Katlego Lebogang) | ASIAS S4 EP4 | The Assembly - Junior Year - CPT Description: Sho, Genge! Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U This is the second episode of the second instalment of the The Assembly - Junior Year, recorded live in Cape Town. In this episode, The Genge & I, Pt.3, Katlego and I have a sit down in which we go through the questions received from The Genge. As always, this is always a fun and fulfilling way of connecting with my audience in a way that's interactive and informative, at the same time. In retrospect, these are the moments that remind me of how far I've come and the many people that have joined me on this ride, as I navigate what life has in store, for me. I hope this episode helps you with 'pearls' you can keep as you navigate your life and work in your purpose! </video> <video> #vlog : Come With Me! | The Assembly, Cape Town Leisure, Travel, Cuisine & Adventure Description: Sho, Genge and welcome back to Uncomfortable Growth! This vlog is special - I had the pleasure of hosting The second edition of my show, The Assembly, in Johannesburg & Cape Town. In that, I wanted to showcase the preparations and the experience in both cities, through the lens of my camera and the perspectives of not only myself but from my loved ones, too. I also had the lovely pleasure of exploring Cape Town - after the event - where I spent much needed time with my loved ones while enjoying the many activities that Cape Town had to offer me. From the quiet and serene views of Grotto Bay to the scenic warmth of Yzerfontein and the surrounding places, I can surely say that this was an experience to remember. This is an update to the genge about what's been going on recently. I hope that you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed filming it for you. Please make sure to like, comment and subscribe! </video> <video> JHB TO LDN Vlog | Festivals, Traveling, Cuisine, Leisure, Exploring #vlog #vlogging #london Description: Sho, Genge! Welcome back to my channel, Uncomfortable Growth, with your girl. Come with me as I take on the landscapes of London, along with my dearest friend, Orisa. For me, travelling is more than just what the eye can see. It's deeper than the sounds that you get the blessings to hear and love. Travelling is about culture and ingratiating yourself within a world that is different from what one is used to, back home. Being in London made me appreciate it's rich culture in music, arts and the beautiful landmark places. In this vlog, I had the chance to attend festivals that are diverse in its musical offerings. I had the chance to try out the cuisine from intimate and grand restaurants alike. I also had the pleasure of commuting around London using their awesome transportation methods, which made me appreciate the experience even more. If you ask me what's the most memorable moment? It's definitely spending time with my friend, Orisa, and being able to make new friends, abroad. There is nothing as incredible as the gift of friendship and I had that in abundance, during my stay in London. I hope you'll love this vlog just as much as I have in putting it all together, for the Genge! </video> <video> "To Whom Much Is Given" | ASIAS - The Assembly - S4 EP1 Description: Sho, Genge. Welcome to the new season of my podcast, After School is After School with Sis G.U! Writing this comes with the goosebumps that one would have, when starting a new school year - along with a new school curriculum. There's a lot of anticipation, excitement but most of all? An immense feeling of gratitude. This season's curriculum is bigger and better - as we're growing together in experience and faith. I have no doubt in my mind that the lessons and discoveries that I have to share, in this new season, will be beneficial to the Genge in our own personal capacities. We're kicking off the new season, within the conforms of my annual event, The Assembly. It's always an incredible blessing to be with my tribe, in which we can fellowship together and connect in synergy. With that being said, this episode is a reflection back into the season that was and my growth from where I was. The perspective I chose to observe this retrospect in, is through the old adage of, "To Whom Much Is Given, Much is Tested". The more blessings that God bestows on us, the more we have to let go of what we know and trust in Him, completely. Although, this is easier said than done, we can rest assured knowing that God has plans that is bigger than us. Plans that bear fruits of prosperity, within our purpose. I trust that this episode has some beautiful gems from my experiences that you can implement in your own life, as people on the quest to fulfil their purpose, in faith. </video> <video> 27, In Mozambique | Bilene, Sight-Seeing, Leisure & Adventure #vlog Description: Sho, Genge! Welcome back to Uncomfortable Growth, with your girl, Gugulethu Nyatsumba. I write this description with a huge amount of gratitude. To see another year, on earth, is a blessing that we can sometimes