The one with Qaanitah•Hunter

What happens when someone who has spent her life asking difficult questions of power, politics, and society… finally turns the question inward?

On an upcoming episode of The Interview with H, I sit down with Qaanitah Hunter — award-winning journalist, editor, author, and one of South Africa’s most respected media voices.

But this conversation isn’t about headlines.

It’s about the woman behind them.

We go back to where it all began — her childhood, her upbringing, and the early moments that shaped her voice, her values, and her deep sense of justice. We explore how faith, identity, and lived experience quietly laid the foundation for the fearless journalist the country would later come to know.

Qaanitah opens up about the unseen cost of carrying national stories, the pressure of high-stakes newsrooms, and why mental health in media is not just a conversation — it’s a necessity. She shares the personal journey that led her to create The Debrief Network — a space designed to help people pause, reflect, and process in a world that rarely allows us to breathe.

We also speak honestly about weight loss, body image, self-worth, and the emotional layers that often sit beneath physical change. Not from a place of perfection — but from lived truth.

At the heart of this episode is her upcoming book, Why Am I Like This?, recently launched — a question so many of us ask in silence, and one she explores with vulnerability, insight, and courage.

This episode is not about politics.

It’s about people.

It’s about unlearning, healing, and becoming.

If you’ve ever questioned yourself, carried weight you couldn’t name, or wondered whether healing is really possible — this conversation is for you.
