Katie Mohamed, a dynamic leader, speaker, and advocate for women’s empowerment, launched her much-anticipated debut book, Brave, Today, at Al-Hamra restaurant in Sandton on August 15.
The event was a powerful celebration of resilience, empowerment, and the transformative impact of personal stories.
Mohamed, a prominent figure in South Africa’s media and business landscape, has long been a leading voice in uplifting and inspiring women nationwide and beyond.
With Brave, Today, she offers readers a guide to embracing their courage and living authentically, drawing on her own experiences and challenges.
The launch event attracted a diverse audience, including leaders in business, media, and the arts, as well as friends, family, and supporters.
Renowned poet Lebogang Mashile, who hosted the evening, emphasised the significance of storytelling in driving social change and fostering cohesion.
Speakers such as Stavros Nicolau and Yvonne Chaka Chaka lauded Mohamed for her authenticity and her contributions to gender equity, media, and positive change in the country.
Their words highlighted the impact Mohamed has had in inspiring others to take bold steps towards personal and professional growth.
During the event, Mohamed engaged in a candid conversation about her journey in writing Brave, Today, the obstacles she encountered, and the motivation behind her work.
Her reflections resonated deeply with the audience, especially when she emphasised the importance of authenticity and courage in a world that often demands conformity.
“Brave, Today is not just a book, it’s a movement. I wanted to create something that not only tells my story but also encourages others to tell theirs.”
The evening reached its peak with the official unveiling of Brave, Today.
As the book went on sale, Mohamed signed copies for attendees, many of whom shared how they felt a personal connection to the themes of the book and how Mohamed’s words had already begun to make a difference in their lives.
