Oh look, it's Wine o'Clock

June Shimuoshili
Television presenter and founder of Khaitago Lorraine Kondombolo will be joining the world on the movement to celebrate women with the empowerment platform Wine o'Clock.

Wine o'Clock is a no-holds-barred conversational platform where both women and men alike get together to engage and share their experiences in life in an unfiltered, authentic manner. The platform serves to address modern taboos with the old-age ritual of unwinding with peers.

Wine o'Clock was established to leave attendees with an insatiable thirst for inner peace. This is ensured by the meticulous selection of topics which resonate with Namibian men and women, yet transcend borders. Founder of Khaitago looks forward to their third edition and shared her past two events. The first two sessions featured the themes Body Unconscious and Lights On which allowed participants to uncover the unspoken.

“The Khaitago family has successfully held two Wine o'Clock sessions within this year which have proven to be very enlightening, informative and insightful and the demand for our platform is growing rapidly,” she said.

In relation to this month's theme of celebrating women, she expressed her thoughts on the topic around the dialogue to this month's theme for Wine o'Clock which is #IAMHER, which is about recognising the afflictions we ourselves as women, and the pain others have caused us as a result of words spoken upon them.

“Very often we are a mirror reflection of the certain things we love or spurn in another human being. Sometimes we just do not want to recognise those particular things in ourselves, so we find it easy to divert our energy into identifying it in others and making their flaws known to them in the most horrendous ways,” she said.

The event will take place at the Lighthouse Lifestyle Wellness Centre tomorrow from 18:00. Tickets are N$200.
