Film and television producer at Precious Joy Productions, co-producing a feature film on Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

At Precious Joy Productions, I co-founded a film and television production company focused on African and diaspora storytelling. I currently produce a feature film on the life and legacy of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, based on the authorized biography Rabble-Rouser for Peace.

I founded PeaceJam Georgia, where I coordinated international youth leadership initiatives, developed peace education workshops, and built partnerships between Georgian organizations and global peace networks. I also facilitate Charter for Compassion’s Global Reads programme and speak on youth leadership, media, and peacebuilding.

My media work includes producing educational multimedia content for Takalani Sesame at Ochre Media and writing for Huffington Post on social justice, culture, and global issues. I hold a Master’s in International Peace Studies from University for Peace, specializing in Media, Peace, and Conflict.
