About me
‘Life is a journey and not a destination’ or so I’ve heard. This is part of my journey…What began as a simple blog to house my art eventually turned into a hub where my various thoughts are documented and displayed. I discuss life in general, my constant love affair with Zimbabwe and indeed the continent as a whole. I am absolutely in love with the entrepreneurial journey – constantly reading about it and trying in my own way to live it. I guess this blog documents my journey - walk with me for a while….
