Black Excellence : Miss King



So lets kick of the series by a feature on the one and only your girl Miss KingπŸ‘‘πŸ˜πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰.
Sibusisiwe Nomthandazo Nkosi, aka Miss King (MaNkosi), is a selective intravert, with a big heart and a contagious smile. True story, my smile and laugh are contagious 😁.

From day one my family spoke greatness into my life. My Grandfather named me Sibusisiwe (We are blessed), as a first born in my generation I was a blessing which was received with open arms. My parents named me Nomthandazo (mother of prayer), after winning a battle on my behalf through prayer before I was born.

She is a young woman who is still discovering new things about herself EVERYDAY, and is being molded into God's perfection. There are days when I am like G, this is taking forever now, ngiready mina πŸ™„☺️. Then God says, "im not done my child" 😏.

Enough about me, let me jump straight into it, πŸ–€ Excellence.

I celebrate all forms of excellence, even the ones which don't seem worth celebrating becoz we have been conditioned to only look at material things. For me it is in the way young black women and gents are doing the most, they are jet setting, they are following their dreams, and they are striving to be the best them in all that they do.

For me its about us creating spaces for us to discuss issues, using various platforms to raise issues, and even having the ability and strength to say I don't have my s..t together, or just saying i am struggling...

Its a movement, and its a personal journey. There is no cookie cutter definition. It's an evolution, my definition for 2019, is its when God has placed you in a space and you can look back and say i played my part with all the resources God gave me to make a change....

Black Excellence in the South African context has a young black face and this excites me so much.

I am surrounded by a number of ladies and even gents who embody black excellence. This is what makes this series so exciting for me.

The Young Black Excellence Series


Wow, it has been a minutes since I last used this platform.
For some reason, I found myself back here today. Guess the timing was just perfect right πŸ˜‰.
  
As a way of getting back into the groove, I have decided to use this platform to celebrate the month of August by celebrating some young black women in my circle, who inspire me and who embody black excellence for me.

This month's blogs will used to have discussions on what black excellence means for us in our South African context as well as seeing practical examples of were young black women have displayed this.

I am super excited to take everyone along with me on this journey and I hope this series will inspire some of you to continue doing what you do well and with even more excellence.

So watch this space for the exciting series and the amazing stories!!
