I know this is just a vlog, but I need to use whatever attention this post gets to say something that matters.

Women in our country are scared.

Our sisters, our friends, our partners, our mothers. Women are having to think about whether they’re safe going out, getting home, being alone, trusting someone. Families are worried about whether the women they love are going to make it home safely.

And as men, we cannot keep watching this happen and acting like it has nothing to do with us.

It starts with us.

Having the uncomfortable conversations. Calling out our friends. Correcting our brothers. Refusing to stay quiet when another man says or does something that contributes to a culture that makes women feel unsafe.

And our police and institutions need to do their part too. Women who ask for help deserve to be heard, protected and taken seriously.

But beyond what happens today, we need to think about the generation of men coming after us.

We have to teach younger men differently. We have to show them a different example. We have to change the conversations happening between men so that the same cycle isn’t passed down generation after generation.

Awareness posts don’t always reach everyone, so I’m going to use the descriptions of the things I post to keep talking about this.

If you’re a man reading this, please don’t scroll past and think this conversation is for somebody else.

It starts with us. 🇿🇦

I told you I had a phenomenal guest. 😂

Episode 1 of Capable.

Cyfred.

We know the music. We know the records. We know the success.

But I wanted to know the person behind all of it.

We spoke about where he comes from, building something bigger than yourself, money, ownership, relationships, love and what happens when the dream you had when you were younger actually starts becoming your life.

This conversation went places I genuinely didn’t expect it to.

And I think that’s exactly what I want Capable to be.

Live Now. 6PM. YouTube. ❤️

I’ve got a phenomenal guest on Capable today.

And I think what I enjoyed most about this conversation is that it went somewhere I genuinely didn’t expect.

We spoke about music. Success. Building something bigger than yourself. What happens when the life you once dreamed about slowly starts becoming your actual life.

But we also spoke about the person behind all of that.

Love. Relationships. Being present. Growing up. And whether being successful at what you do automatically means you feel capable in every other part of your life.

I really, really enjoyed this one.

I’m not telling you who it is yet 😂

6PM. My YouTube channel.

First episode of Capable. We’re back. ❤️

There’s something about driving a car that just feels right.

The kind of comfort you notice in the little things. The confidence you feel behind the wheel. And that feeling when you know you’ve made a choice that fits the life you’re building.

For me, it’s not just about getting from A to B: it’s about enjoying the journey in between. 🚘

Behind the scenes on the Adidas Hyper Boost shoot with As Majita 👟🎬

This is honestly my favourite part of the job. Four creative directors in one room, four different ways of seeing things, and somehow it always comes together into something better than any of us could’ve made alone.

We sit down, we argue a little, we plan the scripts, then we go execute. And every single time the content comes out amazing.

I love this process. I love working with my closest friends. And I love that we get to be this creative while still showing up for the brands who trust us to tell their story.

Grateful for days like this 🤍
