Saray Khumalo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Allow us to reintroduce Saray Khumalo, the first black African woman to summit Mount Everest and ski to the South Pole.<\/p>\n

Saray is one of four women who feature in this year\u2019s Momentum Success Films. She, along with jam farmer Ina Lessing, radio personality Hulisani Ravele, business owner Tobeka Lwana and Momentum Head of Brand Marketing Charlotte Nsubuga-Mukasa, tell of their own journeys to success.<\/p>\n

We will be sharing their inspiring stories over the next couple of days. Today we zoom in on Saray who is a mother of two boys \u2013 her most important job, she says. Saray is a corporate and humanitarian powerhouse. She is an executive at Momentum Multiply, and doesn\u2019t just climb the highest mountains for the thrill, she does it to raise much needed funds to support the education system in the country. How does she do it all?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m being supported by my colleagues as well as my company,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m able to still be a corporate leader, lead a team and make decisions that are actually making a difference. At the same time, I\u2019m also a mom that my kids need. I hope I do that as well as they expect me to do because I think that kids give you more grey hair than scaling mountains,\u201d she quips.<\/p>\n

Saray\u2019s successes as a corporate leader started when her boss resigned and that position became vacant. With some help from a supportive friend, she worked up the courage to \u201capply\u201d for the position. \u201cI walked into the CEO\u2019s office and I said, \u2018I think you should give me a shot\u2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to speak for ourselves. You know, there is this notion that, let\u2019s wait for the seat at the table. No, you\u2019ve already got the seat at the table, act like it. Own it!\u201d<\/p>\n
