First African woman to conquer Everest is back - and she's on Keri's couch
Updated | By Keri Miller
Saray Khumalo is a next level woman. As a mom to two boys, wife, and businesswoman she does incredible charity work and has just become the first black woman from Africa to summit Everest.
Listen to the interview or read the details below:
This wasn’t her first attempt on this trip, even though it
was a success for Saray, was filled with heartache as one of her team lost
his life on the mountain.
We chatted about climbing, why on earth she wants to do these crazy things, how she finds the time to train, if doing this makes her a bad mom, where she wees when on the mountain, and if that pic ‘traffic jam’ on the top of Everest is legit.

I think what stood out for me the most about Saray was this very simple statement: “There are 24 hours in a day. If you really want to do something, you will make time.”
It reminded me that actions will always speak louder than words.
Do what fuels you.
Saray N’kusi Khumalo is the first African woman to summit Mount Everest, in support of her cause of promoting access to education for African children. She reminds us that through courage and perseverance, we can achieve our highest ambitions, for the greater good of humanity. pic.twitter.com/ilKDLR8ZW5
