Dr. Kentse Sesele is an accomplished academic researcher, keynote speaker, author, and thought leader whose influence extends across governance, sustainability, and human resilience. She has led in senior executive roles, chaired influential boards, and presented on international stages, from the Mining Indaba to global sustainability forums.

But beyond her professional achievements lies her most profound identity: a mother.

The loss of her only child, Wenzi, reshaped her path and revealed grief not only as pain, but as a teacher. In the depths of loss, she found a way to transform sorrow into purpose.

Through her writing, coaching, and retreats, Dr. Sesele now helps others honor their grief while also rising into renewed life. Her message is simple yet powerful: healing is possible, and love continues to shape us beyond loss.
