Nonprofit Organization Management - Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa
In 2013 the previous Johannesburg Pride board shut down the organization without justification leaving a gap in the LGBTQ+ advocacy and awareness campaigns. With a few members of the community I stepped in and founded the current Johannesburg Pride organization. After 30 years of advocacy, Johannesburg Pride has grown to become the most established and well-attended pride event in Africa. Attracting an increasing number of supporters throughout the world every year, it has become a key supporter in the African LGBTQ+ space. As a result, it has adopted a much bigger cause, going beyond the parade and beyond its own borders, striving to foster a culture of authenticity, acceptance, and support. In 2017 we've created the Pride of Africa Foundation as a unified platform and voice for a diverse community. The platform saw the introduction of a lifestyle conference, queer fashion show and a LGBTQ+ shelter initiative, in addition to supporting events being hosted across Africa. This includes the continent's longest running pride event: Johannesburg Pride.
