From invisible to in-demand
I wrote a guest feature for Media Career Development Network on how African media professionals can build digital credibility.
The article breaks down how writers, journalists, content creators, and media professionals can use visible proof of work to become easier to find, trust, and recommend.
I covered:
1. why visibility matters in media careers
2. what proof of work looks like beyond a CV
3. how LinkedIn, Medium, Substack, websites, and guest features work as a living portfolio
4. how African women in media can pitch their work with value
5. a 30-day action plan for becoming more searchable and credible
This piece connects directly to my work in SEO, AEO, content strategy, media, and digital visibility.

Many media professionals are not invisible because they lack talent, but rather because their work, skills, voice, and proof are scattered where the right people cannot easily find them.

Just wrapped up The Hunt, my submission for the RENOISE Challenge.
This project was all about building tension through atmosphere rather than dialogue or gore. Every shot, discarded iteration, and transition was explored inside the Renoise Canvas until the pacing felt right. Sometimes the best creative decision is knowing what not to keep.
The attached workflow shows the complete production process—from early experiments and unused generations to the assets that made the final cut.
If you're interested in AI-powered filmmaking, creative workflows, or visual storytelling, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This is so coool
two years ago I was charging less than a grand for a website.
this week I crossed $960k on Contra.
same hands and same tools but the thing that really changed is I stopped charging for my time and started charging for what the work is worth to the company.
took me way too long to get this however when you bill hourly you're basically punishing yourself for getting good, you spend years getting faster and cleaner and the reward is you make less for the same result which makes no sense.
and half the time you're designing for a company that's about to raise millions, you're a big part of why they look fundable in the first place. charging that by the hour like it's a favor never sat right with me.
so at some point you just say the number, not a random one though.
sit down, figure out what each thing is actually worth to you, write it down, then say it out loud without doing the nervous little discount thing we all do.
the pricing was never the hard part but believing I was worth it was and I'm still working on that some days, however the number's finally catching up to the work.
anyway, road to a million, one project at a time. the count's live on my Contra profile if you want to watch it happen.
Amazing!
