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.

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).
