Tiisetso Mthembu General Counsel multinational corporation HIV stigma resilience poverty inspiration

Welcome to season 6 of the Sisters In Conversation podcast. In today’s episode I am in Conversation with Tiisetso Mthembu who is General Counsel at a Multinational Corporation. We spoke about her upbringing with a specific focus on how Tiisetso lost her mom to HIV at a time when there was so much stigma around the disease and how losing her mom lead her into a series of traumatic experiences. Tiisetso’s story is a true testament to her resilience because in the face of adversity she continued to push on academically and actively worked her way out of a life of poverty. I am so inspired by today’s conversation and I am reminded of the phrase: “When you put everything in God’s hands, You will see God’s hand in everything”.

I hope you are inspired by Tiisetso’s story and are motivated to stay the course in whatever glory you are pursuing.
