In 2024, Morongwe (Mo) Mokone, co-founder and creative force behind Mo’s Crib, was named the Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award winner, a recognition that honoured her fearless innovation, leadership, and commitment to building a purpose-driven business rooted in sustainability. As her reign comes to an end, she steps into a new chapter: serving as a jury member for the 2025 Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Awards.
For Mo, winning this award was more than a moment — it was a milestone.
“Being named a Bold Woman reminded me that showing up fully as myself in business and in leadership; is not only enough, it’s powerful,” she reflects. “This recognition didn’t just celebrate our story at Mo’s Crib; it gave me the confidence to lead with even more conviction, courage, and clarity.”
Now, she is calling on all trailblazing South African female entrepreneurs to enter the 2025 Bold Woman Awards, an opportunity to celebrate your impact, expand your reach, and join a community of visionary women shaping the future.
As a judge this year, she’s looking for women who embody bold leadership: women who are resilient, innovative, and creating lasting impact within their industries and communities. Her advice is: “Be clear on your impact. Tell your story authentically. Think beyond your business. Confidence is key and enjoy the process.”
The Bold Woman Award by Veuve Clicquot doesn’t just shine a spotlight on success; it amplifies the voices of women who are driving change, opening doors, and breaking barriers. This platform is a powerful reminder that representation matters, that women’s stories deserve to be heard, celebrated, and uplifted.
Mo’s journey from winner to judge is a testament to what’s possible when women lead boldly. The award has amplified her story, expanded her network, and reinforced the value of staying true to her vision.
