About

For over 25 years, I've been telling stories—some in

newspapers read across East Africa and the Middle East,

others in a published book on customer service

excellence, and many more, through digital platforms that

connect communities across continents. Now, I'm excited

to bring that storytelling experience, combined with my

digital communications expertise, to the Global Narrative

Hive as your Digital Communications Consultant.

What draws me to your organisation isn't just the role itself—it's the

mission. Your commitment to building narrative power,

uplifting justice-centred storytelling, and strengthening

movement ecosystems resonates deeply with my own

journey. As a published writer who has spent decades

amplifying voices from underrepresented communities, I

understand that narratives aren't just about visibility.

They're about shifting power, expanding imagination, and

creating space for those who've been pushed to the

margins.

My background uniquely positions me for this consultancy.

As a freelance features writer for publications like New

Vision, Daily Monitor, and Gulf News, I've produced over

100 feature articles on social issues, politics, and

culture—stories that sparked public discourse and

challenged dominant narratives. I know how to transform

complex ideas into compelling content that resonates with

diverse audiences. I understand deadlines, editorial

standards, and the art of saying something meaningful in

limited space.

But storytelling alone isn't enough in today's digital

landscape. That's why I've invested in developing strong

visual communication skills through Canva, Adobe Suite,

and Figma. I create designs that are bold, accessible, and

purpose-driven—graphics that don't just look good but

serve the movement. Whether it's developing social media

content calendars, designing branded templates, or

adapting long-form materials into digestible digital formats,

I prioritise clarity, narrative coherence, and inclusive

design practices, including alt text, colour contrast, and

language that reflects care and solidarity.
