On Saturday 7 June, the walls of Bertha House pulsed with hope, healing, and honesty as ‘Women Talk with Liqhame’ unfolded into an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by VuLi Media, the event brought together women from all walks of life to engage in raw, real, and relevant dialogue about ”becoming”, personally, financially, and emotionally.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Centred around the theme “Becoming Her,” the conversation focused on mindset transformation, financial literacy, and the journey of stepping into the woman one was always meant to be.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The most powerful takeaway for me was realising that becoming the woman I want to be is not a distant dream, but a decision I can make daily,” said Thandeka Kulati, one of those attending. “The conversations gave me clarity and courage to start showing up for myself.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many, the event was not just a talk, it was a mirror. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nombulelo Sinani shared how she saw herself in the speakers’ journeys. “One speaker spoke about feeling stuck in a fixed mindset. I’ve been there. Hearing how she shifted her thinking inspired me to believe that growth is possible for me too.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading the dialogue was Liqhame Rasmeni, whose own story set the tone for vulnerability and courage. “To stand in front of women and share parts of my story, some of which I’ve never voiced publicly, was a healing experience,” she said. “It reminded me of the strength in vulnerability.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panelist Priscilla Kohli emphasised that healing starts with self-belief. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I hoped they’d walk away knowing they are not alone, and that growth begins with a decision to believe in yourself. Your story matters, and you can rewrite the ending,” said Kohli.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babalwa Jama added that spaces like this are vital for communal healing. “Platforms like Liqhame create safe spaces where women are seen, heard, and empowered. These conversations ripple outwards, to families, workplaces, and entire communities.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to VuLi Media House, the vision behind this edition was to tackle the core areas where women often feel stuck, mindset and money. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We wanted to speak to the process of becoming. Pairing that with financial literacy and mindset was intentional because those are areas where real transformation begins.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges of coordinating speakers and managing limited resources, the organisers say the results made it all worth it. “When a woman walks away feeling seen, empowered, and ready to take the next step in her journey, that’s our definition of success.” And the journey doesn’t stop here.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re growing this into a movement,” the team shared. “Future editions will feature deeper conversations, mentorship opportunities, expert collaborations, and broader outreach, especially to women in underserved communities.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked how the community can support, the answer was simple: Show up. Whether by attending, volunteering, sharing stories, or simply spreading the word, every voice matters.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the curtains closed at Bertha House<\/a> on that crisp winter afternoon, one thing was clear, Women Talk with Liqhame is not just an event. It’s a catalyst. And for many women, it was the beginning of becoming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
