Mpoomy Ledwaba recently added a new win to her list of achievements.
The 29-year-old has just announced that she has made it onto the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
The award-winning podcaster began her Instagram post by reflecting on her journey towards becoming the prominent media figure she is today.
"There are moments in life that have you crippled for a long time…. And inform your every decision and the person you become," she wrote.

She then went on to speak about the time she dropped out of college.
"I share the story of walking out of an exam room as I heard God said go…..I share it like it’s beautiful miracle that was loud and clear.
"The truth is that it became my “thorn”….I felt like a fraud, I questioned for the longest time whether I made things up and masked it as “God"," she wrote.
As a result of feeling like a failure, she worked hard to become successful.
"I’ve lived my twenties as an overachiever with goals to tick just to heal the little 19 year old who was scared, felt like an outsider and failure," she wrote.
The podcaster says making it onto the Forbes 30 Under 30 list has become a full circle moment for her.
"Today, God granted me the gift of a full circle /closure . It’s as if He is saying “you no longer have to prove to YOU, enter your third decade with forgiveness, redemption, set yourself free and see yourself through my eyes,” she wrote.
The podcaster has thanked her father for making her who she is.
"I’m grateful to my dad, who gave me my first job at 9 as his tea lady and raised me to believe that I can do anything I put my mind to. Who has believed every dream I shared. Who invested in my first business and the man who showed me how to use my gifts and my hands. An incredible business man and visionary," she wrote.
She concluded her post by saying her latest win is dedicated to her father.
"Papa, this one is for you and I," she wrote.
