Voices From Sa

Rebone Masemola is an anthropologist, a digital marketer and strategist, an activist and the founder of Woke PROJECT.  Rebone established Woke PROJECT as  a space for people to share  intersectional narratives and share lived experiences. She grew up with her grandparents in Limpopo before starting boarding school at the age of 12. She stumbled into anthropology be accident and we discussed how this pushed her into her career as a digital marketeer and brand strategist. Rebone did a Ted Talk a few months ago entitled "Re-imagining radical protest" where she came out as an angry black woman using her anger as a weapon against toxic masculinity and the patriarchy.  We spent some time discussing gender violence, toxic masculinity and her activism. Like so many activists I have spoken to she is always questioning her path and the impact of her actions. But non-action is not a possibility for her.
