Hello, introducing me!

Welcome to My African Technicolour Coat where we'll explore faith, family, politics, economics and all things in between through the eyes of an African living in the diaspora

Hello! Hi! Howzit! Heita!

My name is Olga Meshoe Washington and I am a wife, mom, daughter, sister, Christian, Zionist, attorney, speaker, author, … I’ll stop there as I wear a lot of hats!

I am blessed to have traversed very diverse and interesting paths in this journey called “life” and have, in the twists and turns of the journey, accumulated interesting networks and gleaned different perspectives. I am a proud South African and even prouder African currently residing in the great United States of America. 

I almost always have something to say on a plethora of topics and am regularly challenged to share my thoughts outside of my immediate circle because perhaps someone out there is waiting to be inspired, encouraged, challenged and/or entertained (I can be funny - hahaha) as I share my stories. So, here we are. 

Welcome to My African Technicolour Coat, podcasts and articles that will explore faith, family, politics, economics and all things in between through the eyes of an African living in the diaspora! 

This is me stepping out and trying something new. I know that this fiery red, type-A, perfectionist personality is going to be stretched, humbled, and learn a lot. I am thrilled that you will be on the ride with me. Here’s to an amazing trek in which God will get all the glory!
