As the world celebrates Women’s Month, we identified and spoke to a group of stand-out women - in fitness, decor and photography. Fitness

Palesa Masiteng , TV presenter, wellness speaker, professional model, entrepreneur, and founder of Model Fitness by Palesa Masiteng - a lifestyle brand that aims to inspire and motivate individuals to live an active lifestyle.It began as part of my work as a model - I obviously have to maintain a certain look and shape. However, at the time, I led a very unhealthy lifestyle. I reached a point in life where there was a lot of imbalance and that’s when I made a decision.

I spent some of my childhood in Soweto, where I met a photographer who took me in and taught me how to shoot and develop film. After he passed, I continued some of his work around the area where we lived and I chose to study photojournalism as a vessel to tell stories. I didn’t shoot in an official capacity until after I got my degree and travelled for a while. I didn’t believe anyone would take me seriously as a photographer - until they did.I shoot portraits, mostly.
