Finally, on the 30th of November, I attended a Netflix event. It was an exciting occasion, but due to my late arrival, I was only able to experience two rides, which, admittedly, left me feeling a little disappointed.

However, the rest of the event—especially the program curated by Netflix—was visually stunning and full of energy. The setup was impressive, with the kind of

The very next day, November 29th, I had the absolute joy of attending the Bring Your Pack Dance Challenge at Carlton Centre. Oh my goodness, let me just say—I love, love, love it! Dance has always been a form of communication for me, and this event truly demonstrated how powerful the art form can be. I’m a proud Pantsula through and through, and this challenge brought out the best of the style, with participants pouring their hearts and souls into their performances. It was i

On the 28th of November, I had the privilege of attending the Black Coffee Foundation Conference, an event that provided both industry insight and opportunities for networking. It was one of those masterclass-style conferences where a lineup of impressive panelists shared valuable information—information that many of us could easily find online, but still, there was something distinct about the way these experts shared their knowledge in real-time. Though much of the content

I had the pleasure of attending the G20 Music and Lifestyle Expo on the 14th and 15th of November, and what an unforgettable experience it turned out to be! As a blend of music, culture, and lifestyle, the event offered something for everyone—though I must say, it felt a little quieter on the first day.

I had the absolute time of my life at Back to the City this past Saturday, October 11th. Where do I even begin? It was a whole vibe from start to finish, and I’m still buzzing from the energy that filled the air! Let’s talk about the Freedom Stage first. Artists like Iphupho Lika Biko were setting the stage on fire, but unfortunately, I missed their performance because the rain came down hard.
