Both Sides | Rachel Kolisi: Parenting, Privacy & Leading with Purpose (Part 2)

In the second part of this episode of Both Sides, Randall Abrahams is joined once again by Rachel Kolisi, philanthropist, mother, and social justice advocate, for a raw and honest discussion on parenting in the public eye, life after the limelight, and her evolving mission for women’s empowerment in South Africa.

Rachel opens up about the conscious decision to protect her children’s privacy on social media, the challenges of motherhood, and why there’s no such thing as a “perfect mom.” She reflects on navigating a high-profile life, the pressures of being a public figure, and how journaling and solitude have become tools for personal growth and self-preservation.

The conversation dives deep into gender equity, with Rachel making a passionate call for more leadership spaces for women, in boardrooms and in homes. She addresses the unrealistic expectations placed on modern women and the urgent need to equip and support them for success on their own terms.

Rachel talks about the impact of her faith, and why she’s committed to collaboration over competition when it comes to making a real difference. Whether or not media or further study lie in her future, one thing is clear: her purpose-driven journey is only just beginning.
