Today’s guest is Lee Ngwenya–writer, documentary filmmaker and host of Conversations with Leelabee, a podcast covering topics ranging from entrepreneurship to mental health.
Lee was born in Zimbabwe but raised in Zambia, and knew early on that a traditional career path wasn’t for her. She attended school in North Carolina for social work but quickly realized that film was her passion. Capetown, South Africa had the exact program she was looking for and her training there has landed her work in South Africa, Kenya and Zambia.
Tune in to hear more about:
- What her 2020 was like
- How she’s navigating Zambia’s creative scene
- The two sides of Capetown people aren’t really talking about
- Upcoming African creative projects you should know about
- Which Conversations with Leelabee episode to listen to first & more!
