About
Meet the Team
It all began during a mentorship session between Mothate Sewelo (Mentee) and Tryphosa Ramano. They discussed the idea of sharing Tryphosa’s insights with a broader group of young people, rather than limiting them to 1:1 mentorship. Recognizing Tryphosa’s ability to listen and empower, Mothate was tasked with bringing this idea to life.
Mothate enlisted the help of Vuyelwa Diniso, another of Tryphosa’s mentees. Vuyelwa took on the responsibility of creating a logo and brand positioning, while Mothate focused on developing a social media strategy. They are now the project leads on SATT.
And the rest is history.
