I’m on a mission to become the best darn blogger south of the Sahara, “best” is relative I know, but a girl has to have ambition.
So here are a few highlights of the past few years (I just picked the most exciting here):
Graduating with an honours degree in Psychology from the University of Zimbabwe – 2017 Speaking on Creativity and Content Creation at WordCamp Harare – 2019 Attending the World Youth Forum, in Egypt, Sharm El Sheik – 2019 Winning Best Personal Blog 2020 with the Zim Blog Awards Publishing my very first (free) e-book, “How to Manage Your Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic” – 2020
Career-wise, there are a lot of things I’m still figuring out, but you should know that I write… A LOT. This part I don’t need to figure out,
I love writing, and creating…and writing some more.
How do I use my writing skills (and earn an income)?
- Professional blogging
- Social Media Management
- Story Writing Workshops (training)
- Editing and proofreading
Here are the highlights of some of the work I’ve done.

Social Media Management
Whilst I’ve worked in various organizations, taking on different roles, most of them included writing copy, scripts, articles, stories, and social media content.
Some of the bigger projects I managed & online education I attained:

My Bad-ass Blog
This is the blog that won the award! *hardly containing my grin*
I launched it in 2017, sharing my insights on adulting. The main focus of this blog is Career Development, Personal Development, and Mental Well-being for young adults.
It’s based on my personal experiences… basically what I’ve learnt in my short life.
I publish a new blog post once every week, on whichever day strikes my fancy (unreliable I know, but I’m not getting paid for this you know).
