Award-winning radio and TV host Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp launched her new podcast, Boardroom Besties — “a podcast about women who inspire us” — on August 3.
Coinciding with Women’s Month in SA, the podcast is meant to create a safe space for women by women to share ideas and empower one another.
“I’m launching this podcast to motivate women. I told myself what I would want my daughters to experience and who I’d want them to meet professionally. Those are the types of women I’m interviewing for the series.”
No stranger to podcasting, Elana has also owned, produced and presented SA’s number-one parenting podcast since 2016.
“Parent + Baby Brunch is all about helping parents. Now, in tandem with that, we can also help women at work with Boardroom Besties. With Boardroom Besties I want to motivate all women to be recognised and feel valuable.”
