They’re the epitome of effortless chic. They’re the ones driving a sleek SUV, carrying a delectable designer handbag, and maintaining a demeanour that screams confidence. Prim, proper and the picture of ‘Girl Boss.’ They easily look like they have it all together, but beyond the polished exterior lies a world of contradictions, aspirations, and a love for the things that bring any woman joy. The Corporate Queen; the diverse, multi-faceted woman who leads at the office and at home, but also revels in the joys of the little things. Often mistaken for mere socialites, these women are more than what meets the eye.
They juggle demanding careers, family life, and a relentless pursuit of self-improvement. By day, they're the corporate powerhouses, closing deals and climbing the corporate ladder. By evening, they transform into domestic goddesses, orchestrating dinner parties and ensuring their homes are Instagram-worthy; whilst still being the ones to be the perfect Saturday-night-out life of the party! Romanticizing their lives is key to their existence. They're the ones you see sipping chai lattes at upscale cafes around hidden nooks of Gabs, with Instagram feeds decorated with a curated collection of designer fashion and luxury travel. Behind closed doors, though, they're all just craving relaxation and escapism, in the most convenient ways with plenty of variety and choice. When the day ends, and the house is quiet with “alone time” on the horizon, what does this woman who has it all watch? Filled with options galore and convenience, DStv Stream and Showmax are the perfect accessories for this Corporate Queen who wants to end her hectic day with just the right content streamed with ease. In honour of celebrating the Queens that run our offices, our homes and the world-at-large, we’re sharing our favourite picks to help keep our powerhouses, entertained, relaxed and satisfied on their downtime. The Best of the Binge Nothing goes better with the occasional glass of red wine than binge-watching guilty-pleasure reality series such as Married at First Sight-Mzansi on Mzansi Magic (Channel 161) or The Mommy Club: Sugar and Spice on Showmax. For the woman who wants the intrigue and slow-suspense of drama series, M-Net (Channel 102) has you sorted with the likes of House of Gods and Allegiance. Or if you’re a sucker for nostalgia and want to reminisce on the coming-of-age classics that shaped your yesteryear, Showmax is the place to be with HBO’s Just Like That, and hit classic Sex and the City series, which follows the topsy-turvy love lives of four 30something year olds in New York City circa the late 90s.
