Another Live Creative Mixer recorded in Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪 with my friend. We discussed the topic ‘Collaboration over Competition & Confidence in Your Craft’.
Talked through how creatives can thrive in today’s fast-evolving creative space. Explored the power of collaboration, mastering your craft, shared values, partnership etiquette, and knowing when to walk away from misaligned collaborations.
I personally shared my experience into building confidence in my work, navigating imposter syndrome, choosing consistency, committing to continuous learning, taking intentional risks, and leaning into community.
A timely reminder that creativity opens doors, but clarity, confidence, and collaboration sustain growth.

In this special Creative Mixer session from Rwanda 🇷🇼, I teamed up with my friend Olawale for a practical and honest conversation on creativity as both a calling and a business. ‘Wale spoke on the business of creativity; discovering your creative superpower, moving from passion to profit, niching down, building scalable systems, and becoming a top-of-mind brand.
I shared insights on the creative process; why creativity is a learnable process, the role of structure and self-awareness, collaborating effectively, generating ideas, and navigating impostor syndrome. We had live Q&A and real-life conversations with creatives across the community.
This episode is for creatives who want clarity, confidence, and direction.

In 2016, I lost my parents’ money to a Ponzi scheme. I expected anger — but what I got was love, grace, and forgiveness. That moment mirrored the heart of Easter.In this episode, I share how that experience helped me understand what Jesus did for us — choosing the cross over condemnation, love over rejection. Easter isn’t just a season; it’s a reminder of mercy we didn’t earn but freely received.
