I went to the Fuck Up Nights that they have at Impact Hub Harare and the speakers for that edition were Tatenda Jakarasi, co-founder and C.E.O. of MunchZW, Ruvheneko and my mentor Thembe Khumalo. As my luck would have it, the main reason why I went was scheduled to speak last. Yay me. But it worked out because I learnt…
There are two things that I don’t respond to. The first one is texts in shorthand and the second one is my name spelt wrong. The latter really makes my blood flow backwards. Ever since I started taking an interest in digital marketing and personal branding, I’ve come to realise the importance of having my name spelt correctly. The Netherlands…
Imagine minding your own business just trying to get by and someone keeps roping you into a race that you didn’t sign up for. You’re walking in the middle of town, strolling and living the very best of your life and a sports commentator starts booming overhead and alas you’re in a marathon with other pedestrians just going about their…
I used to hate going to pick up my sisters from their school. If I didn’t love them so much, I’d have left them there or made them find their own way way home. You see, when you walk into that all girls’ school, they all look your way and god forbid they start to giggle. You can feel them…
Every story has a sensei that guides the main character through the struggle and helps them to their purpose. Even Jesus had the holy spirit. I have Thembe Khumalo.

In preparation for #Booked&Busy2019 I have taken initiative and listed some of the expectations that I have when I am booked for a speaking gig. To get paid I didn’t understand this when my mentor was trying to teach me about ‘riders.’ She explained to me that part of her ‘rider’ as a speaker is that, if people are paying…
The only thing I want in 2019 is female friends I can make money with. I need a girl squad around me that has influence and power like Taylor Swift in ‘Bad Blood.’ There are so many young women that I’ve been keeping a close eye on that are steady making moves despite the prevailing economic situation in Zimbabwe. These…
When you walk past windis they will try their luck on almost every woman that walks by at the bus terminal. They will do this day in, day out without fail and they never tire. How many “No’s” do you think they get per day? I’m sure they get a “Yes” once in a while but they will continue to…
Being an influencer is the ability to hook people into believing in you and your opinion to the extent of parting with their hard-earned money just because you sold them the dream. Why should we believe you? To influence adequately, you need to produce high quality content on a regular. This means it must be great to experience. At the…

She is a multi-award winning blogger and owns the Top Billing of Zimbabwean blogs. She is the current brand ambassador for Legacy Lifestyle and has featured in music videos such as Military Touch’s Chekeche and Ammara Brown’s Akiliz…
