If you can dream it you can live it..vision board coach Rebecca Kano

On Saturday, I was reminded of a Biblical scripture, "Where there is no vision, the people perish.

Listen, Rebecca talks

This is because, I had found myself in the vision workshop of Zimbabwean born public speaker, author and life coach, Rebecca Kano.

Vision Board

The Fourways based single mother of two, had all the attention of visionaries, strategist and 2019 year planners  eating in the palm of her hands. This as she explain the importance of having your dream in front of you with pictures and positive words that will help you get to where you want to be in life.

As a child, Kano's family lost everything when she was a child in Zimbabwe. She was later adopted by an American family where she also worked as an aupair. She came to South Africa just a few years ago, where she is starting a new chapter as a divorcee.

"Anyone who plays a role in society or at home, ie mom, dad, son and daughter. You are still an individual. You need to know who you are and who you becoming. Once you know your character and what you love doing then it is easier for you to fulfil the role of being CEO or leader in the society," said Kano to a group of mainly ladies who attended her workshop on Saturday.
She operate  the workshops through request from the public other times, cooperate invitation and family bookings.

"It is always wonderful to see people transform or see what they visioned actually come to pass. I've been using this method since 2011 in my life and started giving workshops full time in 2016.

Just like last Saturday, her class held in Fourways north of Johannesburg, South Africa was packed with women from all racial and different backgrounds. A stand up is planning to give a door to door  comedy service to his clients. The comedian  argues, with these economic times, people want to cut cost on going out. A Spanish woman recently moved to South Africa and is not social media savvy wants to connect with business minded people. She also teaches Spanish.

With the powerful music background music of American Icon singer Beyonce Knowles, "I was Here" song,  the group of women were encouraged to write down their goals in each of the the following categories, Relationships, Health and Wellness, Spirituality, Education learning and development, Finance, career and business.
"The exercise is to encourage your inner character to come out," said Kano.
She uses everything from  her body language and demonstration to show her students, the process of going after your goal will not be easy. But they must always find a way to win.

Goal focused

"Finding a way of going after what you need might mean the road will not be always smooth and straight. Sometimes you will need to take the longest route to where you going but you will always find a winning.

Her class are also interactive and guest are also encourage to introduce themselves and exchange business contacts before the class ends, the students are asked to write down three things that will stop them from achieving their goals. A lot had fear, doubt and procrastination as their biggest stumbling block.

"Last year, I had a Zulu men who came through with his wife to class. He had to understand what the whole exercise was about before he partook on the process. He gave me a hard time, but I think he also wanted to know the process before he could commit to it.It is always nicer for each person in the family to have their own individual visual board. It is a constant reminder of where you want to go and the goals you want to achieve. I encourage people to look at their vision boards every three months and tick off things that they have achieved," All the goals are achievable you need to work on getting to your dream house or car. Everything needs action.

Black excellence shone at the Global Citizen Festival Mandela 100

I'v been wanting to write about the Global Citizen Festival Mandela 100 event for a while now.
But every time when I try to pen down the color of electrifying  entertainment music event, my mind get clustered with the scenes of the  tragic end of crime mar that  result to a mental block.

 For a while my mind battled to write about the greatness and the world class entertainment experience which later saw poet Ntsiki Mazwai twitter comments addressed concert attendees almost getting her account suspended.

As much as what happened was bad, I and my friend Dineo Faku, a reporter at the Star and MAC resident trainer, Mokgadi Shogole were part of the victim of  what happened that night. I didn't want the article to focus on that  and forget that for hours I enjoyed and dance in celebration to see two of the most powerful and famous black women in the world were in the same same stadium with me.

Knowing how the international community already have a perception that South Africa is a crime country, I really didn't want to write another piece that will dent the image of the country further. Or provide further reasons for people to believe crime in the country is out of control of which it is not.

I dreamt of interviewing Beyonce  Knowles and Oprera Winfrey during my career as a print journalist, I never thought that  dream I would be a little bit closer to reality when I attended the concert that also saw my favorite story teller and comedian, Tyler Perry, Hip hop mogul Jay-Z, Ed Sheeran, Eddie Vedder, Femi Kuti, Pharreal Williams, Chris Martin, Usher and Noami Campbell, Gayle King and D'Banji in one stage.
 Cassper Nyovest understood quite well he was on another league hence he had fans eating in the palm if his hands. The trendsetter and Mr #FillupFNBstadium put on a show that  left everyone talking and local artist such as Sho Madjozi gave the best performance but still keeping it real.
Everyone who graced the stage, from the mc and host of the Daily Show, Trevor Noah, to South African based tv and radio personalities including Anele Mdoda, Nomzambo Mbatha, Pearl Thusi, Bonang Matheba, Dj Black Coffee performing along side Ursher earned the stripes of being part of the initiative celebrating 100 years of our former president Nelson Mandela.
Thanks to the Patrice Motsepe  Foundation and Mandela House amongst other organizers we were treated to a world class entertainment.
What was also good about the event was that it was not just about entertainment but also uplifted locals. Music icon   Beyonce close down the show with a local Quiteria and George design(see picture above) she also shared the stage with a group from South Africa doing a rendition of Halo. 
My friend and I  earned our ticket through volunteering for Viacom and boy did we not enjoy the show put together to celebrate Nelson Mandela's 100 years. The former statement was praised by speaker after speaker with the queen of talk show, Operah Winfrey sharing the her story of being invited by Nelson Mandela for Christmas in Qunu. Operah who at the time was renovating her home said she spent ten days with Mandela. One of their conversations sparked the idea of the talk show host building the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. The event raised over R100 billion,
