I use storytelling to humanise policy, bring data to life, and amplify voices often excluded from the sustainability conversation especially in the Global South.

​

I began my journey in journalism and political studies where I learnt about the importance of knowledge creation and preservation. Working in community broadcasting in Makhanda taught me that our responsibility as writers and broadcasters is to bridge the gap between the community and the institutions meant to serve them. 

​

When I joined Peeple Online, my goal was to diversify the content. It was to create space  for young Africans to speak on their own terms about climate, identity, land, and sustainability. The more I listened, the more I learnt. The more I asked, the less I knew and delved deeper. 

​

Sustainable storytelling, for me, is a commitment: to document truth, to archive dignity, and to co-own the narrative with those often left out of the room. Whether it’s an academic, a farmer, a healer, or a youth activist,  everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the solutions we imagine. That’s why my work focuses not only on what we say, but how we say it, who gets to say it, and where it gets remembered.

​

In a world rushing to simplify, I slow down to translate. To localise. To humanise. Because if our stories are not preserved, co-owned, and carried,  they are not sustainable.
