South African icons Bonang Matheba and Thembi Seete recently sat down for an inspiring and heartfelt conversation on the L’Oréal Paris “Talk Your Worth” podcast, a platform dedicated to empowering, motivating, and educating listeners. In celebration of Women’s Month, the two trailblazers reflected on their careers, womanhood, family, and the lessons of worth they’ve embraced along their journeys.
Bonang, known for her charisma and dynamic presence, shared a humorous and nostalgic story of meeting Thembi for the first time at the age of 14 during a Boom Shaka performance. This chance encounter also introduced her to the late Lebo Mathosa, making it a defining moment in her life. She told Thembi, “You taught me so much about self-expression, you know, as a young girl. You were someone I looked up to, who showed me how to be expressive on stage.” Thembi, a pioneer in the entertainment industry, spoke passionately about how she discovered her love for music and television at a young age, a passion that has continued to fuel her illustrious career.
The conversation between these two powerhouses was not just a trip down memory lane but a celebration of their individual and collective growth. Their discussion delved into themes of self-worth, resilience, and the importance of embracing one’s true self—principles at the heart of the L’Oréal Paris podcast.
Bonang later took to Instagram to share a snippet of their conversation, captioning the post, “Celebrating Women’s Month with @lorealparis. Sat down with South African icon, @thembiseete_ to chat self-worth & expression. A beautiful conversation about the intricacies of growing & glowing.”
Their fashionable appearance also caught the eye—Bonang dazzled in a chic googly eyes and polka dots black dress by Rich Mnisi, while Thembi looked elegant in a white jacket with gold butterfly accents paired with formal pants.
This episode of the L’Oréal Paris “Talk Your Worth” podcast serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of self-worth and the beauty of embracing one’s true self.
