About this listen

She made it to the Miss South Africa Top 30. Then Twitter came for her when it had nothing to do with anything she actually did. In this episode of the Recovery Room, we sit down with Thulani Ndzotyana: Miss Mamelodi Sundowns, Miss SA Top 30 finalist, BCom Law student, senior talent agent, founder of Stride Institute, Talent-ETC company director and future president of South Africa (2044, mark your calendars). Thulani opens up about the moment social media turned on her overnight, why her silence wasn't what people thought it was, how she processed a very public fall from grace, and the spiritual toolkit she reaches for when the world gets loud. She also unpacks the "pull her down" syndrome in the Black community, what she wishes she'd whispered to herself in that office when the posts wouldn't stop, and why she's decided to build her own platform instead of waiting for someone to hand her a crown. Raw, real, and genuinely striding, this one hits different.
