Thobeka Msengana, an emerging female leader and psychologist with over a decade of experience in the field, brings diverse mental health solutions in a brand new feature on the Slyso TV Podcast. The East London based psychologist whose experience stretches from higher education, high school, private practice and NGO environments is also Administrative Coordinator for the EMC of the Southern African Association for Counselling and Development in Higher Education as well as Manging Director of the Uyinene Mrwetyana Foundation.
Thobs (as she is affectionately known) says, “being at the helm of “The Motivational Moment with Thobeka Msengana” feature, on the podcast will serve not only to reach her following consistently, but an opportunity to share her areas of interest, which include Mental Health and GBVF, Afrocentric Psychology, Student Development and Wellbeing”.
The Motivational Moment feature is a recent addition to the Umhlobo Wenene FM veteran presenter and 4ward Movement Entertainment owner, Sizwe “Slyso” Saliso. Now, “abstract”, “out of the norm” and “unconventional” are some of the synonyms that could best describe The Slyso TV Podcast. The pod itself, takes a radio style format that is daringly broadcast live. The aim being a far more engaging format that is able to attract a diverse audience while creatively challenging both radio and television.
According to Slyso, “The aim of this venture is to be a “podcasts’ podcast”, where different, credible content creators, whose content speaks to The Slyso TV Podcast’s vision are partnered with. Our aim with Thobeka’s feature, for an example is to provide a platform that provides motivational mental solutions for a generation faced with a rapidly evolving world… this, stretching from personal to work challenges. We provide a virtual hub for people as motivated and committed to change as Tho to make a difference while growing her brand and practise”.
