I am inspired by the depth of undiscovered talent that is in my community, there are so many stories to tell through theatre, dance, photography,poetry,sculpture, paintings and so much more. My vision is to have the world have but a glimpse of the majesty that resides within the Bulawayo arts community.

I started my beadwork as a hobby 12 years asgo and over the years turned it into a business. I had to finance it myself and also had the help of my family and friends.
