Lesego Tlhabi is well known for her media persona: Coconut Kelz which is a growing satire/comedy figure. Lesego and Coconut Kelz released their debut novel; a satirical book- Coconut Kelz’ Guide To Surviving This Shithole in September 2019, which has since gone on to become a bestseller. She has regular features on various TV spots across the country. She also wrote, starred in, and was the executive producer for the Coconut Kelz Election Special on BET. She has added MC to her roster and has hosted The Media 24 Awards and Hollard 40/40, and The Coconut Show - a stand-up comedy special featuring Donovan Goliath and Tats Nkonzo.

We discuss her journey to the creation of Coconut Kelz, her advice on becoming a good ally for minority groups, a pep talk on how GOOD it is to 'fail upwards', and we kill it at charades (just sayin').  

Let us know what you're looking forward to 'failing' at?
