Sinikiwe Dhliwayo on Reprogramming the Self-Care Narrative

Reprogramming the Self-Care Narrative // Wellness Founder Sinikiwe Dhliwayo

“I think the word self-care has been grossly overused,” she says. “To me, taking care of myself is anything that I need to do to maintain my wellbeing.”

For Dhliwayo, this means simply paying rent on time. “Without paying my rent, I would seize to have a place to live. I am grateful [to] just [have] the ability to pay my bills and do seemingly mundane things, as I haven’t always had the ability to consistently do those things,” she says.”
