About Me

I have been a vegetarian since 2006 and then a vegan from 2013. Through one on one advocacy and my artistic work I have been able in the past to introduce a plant based diet to several individuals that I have managed to work with. I am very particular about my diet and health as well as being passionate about animals. I bring my experience as a community activist on several social change issues and I translate that knowledge into effective veganism advocacy in my daily life. My values are a better, healthy and habitable planet for human beings and non human beings. Ever since I became vegan I strive to know more about the lifestyle and a variety of plant based recipes that are sustainable for someone based in Africa. I am trained in Program management, monitoring and Evaluation as well as Community Theatre and have been working in this field since 1992. I have experience in community mobilization and engagement on a variety of issues that affect them.

I established the VegHub Zimbabwe a not for profit plant based diet advocacy organisation in 2022 and have been struggling to get a seed grant. Thrive Philanthropy recognised our efforts and we currently building our organisation and the movement in Zimbabwe. We will be hosting the first National Vegan Indaba (symposium) in October 2024 powered by Thrive Grants,
