Silberg, who is based in New York City, hosts the global online live weekly #FiresideChats where she invites a panel of extraordinary global leading minds to selflessly share their knowledge and expertise with her growing global community of entrepreneurs, across more than 30 countries.

Mohube, who has been part of the panel twice in 2016, says, “Mentoring women in the media and marketing industry is one of my passions and being asked to join the panel on two occasions is an honour, because it gave me the opportunity to share my experiences with thousands of participants across the globe.”

Described as a super-mom by Silberg for working 18-hour days and still raising a beautiful daughter, Mohube responds that all entrepreneurs work long hours. “Somehow we find the inner strength to do it; it is a long but rewarding journey. As women, we carry much guilt, because we are expected to take care for our families. It is because of my family and their support that I can do what I do and I do it for the greater good of my family.”

During the #FiresideChat session, Mohube describes herself as constructive, passionate and a visionary. She wants to be remembered for playing a role in empowering other women.
