networking, the importance of volunteering, and the story of how a single video asking for an interview helped change her career.

If you’re lo...

Hello, you!
In this entry, I'm kicking off my Women’s Month takeover in partnership with Brutal Fruit by taking a seat at The Pink Table: a celebration of sisterhood, softness, and women showing up as their most authentic selves.

I’m joined by Oyisa Matebese and Tebby Leburu for an intimate conversation unpacking what The Pink Table truly represents: the beauty of women gathering, the power of connection, and creating spaces where we feel seen, heard, and celebrated.

They also spoke about personal experiences and conversations women should be having. It’s an honest...

Hello, you! Welcome back to My Audio Journal.

In this entry, I’m switching things up with our very first Pitstop Edition. I pick up Boity Thulo in the sleek Omoda C9 and drive her to a meeting with Omoda, where she’s an official ambassador. Along the way, we chat about her journey from small-town beginnings to music stardom, her collaboration with rapper Roiii, and how she’s balancing business, brand partnerships, and personal growth.

This episode captures the candid energy of two friends on the move: laughs, insigh...

Hello, you!

Welcome back to my Audio Journal. In this entry, I'm thinking about one of the most special, and sometimes complicated things we navigate as we get older: friendship.

When we're young, friendships can feel effortless. But as life begins and we start building careers, finding love, and juggling new responsibilities, the dynamics change. The connections that once felt easy now require real intention, effort, and understanding. How do we show up for each other when we're all so busy trying to show up for ourselves?

This is a conversation I couldn't...

Hello, you! Welcome back to My Audio Journal.

In this entry, I’m taking it back to the beginning—those awkward, uncertain early career moments where every room feels unfamiliar and every opportunity feels just out of reach. But it’s in those exact moments that the groundwork for everything is laid.

I reflect on the things I did (and still do) that helped me build my career: staying late, introducing myself, saying yes to unglamorous tasks, and learning how to be valuable in any space I walk into. If you’re just starting out—or even re...

Hello, you!

Welcome back to my Audio Journal. 

In this entry, I want to talk about something many of us have a deep connection to: cars. Growing up, the ultimate symbol of success was a German car. Whether it was a GTI, a BMW, or a Merc, seeing one in the neighbourhood meant someone had truly 'made it.' It was a tangible representation of wealth and aspiration that was ingrained in us.

But how does that childhood dream hold up against our current economic reality? Today, I’m wrestling with this question. As...

Hello, you! Welcome to My Audio Journal.

Very rarely do I reflect on my journey, because I am more concerned about where I’m going rather than where I’ve been. However, I find that in order to appreciate my journey more, connect with people who care deeply about the work that I do, and never lose the hunger I have for my work, perhaps the origin story is just as significant to share.

With everything on social media being so picture-perfect, and the opportunities I am fortunate enough to s...

My Audio Journal is an honest and unconventional guide to being a well-rounded human.

Born from the reality that adulthood comes with no manual, the podcast explores the often-unspoken complexities of modern life through a lens that goes beyond what’s typically expected from a voice rooted in media and fashion.

Each episode creates space for curiosity, reflection, and conversation around themes like career, relationships, money, identity, and sport.

At its heart, My Audio Journal is personal, evolving, and unrestricted — because meaningful conversations can happen anywhere, at any time.
