Radio personality Dineo Ranaka opened up about how an almost embarrassing blunder at a gig turned into a heartwarming occurrence between her and another DJ, Hazel.
Dineo reflects on humbling experience
A popular female DJ, Hazel, was of great help to Dineo Ranaka. The BET Network podcaster mentioned how she was booked to MC and DJ at a gig for Truelove's All A Woman Needs event.
She mentioned how she had forgotten her USB at home. But with the help of Hazel, who gave her a USB, she was able to play at the event.

"I had retired my USBs and took them out of my DJ bag, and placed them in a safe place at home. I took my DJ bag to the booking but ZERO USBs," Ranaka exclaimed.
"I then realised that there is no USB. Stress out, I asked fellow DJ, @hazelonig, if I could use her USBs, and she let me. I have not been so humbled in a while!"
Ranaka thanks Hazel for the help
Dineo Ranaka then reached out to Hazel and gave her a shoutout on her post. She mentioned how important it is to always ask for help if you need it most. She also mentions of the importance of women to be of help to one another.
"Moral of the story. Trust your humility and ask for help. Help is always willing to help, ONLY if it is truly needed. Also, women really do support each other. THANK YOU HAZEL!"
Hazel lauds Dineo
Responding to Dineo's sweet message, Hazel said Dineo did a great job in hiding the fact that she was not using her own USB.
"If ska jumpisa was a person, it would be you Dineo, you carried that set so beautifully and got us all on our feet, nobody would’ve guessed what happened backstage."
Hazel exclusively told Briefly News why she thinks it is important for women in the industry to help one another, emphasizing the challenges posed by its predominantly male presence.
"One of my biggest irks is the “women hate each other” narrative. By building close working relationships with female peers, through networking and collaborations, you’ll find success and unlock greatness. It takes courage and commitment for a woman to come into a predominantly male industry and win, women in entertainment are built differently and I respect that, it’s not easy, but there’s enough room for those who are deserving to thrive."
She also mentioned how she does not see any females in the industry as competition.
"I don’t view any women in this industry as my competition I see them as people I want to build genuine bonds of friendship and/or mentorship with. I’m inspired by every woman’s journey, and I try to learn as much as I can from them, particularly their resilience and comebacks. Whatever I can do to make it easy for the next woman to get to the next level, I will gladly do it, including allowing you to use my USBs and earphones if you forgot yours, I will do that. There’s no downside to kindness, particularly to a fellow woman, it may earn you some respect and lifelong sisterhood, and I’m here for it."
