Don't hold back: say it loud!

Money, sex, identity, mental health, relationships, culture and more — nothing is off-limits in 'Don’t Hold Back', the award-winning video podcast hosted by Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba. Imagine if there were a place where everyone could speak honestly about the things we often keep quiet. That’s what 'Don’t Hold Back' is all about! South Africans under 35 talk about everything from navigating identity, social pressures, and mental health, to dealing with toxic relationships, finances and family expectations. Life feels lighter when you can listen and learn from other people’s stories. 

Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba is a South African content creator, bestselling author and HIV activist. Join her as she chats — and shares a snack — with a different guest in each episode.
