Please provide examples of how you have shown passion and had positive impact in your career
(Approx 100-300 words)

My passion is rooted in purpose: I build businesses that solve real problems while creating opportunities for people who are often overlooked.

At FortunIQ Fuels, my passion shows up daily. I am a woman leading in a male-dominated industry, and I use that position intentionally. I have built a verified network of independent truck owners, many of whom are small-scale operators who previously struggled to access consistent work. By treating them as partners, not vendors, I have created sustainable income streams for their families while ensuring my clients receive reliable, certified fuel. That is positive impact measured in both profit and dignity.

my passion is focused on FortunIQ's next chapter. I am preparing to enter the biofuel and EV charging infrastructure space because I believe South Africa's energy future must be sustainable and inclusive. I don't just want to participate in the Just Energy Transition, I want to ensure that black women and small entrepreneurs are at the table.

My passion is not loud. It is consistent, action-driven, and rooted in leaving every person and business I touch better than I found them.

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.
