Inonge Khabele

Inonge is the Chief Visionary Officer of the Ko Team. She leads the team to maintain the integrity of the vision of the Ko ecosystem. She researches, conducts interviews, and fundraises. Inonge specializes in storytelling as a powerful tool for personal, business and societal transformation, and collaborates with the training and development and marketing teams to ensure language and vision are consistent and congruent. She also curates and maintains Ko’s history.

Inonge hopes that her writings, interviews, and art move and cause people to think, dream, or simply want to make art for themselves. She loves storytelling, especially folk-tales, fairy tales, fables, and urban legends, and considers it the original human technology that evolved with opposable thumbs. Inonge believes that through conscious examination of the narratives we are given to live by, we can reframe them to live life more purposefully and in harmony with others. Approaching others with a beginner’s mind and an open heart is the key to solving the problems in life. She loves to make things with her hands and is an avid gardener in Spring and Summer, and an equally avid painter in the Fall and Winter.

Inonge is a Co-chair of the Austin-Maseru Sister Cities Committee of Austin Sister Cities, Intl., and a member of the Austin Chapter of Jack & Jill of America, Inc.
