From her beginnings as a quiet observer to leading Hayani Africa, a Pan-African creative talent agency, Tumelo Moema has built her career on the belief that “home” is not just a place but a system. With roots in broadcast and licensing at Primedia, Getty Images, and Shutterstock, she brings a rare depth of expertise to shaping the future of creative careers across the continent.

In this powerful episode of Listen To Your Footsteps, Moema reflects on:
• Why “home” is a foundation for safety, growth, and belonging.
• The distinction between influence and being an influencer, and why it matters.
• How systems, contracts, and compliance future-proof creative careers.
• The philosophy behind building tables rather than waiting for an invitation.
• Her role in Women in Film & Television South Africa, and how mentorship can shift the industry.

With honesty and clarity, Tumelo unpacks how dignity, structure, and Pan-African collaboration can secure a sustainable creative future. Whether you’re a creative, a strategist, or someone seeking to turn vision into structure, this episode offers both inspiration and a blueprint.
