Pause With Noku – Upcoming Episode!

I had the privilege of sitting down with Amber, a Freelance Illustrator, Digital Artist, Designer, Author, and Writer who is currently studying at Stellenbosch University. Her passion for art, culture, and languages is truly inspiring.

Our conversation once again confirmed this truth: career guidance starts with knowing yourself and your talents. Amber shared how she felt unsure about pursuing academics after matric, because she was already walking in her purpose since high school.

That deeply resonated with me. As a community developer, I also once asked myself: “Why must I study for something that I am already doing?” And guess what? Both Amber and I ended up pursuing academics in the very things we were already practicing.

This episode is a reminder to parents, educators, and caregivers: guide young people by recognizing their gifts early and exposing them to opportunities that align with their passions.

Breakthrough Alert!

Yesterday, I finally recorded my first conversation for my brand-new YouTube channel! 🎉 I'm thrilled to share this milestone with you all, and I'm excited for what's to come.

But here's the thing: it wasn't easy. For years, I've been talking about creating content, but fear and excuses held me back. 😊 Even when opportunities presented themselves, I hesitated. I actually shared my vision with Dr. Norah earlier this year, and she was incredibly supportive, offering access to her space and equipment. If I'm being honest, I didn't pursue it at the time... because fear got the best of me. 😊

But sometimes, all it takes is a nudge (or a well-timed comment 😄) to push us forward. And that's exactly what happened. A huge thank you to Kriel, the film guru, who dropped a truth bomb at the Triga event last month: "There's no better time to live than this... It takes one to switch on the camera and talk." 💡 Those words resonated deeply, and I'm grateful for the reminder.

This new chapter is all about extending my work into the digital space, staying true to my values and passions. I'm looking forward to sharing more with you all soon! Stay tuned for the reveal of my YouTube channel and let's connect!



Let me know if this fits perfectly!

The Future is Bright: Reflections on the Young Entrepreneurs Competition

As I reflect on my experience as a judge at the young entrepreneurs competition at Stellenbosch University's Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences (EMS), I'm still filled with a sense of hope and optimism. The creativity, passion, and determination displayed by these Grade 10 learners was truly inspiring.

What struck me most was the potential for positive impact that these young entrepreneurs have. By empowering them with the right resources, guidance, and support, I have no doubt that they will go on to achieve great things and make a real difference in their communities.

As a society, we need to continue to nurture and support the entrepreneurial spirit of our young people. By doing so, we can unlock a wealth of innovation, creativity, and talent that will drive growth, job creation, and positive change.

Let's keep the conversation going! What do you think is the most important thing we can do to support young entrepreneurs in South Africa? Share your thoughts!
