CAPTAIN YOUR DESTINY
Empowering Through Self-Belief

Ten years ago, at a pivotal moment in my journey, I stood at the intersection of despair and destiny, feeling the weight of the world’s expectations as headlines went viral: “Meet Africa’s first Female Dredge Master”. Faced with the pressure to have life neatly figured out, I found myself swallowed in the noise, struggling to discover my true identity under the public spotlight and numerous recognitions. But let me tell you something, you can never out-pose your true calling, it relentlessly pursues you and it always wins. So instead, I leaned into my passions: storytelling, art, and empowering others.

In that shift, I discovered liberation to chart a course away from my career as an Unlimited Ship Navigator of over 50,000 Gross Tonnage vessels and emerge as a now globally recognized speaker, conscious business leader, and present mentor. I found joy, I found myself, and I can assure you that purpose really does pay well. Today, I stand not by titles and accolades, but by my commitment to helping others Captain Their Destinies.

To realize my vision, I strive to continually add value by collaborating with other organizations,
corporations, and brands that align with my values. These collaboration opportunities include:
● PUBLIC SPEAKING – KEYNOTE ADDRESS / PANELIST/ FACILITATOR
● MENTORSHIP / COACHING
● BRAND AMBASSADORSHIP
