On this episode, we had an enlightening conversation with Tarisiro Fundira, a recent graduate at the Manchester University UK and the co-founder behind CreateZim, a community organisation which actively supports people in Zimbabwe on their journey toward positive mental health.

From the importance of inter-generational collaboration to the role that religious institutions can play in promoting good mental health, we discussed it all and gathered incredible insight on how destigmatizing mental health issues in Zimbabwe and across Africa by engaging young people and utilizing online platforms can be a really effective solution to addressing this silent epidemic.

Tarisiro is a rising Zimbabwean changemaker who also enjoys writing, reciting spoken word poetry, and providing mentorship on communication skills to students coming from low-social economic backgrounds through his role as a senior mentor at Debatemate.

On this episode, we sit down with Vuyi Chaza, the founder and visionary behind the Zimbabwean-based digital media platforms, Visuals by Vuyi and FVDN, to engage in an enlightening conversation around the power of authenticity, the necessity of collaboration, and the business side of digital media in Zimbabwe and broader African context.

At 28 Vuyi Chaza still has an affinity for cartoons and cereal on a Saturday morning - which inadvertently inspires her artwork. An illustrator, graphic designer and digital growth consultant, Vuyi has successfully worked with over 80 design and digital clients in Zimbabwe and South Africa over the course of three years. After a brief stint in Cape Town, Vuyi is back in Zimbabwe and cooking up some fresh ideas on how to help creatives and hustlers who run small business too!