take for granted. We tend to often worry about what we haven't done instead of putting a light on the many battles and tests that we were able to get through and conquer. It's always in human nature to worry about moments like those, but it's through God, the community of love that surrounds me and the Genge that I write this with an abundance of gratitude. I had the pleasure of spending my birthday in Mozambique, with my sister, Nosipho. To see more of what Africa entails is a blessing that often gets overlooked. I cannot ever understate how important it is to really explore our continent and see what beautiful landscapes, stories and cultures await you. I enjoyed myself thoroughly throughout my stay in Mozambique. We got up to a bit of activities that I had the pleasure of filming! Life is all about the wholesome moments, and my birthday week was nothing short of that. </video> <video> 'Put On Your Seatbelt' | ASIAS S4EP3 - The Assembly Junior Year - CPT Edition Description: Sho, Genge! Welcome back to ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U This is the first episode from the Cape Town leg of The Assembly - Junior Year. It was such a pleasure to be with The Genge, all the way in the Western Cape. Let me share a Bible verse that speaks to the core of this episode from Isaiah 43:19 "Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." This episode is a full circle moment, for me. I remember some of my worst moments in my life were experienced in Cape Town. To come back here, hosting The Assembly with my team? Feels like a victory lap in which God takes all the credit. When we analyze the Bible verse above, we're being reminded of how God's power surpasses all. He makes a way where our eyes and our minds cannot see or fathom. We all have moments where we're lost within the wilderness or the desert. It somewhat feels like there is no clear way forward, but I am a testament of the fact that God's plans for you will supersede anything beyond your wildest dreams. Join me, as I share gems around the different aspects of life, that I have learned about. Through the concepts of spirituality, friendship, relationships and personal growth. It's going to be an amazing ride, so I suggest you 'Put On Your Seatbelt' </video> <video> "Men's Mental Health Month (feat. Kelvin Chilezi)" | ASIAS S4 EP5 #mensmentalhealth #mentalhealth Description: Sho, Genge! Welcome back to ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U During the month of June, attention is dedicated to the mental wellness of men, across the globe. The purpose of Men’s Health Month, is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. Today, I am joined by my sound engineer, Kelvin Chilezi, as we have a brief conversation around Men's Mental Health and the awareness around it. </video> <video> Purpose Within Creation (feat. Nompumelelo Lee Ndlovu) | ASIAS S4 EP14 | Creating, Purpose, Growth Description: Sho, Genge! Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U. Yes, Genge! This episode is a special one, as I'm joined by my fellow content creator, artist and multi-faceted friend, Nompumelelo Lee Ndlovu. When we speak of content creation, it's rare to hear people speak about how purpose based it is. In the age of social media and entertainment, it's easy to undermine the process of content creation because of how much content is out there. The idea of oversaturation can feel overwhelming - but one thing is for sure: The best content you can create, that people will gravitate towards, needs to be unapologetically YOU & surrounding the things you love. No matter what medium of content or art that you find yourself creating, the process always requires you to be vulnerable, honest and unbiased with yourself - in order to create the best content that you can. This phenomenon is not to be understated, as it involves all sections of you. The spiritual, emotion, physical and mental sections of yourself. In this perspective, we were able to touch on the factors that arise when creating, how to deal with those moments (whether good or bad) and the overall meaning of really understanding why you've been given the gift to create. From both of our experiences, I know that the Genge will have a vast amount of gems to keep - as this conversation reaffirms, educates and inspires us to create art, from the heart! </video> <video> The Shining Star (feat. @elaine) | ASIAS S4 EP9 | Music, Elements, Spirituality, Love, Growth Description: Sho, Genge! Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U What does it mean to be a Shining Star? One may define it as someone who has reached their full potential or has entered their prime in whatever gifts that they have to share, with the world. One may define it as a personality that can light up even the darkest of places. One may even go as far as connecting the term to artistic excellence and celebrity status - amassing influence and inspiration among others. My guest encompasses all of these factors, and more! Today, I had the incredible honour of sitting down with the extremely talented, award winning singer & songwriter, Elaine. Like every episode, the core aim is to get to the personal conversations that inspire growth. Join me, as I get candid with the superstar about her journey leading up to Elements and life after Elements, the upcoming debut studio album along with her experiences dealing with the industry, spirituality as well as incredible, fun filled & inspiring conversations surrounding what makes Elaine who she is, beyond the music. Make sure to listen to Elaine's new song, 'Waiting on You', out now! </video> <video> He Doesn't Like You Enough (feat. Solami Nxumalo) | ASIAS S4 EP6 | #relationship #love Description: Sho, Genge! Welcome back to ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U. One of the most beautiful things about love is knowing when you're being loved, in full capacity. It is this very feeling, that is a part of the best things you could ever experience, in life. To know, that someone loves you and chooses you with everything they have? Magical. You could even call it poetic, if you want to liken it to that level. But, what happens when you're in a situation or relationship where you can feel that the love just is not enough? Is it fair to stay, in the name of struggle love, to hopefully get what you deserve? Or, maybe it's just a situation where you're banking on potential? All of these are situations we all have been through. You can feel your person of interest having a liking towards you, but it's not enough to build on. You don't feel your person giving their all, into what you two are hoping to achieve. And, this is what this episode is about! Join Solami and I, as we speak about this phenomenon of navigating situations or relationships where you're not getting enough of what you deserve and how to deal with that. We have some lovely pointers, in which we hope, you keep as you're finding your special person! </video> <video> #vlog: My Life Lately | Work & Leisure | Music & Fashion | Concerts Description: Sho Genge!

I hope they you enjoy this vlog! Don’t forget to like, share and subscribe 🤩 Video edited by: ULTRASND </video> <video> Spaces with Sis G.U - Grotto Bay, Cape Town Description: Sho, Genge and welcome back to Spaces with Sis G.U! To travel is an experience that everyone needs to embark on. Not only does it give you a new outlook on what the world has to offer, but there is a sense of gratitude that comes with being able to see the world. I encourage you, whenever an opportunity presents itself in which you can go and see the adventures of the world? Do it, and do not hold back! With that said, here is no better place to explore, than the adventures of our own country. In this episode, I found paradise within the incredible area of Grotto Bay, Cape Town. Come with me as I review an AirB&B residence within the Grotto Bay Private Nature Reserve. I will be showing you the overall look of the place, as well as what this residency entails, along with its amenities and house rules. This was an incredible stay, with the host extending a very warm and pleasant welcome!

Welcome back to Uncomfortable Growth, with your girl, Gugulethu Nyatsumba. To all my subscribers, thank you for sticking with me - as it's been a long while since I've uploaded, on my channel. To those who are passing by... I hope you like what you see & you join the Genge, please! Spaces by Sis G.U is more than just a review series, but it is a series of recommendation to the Genge. These are spaces that appeal to me, in ways that have impressed me during my stays, and I would love for the Genge to experience, for themselves! When we're thinking of booking a place, on Airbnb, there are quite a few factors we always look out for. The cost to stay at a place, the area it's situated in, as well as the amenities that the space offers. Beyond that, the expectations of comfortability and the feel of luxury is a standard we expect, as soon as we step into the place. It is with great pleasure to say that the Dante' Sandton Apartment, in Randburg, ticked all of those boxes, for me. This video gives you an insight into my stay at the apartment, as well as my reviews on the service, communication and overall vibe of the space. There's nothing more than being able to experience luxury where you don't have to stretch your budget over and beyond. This was definitely a memorable stay.

Welcome back to another episode of ASIAS, with your girl, Sis G.U There comes a time where one has to just sit and acknowledge what's going around them and within them. This episode, is that very process, for me. It's so easy to get caught in all the formalities and responsibilities that a day can have - and to repeat that formula, every day, can cause you to forget to sit and reflect. To take things in and just speak about whatever's within one's heart. This is my diary entry, in which I speak freely, about what's within my mind, without any plans or scripts. Just me, talking and having a conversation, with the Genge! </video>
