You'll recognise Zoë Brown not just for that megawatt smile, but thanks to the good energy she channels every morning as one of the hosts of SABC3's Expresso show. In her own words, "I'm someone who's always evolving, never static," and the woman has undoubtedly made big moves in the broadcasting industry. This dynamic personality has defined and redefined her trajectory in the media landscape; recently departing from the radio airwaves, she has embraced the freedom to reinvent herself.
Reflecting on her upbringing. Zoë (33) recounts her transition from a follower to a trailblazer. Moving from Cape Town to Durban in her early teens marked a pivotal moment where she discovered her voice and authenticity. Even with financial challenges, her parents instilled in her the power of creative thinking, a lesson she carries to this day. Despite linguistic hurdles transitioning from Afrikaans to English, Zoë personified resilience and adaptability.
"My journey has been about embracing change and finding strength in adversity," Zoë recalls. Moving from Cape Town to Durban, it's where I truly discovered my voice and the power of authenticity through simply embracing who I am and being myself." Her academic journey led her to Stellenbosch University, where she studied international relations and was initially enamoured by the allure of print media. As the landscape shifted towards digital platforms, Zoë pivoted towards radio, a decision shaped by her passion for multimedia storytelling. From humble beginnings hosting the post-midnight graveyard shift' to landing a full-time daytime radio slot, Zoë's journey epitomises dedication and perseverance.
