About Venessa Benade

Owner Ekurhuleni East

Venessa is a wife, mother, grandmother, peoples’ person, adventurous, entrepreneur, storyteller, and passionate about self-improvement and self-empowerment.

For the past 17 years, Venessa has been working in a corporate environment understanding daily challenges and pressures.

With her background in early childhood education, her lifelong dream got answered when she heard about Girl-School and then got the opportunity to buy the Girl-School Ekurhuleni East franchise.

She understands the importance of teaching young ladies the skills they need to thrive in a world full of negativity. She is committed to helping young ladies develop the confidence and self-assurance they need to succeed.

Her approach to improving young ladies’ image is holistic and comprehensive, focusing not only on the physical aspects of self-presentation but with her guidance; young girls, tweens & teens will indeed find their identity and develop into confident young women with added focus on inner beauty, self-worth, and self-love.

She is excited to be part of Girl-School.
