About Me...

I am a multimedia journalist passionate about illuminating the interlink between climate change and social justice issues like health, poverty, migration and education across interdisciplinary demographic divides in the Global South.

I am a holder of a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Journalism and Media Studies. Currently, I am working on an intergenerational archive of everyday stories of Black people in Southern Africa with the aim to expatiate and disrupt racialised neoliberalism – and its dire consequences.

My work has been featured by international publications like DW, Ours to Save, Footprint Magazine, national publications like Chronicle as well as local outlets like Innercity Gazette and Hillbrow Radio & TV - among others.
