"Life itself is an adventure waiting to be explored. I am on a journey to complete the Explorers Grand Slam, which about 78 people in the world have done to date, and none of them are black females."

This will not be the first time Khumalo has made history; she embarked on a journey that would take her to the summit of Mount Everest and beyond, inspiring a generation in the process.

"On the summit, I remember thinking of my mother and how wrong she was about the sky being the limit. I was standing above the clouds. Just because the sky is what we can see doesn’t mean that that’s our limit. We have limitless potential."

Breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated fields, Saray is determined to inspire others to chase their dreams relentlessly. She knows that excellence knows no gender boundaries and that diversity and inclusion are the keys to a brighter future.

Her accomplishments have ignited conversations that challenge stereotypes and encourage everyone to embrace their unique talents. Khumalo's roots run deep in her African heritage and she recognises the importance of being socially conscious.

Her journey is a call to action, urging us all to have the courage to start. It's a reminder that success is 70% mental readiness and 30% physical preparedness. With her indomitable spirit and unwavering determination, Saray Khumalo is changing the narrative for the next generation, proving that the sky is not the limit – it's just the beginning.
