Whenever there's a call for an accelerator program one of the questions creatives tend to have is, "Will this be worth the time investment?" That's one of the questions we posed to Aurra Kawanzaruwa (@ms_aurra) - one of the implementation partners for the Creative DNA Accelerator Program when we got a chance to speak to her.

We interviewed Aurra and the 10 Creative DNA Seed Awardees. The content was made in partnership with @hausofstone_showroom, @southernafricaarts, @britishcouncil, @fashconvo, @ellenrockstudio & @africaisdigitalzw!

"Express yourself through hard work!" One of the more fascinating aspects of our interview with Rumbidzai Matemachani (the designer behind @runganorwedu) was how efficient she was in her answers. Rumbi doesn't waste words! 😂

One of the things we loved most about talking to Sibonginkosi Makaya (the 🇿🇼 designer behind @cecacouture) was how articulate she is and the clarity of her vision. You can see it in this short video and it's absolutely contagious - you talk to Sibo and you just want to go out and do things after! 😁😂

You can't do it all alone. The earlier you accept that the better your creative journey will be. In this short clip from our interview Ropafadzo Mapira (the 🇿🇼 designer behind @soleil.zw) acknowledges the value community has played in her story.
