Seeing black girls in Investment Banking is so motivating and inspirational. I am an investment management graduate currently doing her honours and I really inspired by this.
I cannot put into words what it does to ke seeing content like this on YT. Yes, cut creases and fluffy brows and vlogs are awesome but there’s not enough of this from South Africans ❤️ Keep it up, sis
Seeing all three of you eloquent, beautiful, black women in banking makes my heart so full and so proud🖤🙋🏽♀️💁🏽♀️. Loving that this is your first collab, Imkita. Thank you for this and I hope you have more conversations like this in the future! 🙌🏽
Im touching on this because im strongly investing in my professional communication skills.. in my case, we talk a lot to clients who mostly dont check emails so they will call you so you must be ready, English bundles loaded so yeah.. fluent English is important. Articulation 💯

I don't think in English. It is a struggle thinking on your feet in English if you are also not familiar with the jargon of your industry. Read read read! Make sure you are reading about your industry and reading articles by the leaders in your field. Challenge yourself. Reading and reinterpriting what you learn in books and articles has made the biggest change in my thinking speed.
It's my first time watching a long sit down YT video without skipping too. I genuinely enjoyed it. Also considering that I don't do any of these fields spoken about... 🔥🔥
I’m so glad mntase! I feared that the audience might find it too long but I also thought it was too good to shorten further, and I’ve received validation of that ❤️
This is sooo inspiring! I'm a matric student, I've just been researching and I've taken a liking to investment banking. Its so amazing to see black south african women in banking. So, thank you so much for this.
Being a recent Bcom Graduate, and on the search for internships, I really found this video helpful. I honestly always learn a lot from Imkita, and one thing I can say for sure, is that you're a huge inspiration Sis. Thank you so much ❤️
Sounds like Minenhle completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Management at Wits Business School. I cannot preach how useful that qualification is for young people interested in commerce.
I absolutely loved the conversation! Especially seeing young black females my age talk very passionately about my desired career industry. It is inspiring.
Being such a huge fan of your channel and seeing you have my head girl from when I was in Grade 8 (@Tsholo) as one of your guests has me feeling so empowered. Young black women are taking up space and personally I’m here for it! 🔥😍
This was so dope. The ladies mentioned that they read up about finance as if they were gonna write an exam. Could they please share what they read, if possible?
Hey! Some of the websites which were most helpful to them were mentioned - wallstreetprep and wallstreetoasis. There are a bunch of other free materials online if you do a quick Google search as well
Quality content Imkita.Love it! I'm an academic at heart, did Metallurgical Engineering at Wits, work in health and safety and doing a post grad in Anthropology.So I love content that shows others that they don't have to be tied down by what they studied.
This was very insightful. Thank you ladies for having this conversation, i definitely learned alot. For anyone watching do not skip parts, watch the whole video, you will honestly learn a lot.
This video is SO important. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience ladies, as someone who is looking to get into banking soon this was an eye opener. ♥️😭
I actually never come on youtube to watch vlogs n all these thirsty influencer vids but I just saw banking n black n immediately clicked. I can't express how grateful I am to hear a conversation from people my age about a career I want to build so bad! I'm 25, studied Bcom Economics n Econometrics at UJ (2021 grad) n somehow ended up in an internship for something accounting-related which isn't ideal but it is the only place that has even offered me an opportunity, given our economy being what it is. Anyway, I loved your genuine POV's, the conversation flowed n was effortless, no pretending like you all are more than you are but just 3 evidently n sincerely smart eloquent women. Good job Imkita I'll be browsing your channel for more premium content like this. Appreciate you!
This was a very informative video. I was also quite happy to see that are women in financial services . Thank you for sharing your experiences so openly❤️❤️
My only comment is, I need a Tsholo in my life. Keep growing & waking your journey ladies, this was a really great episode. I wish you nothing but the best.
Doing my final year at Wits... Investment Banking I'm coming for you😈! I think I know Tsholo from Investec... I digress 😂 Great content Imkita and the ladies, keep it up
Thanks for the informative video...I’m not working in the corporate space however this video was very insightful and inspiring. I will definitely share❤️
Hi Imkita, how are you? Thank you for such a mindful conversation on some of the important points of the working/corporate industry. Please share the social media of Minenhle and Tsholo.
New subbie 🥳✨ I studied Financial Science and it’s a very vast degree so I didn’t know which direction to take but this video has definitely convinced me. You guys are so inspiring 🥺👌🏾 I’m definitely stepping into this space next year, I’ll come back to testify next year.
I agree that representation is important and that is what you ladies are doing. I would like to know which schools should one look into with the intention to study investment banking.
What do you mean by schools? Assume target universities. If that is the case, I would suggest a large mainstream university. That is where banks usually recruit from
This is such an amazing interview. Kindly please make a video on how one can secure an internship and also does Tsholo have a TH-cam channel? I've seen her once.
I really really appreciate your TH-cam channel because it's not only about lifestyle but it's about building and inspiring young women. I'm a young black historian and not into banking at all but I honestly love watching your channel and the fact that I learn new things every time
There’s barely any information on investment banking in SA so videos like these really mean a lot to someone like me who’s trying to break in.I can’t thank you enough.Big Thank you to Minenhle and Tsholo as well.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I really enjoyed hearing this conversation. I found it very insightful, as an engineering student myself I’m not sure if the field I’m studying for is well suited for me. So, I found it very beneficial to hear the perspective of someone who’s path started out in a similar fashion as mine and how they’ve managed to change their career trajectory to something they find more suitable for them. It’s great to hear that it is a possibility. ❤️
I’m so glad! That’s one thing I really hoped people would get from this video (and one which I’ve been speaking to my young sister about) - that your degree doesn’t limit what you can get into and it’s possible to change your mind
As a black girl in medicine. Nothing makes me happier than black girls taking up spaces❤️❤️❤️❤️
Right? It is my favourite thing to see and so glad I am able to share a bit of it 💕
Seeing black girls in Investment Banking is so motivating and inspirational. I am an investment management graduate currently doing her honours and I really inspired by this.
I'm in matric and I'm actually thinking of doing investment management next year
I cannot put into words what it does to ke seeing content like this on YT. Yes, cut creases and fluffy brows and vlogs are awesome but there’s not enough of this from South Africans ❤️ Keep it up, sis
Thank you very much
Seeing all three of you eloquent, beautiful, black women in banking makes my heart so full and so proud🖤🙋🏽♀️💁🏽♀️. Loving that this is your first collab, Imkita. Thank you for this and I hope you have more conversations like this in the future! 🙌🏽
Thank you loads 💛 I hope I can create more conversations like this too. These ladies set the bar quite high though!
The Twang is twanging!!!! 😭😭 🙌 I love you all ladies.. own lane own pace #MakingMoves
Im touching on this because im strongly investing in my professional communication skills.. in my case, we talk a lot to clients who mostly dont check emails so they will call you so you must be ready, English bundles loaded so yeah.. fluent English is important. Articulation 💯
Where do we learn the twang mntase? Sbwl
reading!!!! the 1st step i took and withing a week i could hear my vocab was improving! 2nd TH-cam videos 3rd there is a SA IVY LEGUE student helping me - private lesson for 200 ZAR
@amahle im not learning twanging.. im learning 1st Language English.. 😭😭😂😊😂 "thinking" in English .. speaking & writing - corporate communication
I don't think in English. It is a struggle thinking on your feet in English if you are also not familiar with the jargon of your industry.
Read read read! Make sure you are reading about your industry and reading articles by the leaders in your field. Challenge yourself.
Reading and reinterpriting what you learn in books and articles has made the biggest change in my thinking speed.
This is the first time I have ever watched such a long TH-cam video without skipping parts! Well done ladies. I enjoyed watching it. ❤️
It's my first time watching a long sit down YT video without skipping too. I genuinely enjoyed it. Also considering that I don't do any of these fields spoken about... 🔥🔥
Girl, me too
Right!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this long video without skipping
All the best to you Imkita, Tsholo and Minenhle and future endeavors!!! 💯🔥💯
I’m so glad mntase! I feared that the audience might find it too long but I also thought it was too good to shorten further, and I’ve received validation of that ❤️
I have almost no interest in banking but your accents are very charming. Cheers from America.
Interesting that a Philosophy Grad got into IB in SA. It is common abroad but not in SA. Thanks for the insights.
This is sooo inspiring!
I'm a matric student, I've just been researching and I've taken a liking to investment banking. Its so amazing to see black south african women in banking.
So, thank you so much for this.
That is fabulous! A lot of people find out about banking later on in their journeys, so I’m glad you’ve gotten exposure so early 💛
Tsholo has alot to offer, she needs too start her own channel, I feel that she has alot to offer and can be the key to someone else's success
Being a recent Bcom Graduate, and on the search for internships, I really found this video helpful. I honestly always learn a lot from Imkita, and one thing I can say for sure, is that you're a huge inspiration Sis. Thank you so much ❤️
you and I, same whatsapp group
Enkosi Nqobile, I appreciate your kind words. All the best on your search for an internship!! ❤️
First of all, naze nabahle😍😍 .. Secondly, thank you so much for this - it's so informative❤️
Woooow what an interesting and eye opening chat 😍 I had no idea that banking can accommodate different academic backgrounds, I am so shook.
I studied agricultural economics, then post grad I studied Finance, Banking and Investment Management, both qualifications are from UKZN.
What was the name of the degree you did in post grad?Also did Agriculture Economics at UP but now want to further my career in Finance
Me too, I studied Postgraduate Diploma in Finance, Banking and Investment Management from UKZN, I so wish to have a career as an investment banker

