Personal profile

 The essence of my brand personality, I believe is not only versatile but consistent and widely spread across a spectrum of individual characteristics that define all my interests, talents, ideas, views and ultimately my vision. I engage with ideas through an extended calibre of creative mediums such as creative writing: poetry and feature writing, spoken word and other forms of art.

 A strategic thinker in mind and a people’s person at heart, I believe I am still work in process under construction for an impactful and successful career in the marketing and communications industry. My values revolve around  creating and building brands and empires that epitomise power, creativity, strength, quality, originality and style.

I have a deep understanding and a lasting passion towards social responsibility and development. I believe that this quality will be reflected in all stages of my entrepreneurial endeavours. I’m driven by purpose and inspired by the extraordinary diversity reflected by society. I am a global citizen and very analytical in thinking, that is why there is still a wealth of materials to be conceptualised and authored that will depict an array of controversial and thought provoking  subjects thus formulating a unique and authentic voice.

I have a mission to travel the continent and the globe on a journey to explore an atmosphere of different human interest stories in foreign communities with the confidence that it will add and sharpen my life purpose while in progress cultivating effective working plans, sustainable initiatives, educational and informational programmes and ultimately taking giant leaps to achieving a vision of shaping up Africa’s image economically and socially through the media: creating content for documentaries, current affairs shows, concept magazines and other tools of communications.

As a young South African woman I am very passionate about issues affecting young women both in the continent and around the world, an umbrella of life threatening diseases, Gender related issues, empowerment dynamics and other socio economic and lifestyle challenges facing young people today. One of my goals in this regard is to bring forth through the power of radio and the influence of television content that will break barriers between social classes, allow a flow of national dialogue and perhaps champion over the critical issues facing South Africa and African communities. To effectively assist in implementing this facet of my vision I plan to undertake intensive research necessary to execute relevant intervention strategies and development plans and become a catalyst for positive change: one individual and one community at a time.

With a clear vision, mission, plan, purpose and God given power and authority I believe in my potential to practicalize all my dreams. Through strong will power, determination and discipline I plan to graciously accomplish all these and leave doors open for others with similar aspirations to continue their desired legacy.
