I’d applied to do a TEDx talk cause I’d really wanted to talk on what I’d learnt throughout my 7 year career at adidas on “consumer vs. community” building and even more so on how I’d maneuvered within corporate culture as someone still in their 20’s, with no mentors, etc.

Talking to promoters in Berlin, Nuremberg, etc. there’s an increased demand for South African DJs and musicians alike though bookings are rare due to VISAs, so I’m hoping that changes for many of you because you’re deserving of these opportunities, and they’re plentiful.
