About Us
What is The SiSTEM?
Not just a podcast; it's The SiSTEM: Building the sisterhood one stem at a time.
By women, for women.
The SiSTEM connects women everywhere in a network that nurtures, support, uplifts, educate, empower, validate, and advocate.
Hosting a podcast every Tuesday (12pm GMT and 7:00am CT), Camoy and Kemone discuss topics important to women in an effort to build on global sisterhood.
Every Wednesday (10:00pm GMT and 4:00pm CT), they can be found on YouTube discussing a topic of interest and again on Thursday (10:00pm GMT and 4:00pm CT) hosting The SiSTEM Reacts, where they react to videos that can be found online.
This year, there is much to look forward to, from the duo giving each other weekly challenges, ticking off things from their live bucket lists, and much more.
Get into it by following The SiSTEM.

Camoy is teaching individuals, families, and communities how to enjoy life again while overcoming adversity. Yushima Camoy Cherry Burks is a force to be reckoned with personally and professionally.
"I love what I do, empowering clients to accomplish goals for their relationships and lives, is an insurmountable task that I take very seriously."
KEMONE
Kemone S-G Brown-Tshabalala is simply multifaceted. She is an entrepreneur, researcher, public speaker, human rights activist, coach, trainer, and all round lover of life.
She runs a UK based book publishing company, which also provides author services to the public, from book editing to coaching authors through the writing process.

She has helped to launch over 30 successful businesses to date, and is presently busy helping others. She helps companies improve their internal and external communication strategies through a wide variety of training programs.
Naturally inquisitive, and given her background in mathematics and research, Kemone can often be found conducting research whether for one of her own projects or for a business she's been commissioned by. And as if that's not enough to fill one person's day, Kemone is also an international keynote speaker, specialising in domestic abuse and violence, LGBT+ rights and life, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), HIV/Aids and lesbian and bisexual women, women's and children rights, and gender and equality.
Kemone is passionate about giving back and donates to individuals living in poverty and the charities that serve them. She believes that education is indeed the key to success and helps children in her native Jamaica, by donating to their education financially and through mentorship.
She is also a published author, and is currently in the process of finalising her third title, which will be released in 2023.
