We are excited to be partnering with @kaymediaafrica for this year’s edition of @scriptsandbars. This year’s conversation will be facilitated by our very own @sapi.bachi

Meet our speakers :

@samantharumbidzaivazhure established Carnelian Heart Publishing Ltd to publish her own books, where she advocates for equality, mental health, the welfare of women and children, empowerment of women and survivors of abuse, the welfare of immigrants, amongst other causes. She decided to expand the publishing business by offering her services to other authors, and by helping specific groups of writers to get onto the global scene, in order to amplify their voices as part of her advocacy work. Through this platform, Samantha seeks the most authentic voices from the most unlikely places, to bring a new flavour of story-telling to global readers.

@selinazigomo is the Thando Channel Book Club host and co-producer and founder of Ngano Content Creatives Hub - a consulting business that helps Zimbabwean writers seek non-traditional routes to fulfil their dreams of publishing their work in print and online. Selina's passion for cultivating African narratives paves the way forward for voices that would otherwise remain unheard. She has helped over 21 self-published titles come to life and 6 corporate and NGO publications.

Rufaro Zengeni is co-founder of Friday Drinks, a successful podcast about current affairs hosted by a group of friends who discuss pertinent issues about Zimbabwe over drinks. Rufaro is an accountant by training who served his articles with Ernst & Young between 1999 and 2002 and has gone on to work for several organisations at senior managerial levels in a career spanning over 15 years. He is an avid writer with interests in global financial markets and is a keen follower of the growing impact of technology in businesses.

@shekhinahd , born Shekhinah Thandi Donnell, is a Pop/R&B vocalist and songwriter born in Durban, South Africa. After singing and performing in musicals for many years throughout her childhood and early teens, the young artist landed her first major gig competing in South Africa’s 7th Season of the hit television show, IDOLS, where she made Top 32. After being eliminated Shekhinah proceeded to enter the competition in its 8th season where she landed in the Top 6 of the overall competition. She went on to complete a Live Performance degree at AFDA in 2017.

Shekhinah has established herself as an artist on a national scale by performing at a variety of corporate, government and public events since her stint on IDOLS. In 2016 we see her with 2 #1 hit singles under her belt – “Back to the Beach” and “Let You Know”. In 2016 the hit song “Back to the Beach” was nominated for a Metro Music Award (MMA) and a South Africa Music Award (SAMA) but in October she won the MTV Africa Music Award (MAMA), while completing her degree.

In 2019 Shekhinah branched out and created a platform focused on uplifting females in the South African music industry, Rosefest. With 2 festivals in 2012, Johannesburg and Durban, a phenomenal 17 female performers engaged with 6000 festival go-ers in a celebration of female talent. Shekhinah moved this platform online in 2020 which featured 11 female artists performing in studio for online viewers after an 8-week long campaign which saw Rosefest partnering with LifeLine to hold discussions around issues South African women face. ��
