A conversation on culture, creativity, and connection across borders.

In our first episode of Let’s Touch Base, we explore the creative push and pull between home and abroad. What does it mean to build from the continent, and what does it take to sustain presence in multiple places at once?

Featuring Anita Makgetla, cultural producer and founding member of Strictly Soul, Africa’s biggest R&B event series, and MPHO the GVN, South African-born singer-songwriter making waves in the UK, this panel offers insight into:

• Building a music or events career rooted in Africa

• Demystifying the idea that success must start in the US or Europe

• The importance of cultural context in curating events and music

• Navigating identity and audience when working across continents

• The infrastructure and support needed for artists living in the diaspora

• Lessons in longevity, community-building, and creative intention

Whether you’re building locally or living globally, this conversation offers practical takeaways, real talk, and a few grounding reminders.
