Misty, during one of her capacity building classes, 2025.

July and August came with full schedules, new stories, different voices and plenty of time behind the microphone, and keyboard.

Over the last two months, I have had the opportunity to work across video production,documentary storytelling and voice-over, collaborating with organisations and brands working in areas ranging from youth skilling, and entrepreneurship to wellness, and development.

Here’s a little looksie at what I’ve been creating.

For Zenzo Connect, I filmed and edited eight reels and two documentary videos. Believe me when I tell you that, that is no mean feat.

Short-form content may look effortless when it lands on your feed, but there is a lot that happens before that final tap on “play”. And try finding the time to do everything while attending to a toddler, and 6 months-old baby.

From developing the visual approach and getting the right shots to editing everything into a story that works within a few seconds or several minutes, each piece called for a slightly different approach.

The documentaries, in particular, gave me the opportunity to slow things down, listen and let the story breathe.

It was a good reminder of why I enjoy working across different formats.

The other big part of these two months was getting behind the microphone. This is truly one of my first and forever loves, which makes me sad when people throw around sentences like, “soon, we won’t need your voiceovers at all because we have AI.”

I recorded a total of five voice-overs, lending my voice to projects spanning education, wellness, entrepreneurship, development and professional advocacy.

Among them were:

  • The Presidential Initiative for Skilling the Girl and Boy Child, 2026

I provided the voice-over for content supporting the Presidential Initiative for Skilling the Girl and Boy Child 2026, a project centered on skills development and creating opportunities for young people.

  • Oqata Wellness

I recorded the voice-over for Oqata Wellness’ milestone video, helping tell the story of a significant moment in their journey.

  • UNCDF

I also lent my voice to a project for the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), adding narration to content focused on development and impact.

  • Opportunity International

For Opportunity International’s Family Business Entrepreneurship Program, I recorded the voice-over for an animated video designed to communicate the programme’s message in an engaging and accessible way.

It was another opportunity to see how voice can give personality, warmth and clarity to animation.

And then there was UIPE, where I provided voice-over services for the launch of their, The Voice Platform.

Five very different projects, and each one called for a slightly different voice, tone and interpretation.

That’s one of the things I enjoy most about voice work.

Looking back at July and August, what especially stands out for me, is the variety of the projects.

July and August were busy, but in the best possible way.

Here’s to the projects that keep me learning, creating and finding new ways to use the tools I love most.

See you in the next chapter.
