2023 has been a year full of unexpected opportunities, and as I reflect on its highlights, one moment stands out above the rest: sitting down with none other than President H.E. Mokgweetsi E.K. Masisi and global entertainment icon Steve Harvey. It’s a surreal experience when you find yourself in the presence of two giants, and yet, that’s exactly where I found myself—engaged in a powerful conversation that promises to reshape our creative industry.

Back in 2019, I had the distinct honor of introducing both President Masisi and Steve Harvey on stage during an event as the Master of Ceremonies. At that time, I couldn’t have imagined that our paths would cross again in such a significant way. Fast forward to December 2023, and there I was, not just an MC but moderating a groundbreaking discussion about a new and exciting partnership between the Department of Broadcasting Services and Steve Harvey Global.

This collaboration is set to unlock unprecedented potential in Botswana’s creative industry, opening doors we’ve only dreamed of. The energy in the room was electric, and the conversation was as inspiring as it was entertaining. With Steve Harvey’s unmistakable humor and President Masisi’s insightful leadership, it was a moment where humor met wisdom, and vision met action. Truly, the stars had aligned, and this encounter served as a testament to the unexpected yet divinely orchestrated paths that life often takes when faith and purpose come together.

As I reflect on this incredible moment, I’m reminded that some blessings can only be attributed to divine intervention. It’s these kinds of experiences that fuel my passion for storytelling, creativity, and growth within our industry.
