2020 and its share of abnormality has forced all of us to rethink life, from what we knew it to be, into new imagined ways of being, of doing business, of creating, of connecting people and ideas, of expression, in its totality. As such, the much anticipated and impactful #987Woman property is no exception – it too has found itself with the challenge of how it reimagines itself in the Women’s Month memorialisation and commemoration content space.

In response to this, #987Woman seeks to expand itself as a property and observe the entire month of August to women’s leadership conversations. In a much more focused and intimate format, 20 of South Africa’s finest women, to reflect on their personal anecdotal and epiphanic moments of becoming through a one-hour long podcast of candid conversations with their various guests.
