TO BE THE HOPE WE WANT TO SEE
Carel Kruger CEO
I am so inspired by our INUKA Members. Our recent SQ1 events in Cape Town and Johannesburg can be captured in this song by Jo Black (translated), which reads as follows: "Hope ? What is hope ? It is the wish for the sun to rise again. Hope. What is hope ? It is that peace comes to us. Hope. It is the togetherness before a World Cup final. Hope. It is the language of the heart. It is the spirit of a person who shouts, "Bring back the hope! There's a war inside me; It is for you who fights against yourself. I tell you; you are good enough. So, bring back the hope. You are the light in the dark. You are the beacon that stands on the hill. I see the person you can still become. So, bring back the hope!" Every Member celebrated echoes our ability to impact those around us. TO BE THE HOPE WE WANT TO SEE. Every success story testifies to our Members' incredible hard work, SELF-DISCOVERY, DEDICATION , and COMMITMENT. Together, INUKA and our INUKA Members have gone from strength to strength. Working together, we have launched and embraced the following: - SIMO, your online business portal, has enhanced the ability to place orders for bulks, view balances, purchase vouchers, and find beautiful images in our image gallery. - We have launched exciting new products: Relief Remedy Rub, Car & Wardrobe Diffuser, Bloom the Room Spray, Lipstick-removing Oil, Ke Nako for Her, and Ke Nako gender-neutral. - Internally we have continued with our leadership development programs to intentionally become better, to build the next generation of leaders in INUKA. - We have also continued to deploy automation and digitalization technologies to improve our ability to serve our Members. All the above items are to EMPOWER you, ease how you do business, and help you grow your business.
I am excited about a new wave of being AWAKE, being VUKA. VUKA to opportunities, VUKA to Possibilities, and VUKA to ignite a movement of discovery and hope. The example you are setting for those around you is exactly what is needed. Our Members' growth journey to first be a leader of self, and then a leader of others is evident and powerful. One of our Members shared her story at high tea. This is a fantastic story, and I hope it inspires you to be your best self as much as it inspired me. This Member is a policewoman; she became an Emerald leader in October 2023. When she started the business, her commanding officer was skeptical about this INUKA business. She persevered, showed determination, and constantly and authentically showed up. Months later, the commanding officer complimented her on her fantastic attitude. He commented that she is one of the mentally strong individuals who has good men- tal health. She shared with me that the habits that helped with her mental health stemmed from being in our INUKA business and planning, working with money, developing a plan, sticking to your goals, choosing how you stand up, and trying again. I call upon every Member to continue to lead themselves well. By leading yourself, you are setting an example for those around you and raising the expectations for those around you. You are improving yourself, your family, your community, and Africa!
Keep making a difference,
Carel Kruger