Sounds like Minenhle completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Management at Wits Business School. I cannot preach how useful that qualification is for young people interested in commerce.

What do you mean by schools? Assume target universities. If that is the case, I would suggest a large mainstream university. That is where banks usually recruit from
Y'all should start a podcast
This is such an amazing interview. Kindly please make a video on how one can secure an internship and also does Tsholo have a TH-cam channel? I've seen her once.
Hey girl! Will add that to my list of ideas. Tsholo isn’t active on YT these days, as far as I know. Will share when she is
Ladies do you think its IMPORTANT to include a cover letter in your job application? if yes, how long should it be?
Yes, most of the posts I’ve seen request one in any case. 1 page cover letter, 1 page CV
awesome1
Imkita you forgot to touch on the money mntase 🤭
Yes I really want to hear it
Hey! Not everyone feels comfortable discussing money on camera, particularly to a large audience. But will try some day
I really really appreciate your TH-cam channel because it's not only about lifestyle but it's about building and inspiring young women. I'm a young black historian and not into banking at all but I honestly love watching your channel and the fact that I learn new things every time
Thank you Lerato! I appreciate this very much. If someone asked what the aim of my channel is, that is exactly what I’d say ❤️
I'm yeeeaaarrrs older than you guys but I wanna be just like you when I grow up. Love seeing truly empowered young black women

There’s barely any information on investment banking in SA so videos like these really mean a lot to someone like me who’s trying to break in.I can’t thank you enough.Big Thank you to Minenhle and Tsholo as well.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m really glad to hear that! I think any bit of information would have helped us when we were trying to break in as well. All the best 🌻
