POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A collection of creatives met in one space, shared stories, incredible wine, unbelievable food and left feeling full in more ways that one.

This night happened because of the kindness and thoughtfulness of @spacesafrica.world @rupertandrothschild. •

For those of us who are lucky to be exposed to so many forms of beauty everyday - a night like this stood out. There was something different about this space - it was the people in it.

Every single person was talented, kind and listened. We all spoke for hours eating and drinking wine, we laughed at our stories and listened to the beautiful music by @whoisleko. We then got to experience one of the most unique and beautiful fashions shows by @_rareblaq. Thank you so much @spacesafrica.world and @rupertandrothschild for hosting us and giving us a once in a lifetime experience we will all remember. ❤️❤️

#cr8torweekafrica 2026 by @cr8torcon | 🇿🇦 Jozi / Gauteng, South Aaaaaaahhh / Mzansi 🇿🇦

I come back from a week in Johannesburg even more convinced of my home country, and the African continent as a whole, as one of the most important global cultural engines now and in the future.

I have been talking about the rise of the Global South since forever. It’s clear that these territories must no longer be referred to as ‘emerging’ markets, but should be taken seriously by brands as ‘growth’ markets.

It was inspiring to connect with this new (and free) generation of creators and creatives across music, art, design and style. Proud of their heritage and cultures, reimagining creativity for today and tomorrow, their work firmly rooted in Africa, innovative and relevant for a global audience.

But this time, it is important that these homegrown resources are not extracted, but invested in and protected, as it spreads and influences globally.

I feel excited and confident about these creative and cultural communities being fostered because its is in the hands of people like @_ambidextrx_ and his incredible team - @_rooat @nalediled @siya_molemela and @nathi_n.s (missing from the pic) - all deeply motivated to build a better industry, connecting and collaborating with others to drive the thing forward, with care and intention.

I feel honoured and privileged to share my knowledge through my book #cultureledbrands, a keynote and on a panel of heavyweights: @sunshineshibs @therealdjkenzhero @pure_jeaniuss and Andrew Knocker, moderated by the wonderful @lootlove2. The invite-only audience for day 1 were keen to learn and asked loads of questions…and it worked both ways.

I learned a LOT from my fellow panelists, sharing our stories and experiences across culture, creativity and corporate, at the intersection of the Global North and Global South.

Across the rest of #CWA, the energy built and continued…will share more soon 🔋📈

THE LIVE PREMIER — the live premiere of the album went a little like this…

Thank you for all the beautiful people that came through in the rain to share this moment with us - the past few weeks have been nothing short of surreal. I’m forever indebted…

PS — It’s not a cult, it’s an album

A heartfelt thank you to our brave friends at @robertsonsspice and @pernodricard_za for standing with us and backing the arts. Your support means the world!

It’s not groove. It’s culture!
