Helping to change the narrative, one story at a time! A powerful piece we placed in Daily Maverick on Africa Day 2021.

"As we celebrate Africa Day (25 May), let’s take stock: Just because conventional history books seldom speak about Africa’s glorious, fascinating, and eclectic past doesn’t mean its past is a blank page. This continent’s history is much more than slavery and colonisation. It features dozens of great leaders and powerful civilisations that can be compared to the Romans, Greeks and Mayans" - Marc Lubner

We love days like today when we get to do what we do best. Put our clients name in lights... for all the right reasons!

"While we've been generating awesome stories for clients during lockdown, today was different. I was able to dress up, make up, get and out my usual four walls for a "real" meeting for the first time in nearly six months.

I spent the morning with Mandy Wiener at Primedia studios launching an awesome initiative for my newest client, Redflank a strategic management consultancy. Can't wait to see the coverage come in tomorrow.

17 years on and I still get a thrill from it.

This Women's Day I'm taking a moment to recognise & appreciate an achievement. Grateful for the support of the cheerleaders that encouraged & believed in me, especially when I was too weak to believe in myself.

Just over 2.5 years ago I found myself at a crossroads. Frazzled from a corporate world where I had grown and thrived but eventually burnt myself out, somedays barely recognisable to those I know & love. It was time for change, do or die as they say.

After taking a month or two to reinvigrate, I picked myself up & began a frightening but liberating journey. Scoop Communications was born from bare bones, 16 years of solid PR experience, a burning passion for the industry & an insatiable hunger to succeed, not only for myself but for the wellbeing of my family.

Almost three years later its grown to support & consult some of SAs leading brands & organisations. By its grit, I'm blessed that somehow its making it through a lockdown & a harsh economic environment.

I celebrate this women's day with the first piece I've had placed in the iconic Mail & Guardian for Afrika Tikkun by Alef Meulenberg. Yes, we are the change makers, believe in your dreams & in yourself today & everyday.
