In this inspiring episode of Future Readiness with Za, I am in conversation with Monde Twala, a global media influencer and Senior Vice President at Paramount Africa & BET International Lead. Monde reflects on his upbringing in Soweto, crediting his grandparents and the community for instilling values of respect, learning, and storytelling. His early fascination with cinema, along with his social sciences studies, ignited his passion for responsible representation in media, with a focus on gender, race, and minority experiences. Monde emphasizes the power of the African creative economy and the potential of young Africans to lead global storytelling. He discusses the need for authenticity, excellence, and investment in Africa’s creative industries, and calls for government support through legislation. Monde also highlights the rise of user-generated content and niche communities, while stressing the importance of showcasing Africa's diversity and culture on the world stage. Tune in for a conversation filled with wisdom on leadership, creativity, and the future of African storytelling.
