Across these initiatives, I bring energy, empathy, and execution discipline, turning ideas into experiences that strengthen culture, alignment, and impact. I’ve continuously evolved our internal platform In the Loop—introducing new layouts, sections, and human‑centred features (e.g., “A Day in the Life”) to deepen connection and recognition. These enhancements, alongside structured internal comms, have supported learning, onboarding, and ongoing capability‑building. I am also a lead for a CSI initiative that champions period poverty where, as an organisation, we have support over 1500 girls across 6 provinces.

About Rising Star

The Rising Star Programme, operated by BlackBark Productions, has been established for the purposes of recognising, celebrating and connecting young talented people who have a capacity for achievement and success and who contribute in an inspirational manner to the future of our nation. The qualities that elevate Rising Stars to the top go beyond performance and technical excellence. Rising Stars are polished, brilliant individuals with tremendous promise and great talent who excel for reasons that go far beyond their technical abilities alone.

Talented people make things happen, are highly committed to achieving goals, innovate very rapidly, and create a great deal of value (for companies and/or themselves) when their talent is spotted and harnessed.

The Programme aims to be a significant and sustainable vehicle through which organisations, our country and our continent can identify and nurture these “organisational and national assets” who are set to play a key role in shaping the future of our country and our continent.

The Rising Star Programme is establishing a living community of young African talent that will be developed, mentored and provided with platforms for development and communication, therefore enabling them to become role models, opinion leaders and the inspiration for other future African Talent.
