Praise Dhlakama

I am a digital media producer and communications specialist with close to 10 years of experience creating stories that make a difference.

My career started in community programmes, where I learned first-hand how to connect with people and understand what matters to them.

I have practical skills in the full range of digital media. I film and edit videos, take photographs, design graphics, and write content for social media, websites, and articles.

At Grassroot Soccer, I used these skills to lead a mental health campaign that reached over 2 million young people through radio and social media. I also managed their social media accounts and built a system for collecting success stories from across Africa.

As a sports journalist, I write articles and provide live TV and radio commentary, which has sharpened my ability to create engaging content for a large audience. I also run my own startup multimedia company, handling everything from client projects to marketing, which has given me a strong understanding of how to manage digital projects from start to finish.

I am looking for a role where I can use my hands-on digital media skills to help an organization tell its story effectively and connect with its community.
