Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To love and be loved!
ABOUT ME
I am playful and I love to dance. I love children and healing through creative expression. I have an African spirit and an English accent. I am open-minded and love connecting with people from all walks of life.
I was born in Malawi and spent happy childhood years there. I then lived in Swaziland until I went to the University of London to study theatre. I worked as an actress with a theatre company, trained at a drama academy to teach young children.. and then returned to home soil in Africa again. I now juggle many different creative projects, through my creative arts company Creative Beans (www.creativebeans.weebly.com) and through my work for Clowns Without Borders South Africa (www.cwbsa.org). I do what I love and I love what I do.
