“IL Designs started when I was 22 years old, I love designing and used that as a way to start my company, I started offering the service to students and later grew the brand to various clients and brands, also IL Designs gave birth to Entrepreneur Puzzle which is an online magazine for entrepreneurs to elevate their businesses” Says Nthabi

RealTalkWithNthabi her YouTube channel, she says it was inspired by her own story of life growing up from a village with no much opportunities, “I now have a channel under this brand which inspires the world to be the best versions of themselves, I see it as the next Oprah Winfrey show as I engage the audience with various topics that will leave you wanting more out of life.” Says Nthabi

RealTalkWithNthabi is a registered non-profit organization; it empowers learners, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds. In 2015 Nthabi launched the RealTalkWithNthabi sanitary towels and deodorants campaign “This aims to rebuild the confidence of teenage girls and boys; most importantly to keep them at school and to focus on what more important which is their studies.” Says Nthabi. They have reached a number of provinces with this initiative including North West, Gauteng, Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu Natal and more.

As we wrapped up women’s month yesterday Nthabi on Gender-Based Violence says that she doesn’t believe a person was born to kill or rape and that something might have triggered that. “Teaching and observing children's behavior from a young age can prevent some of this violence we facing, together we can do more and communities need to report what is happening around them.” Says Nthabi

Nthabi is excited about the future as she believes a lot of opportunities are going to open in her craft. “I am an idealist and persistent at the same time, so I am also open-minded on the next best opportunity relevant to my brand, expect growth in my design career, and seeing more of me in the digital space.” Says Nthabi.
