Bontle Moka

Bontle Moka, 30, a marketing and partnership manager at Legacy 243, is also a writer and endometriosis advocate whose work focuses on awareness, storytelling and healing. Bontle grew up in the Adventist faith. “My parents, Thabo and Busisiwe Moabi, shaped who I am,” she says. “My mother, despite facing chronic illness, lives with grace and authenticity, and my father has shown me how to lead with strength and gentleness.” Her work spans research, communication, social media marketing, performance analytics and relationship-building. At its core is her commitment to endometriosis advocacy, through blogging, content creation, fundraising and community man- agement. She also uses her writing to speak about mental health and sexual assault, drawing from her own experiences as a survivor. Bontle’s creative work includes two anthologies, which were also selected for use in a school’s English and poetry curriculum. Her work in the endometriosis space has been featured in Drum, TimesLive, 5FM, Squid the Fuse and Asikhulume. She was also part of the team behind the Black Writers Weekend in Atlanta, where she gained experience in literary event planning and deepened her understanding of storytelling’s power.

• Published two anthologies, both selected for school distribution to support English and poetry curriculum development
• Advocacy work in endometriosis awareness in South Africa featured in key media outlets, including: Drum, TimesLIVE, 5FM, Squid the Fuse and Asikhulume
• Contributed to the Black Writers Weekend event in Atlanta as part of the organising team, gaining experience in event coordination, the literary sector and the broader impact of storytelling
• With experience in both marketing and writing, storytelling remains a central passion. In business, stories must be told creatively to drive revenue, meet targets and align with organisational objectives. Beyond commerce, storytelling fosters human connection — one of the most important lessons gained across professional and personal spaces.

My parents, Thabo and Busisiwe Moabi, are among the most admired individuals. Their guidance has profoundly shaped personal values and provided enduring examples of living with integrity, compassion and purpose.  My mother, despite enduring endometriosis and numerous health challenges, continues to live with authenticity. Through her actions, she demonstrates the power of grace and the importance of infusing love into every task.  My father, one of the wisest influences, has exemplified how to be both gentle and strong. He created space to grow into a confident yet compassionate woman — a balance that underpins the kind of advocate represented today. His professional journey offers a blueprint for aspirations in the corporate world. He leads with integrity, seeks God first, and consistently uplifts and inspires those around him.  Their impact is immeasurable.
