Description

From the curated chaos of the digital age to the quiet rooms of self-reflection, Tshiamo Modisane has learned that the real work of becoming is not about being seen; it’s about being known.

In this intimate and reflective episode of Listen To Your Footsteps, Kojo Baffoe sits down with Tshiamo, a South African stylist, writer, and creative storyteller, to unpack the balance between visibility and authenticity. Known for her articulate voice across fashion, media, and social storytelling, Tshiamo has become a guiding presence for many navigating the tension between self-expression and self-preservation.

She speaks with emotional clarity about what it means to grow publicly while protecting your peace privately, how to practise softness as strength, and why letting your work speak first remains the most radical act of self-trust in a performative world.

Together, Kojo and Tshiamo explore:

  • How to stay grounded when your identity becomes content.
  • The difference between performing peace and living it.
  • Why gentleness can be a creative superpower.
  • How burnout taught her to rebuild from rest.
  • The ongoing work of becoming whole—in public view.

This conversation is not about perfection or performance; it’s about presence. Tshiamo reminds us that true influence has nothing to do with attention and everything to do with intention.

Whether you know her from I Am Tshiamo or meet her here for the first time, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and redefine what strength and visibility mean for you.
