• AMFC 2023

  Posted at 7:38 pm by Sibonginkosi Moyo, on Dec 30, 2023

  

  

  This year was the 10th anniversary of the African Music and Cultural Festival in Melbourne(AMFC), Australia. From 17 Nov to 19 Nov, African Australians gathered in Fed Square for a good time. There was live music, African drumming, raffles and African food stalls.

  This festival is the most prominent African festival in the country, and it is significant as it helps to promote African culture. The AMCF chair, Fred Alale, was on the ground, welcoming guests and making sure things were running smoothly.

  Looking forward to future festivals

  The 2nd edition of the Afropreneurs Summit Australia was the place to be. This year, there were two events in Melbourne and Sydney—vital Keynote Speeches and Workshops from African Australians who are trailblazers in their respective industries and entrepreneurial endeavours. A big shoutout to Convenor Clyde Salumu Sharady for his tireless work and dedication: I look forward to more Summits soon.

• Nelson Mandela Day 2023

  Posted at 1:04 am by Sibonginkosi Moyo, on Jul 23, 2023

  July 18th is a special day we celebrate an extraordinary man Nelson Mandela(Madiba). It’s a day to embrace fighting for equality, reconciliation and embracing unity.

  

  December last year, I had the privilege of visiting Robben Island with my parents, who were my first teachers of African history. Also, the person who conducted our tour had also been a prisoner on the island, and he was vulnerable enough to share his story.

  

  

  I left there inspired to do my part to change the world positively.

• Rotary International Convention 2023

  Posted at 12:08 am by Sibonginkosi Moyo, on Jul 9, 2023

  

  In May, the city of Melbourne hosted the 2023 Rotary International Convention. As a Melbourne resident and Rotarian I was glad this grand event was held in my city.

  The House of Friendship was where all Rotarians connected  and enjoy hundreds of Rotary project booths, vendors, foods, and entertainment options.

  

  

  Also, the presentations and breakout sessions were inspirational. I’m excited for the next conference as Rotary continues to make the world a better place.

• Happy Africa Day – 2023

  Posted at 10:09 pm by Sibonginkosi Moyo, on May 31, 2023

  Today we take time to celebrate the beautiful continent of Africa. 

  Africans in Africa and overseas celebrate their African heritage and unity by gathering and hosting events. For example, I attended the Africa Day Gala Dinner and Advancing African Australia Agenda (AAAA) in Melbourne.

  As we reflect on the last 60 years, it’s more important than ever to reflect on where we have come from and strive to make Africa a continent that our descendants will be proud to come from.

• Happy International Women’s Day

  Posted at 11:40 pm by Sibonginkosi Moyo, on Apr 1, 2023

  

  International Women’s Day(IWD) is a day that’s taken out to celebrate women. Worldwide there are events to commemorate this special event.Although there has been some progress made there is more work to be done to ensure that women are empowered and treated equally.

  This year I went to an event in Victoria Australia hosted by Africa Day Australia. The theme was DigitAll: “Innovation & technology for gender equality.”The two speakers Mayase Jere and Junie Baptiste-Poitevien inspired everyone when they shared their journey in the tech industry.

  

  

  Once again, Happy International Women’s Day!

• Celebrating Black History Month

  Posted at 10:50 pm by Sibonginkosi Moyo, on Feb 28, 2022

  February is a month dedicated to celebrating black history. I am one person who has considered race to be sacred. Growing up, I never thought much about my race. After all, I was born and raised in Zimbabwe, a sub-Saharan country. Most people looked like me or had a slightly different shade of black.

  Studying abroad in the United States and Australia made me become conscious of my skin colour and be aware of racism. Yet, despite all this, I’m still honoured that God created me as a black woman, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

  Today, I’ll end my post with a post I wrote in 2013 when I was a senior in college at Hofstra University in New York.

  “Celebrating Black History Month: Honoring a people who endured colonisation, slavery, prejudice, segregation amongst other atrocities. I am honoured to be a descendant of such a resilient and persevering race. I am proud and blessed to be black, and I would not have it any other way. Like me, my descendants will be standing on the shoulders of giants…” – Sibonginkosi Abigail Moyo(13 February 2013 – Facebook Post)

• Published Book- Welcome to Africa

  Posted at 11:00 pm by Sibonginkosi Moyo, on Nov 29, 2021

  

  After a year of dreaming and six months of writing – the book Welcome to Africa: Titambire is now OUT!

  To my parents, who always taught me African history and made sure I was proud of my roots. Proudly Zimbabwean and proudly African.

  To my American and Australian friends who have always asked me interesting questions about my background. This led to many discussions and inspired me to write this book.

  To my fellow Africans who have always wanted to tell their story. May this book inspire you to share your story with others.

  Here is another version of the African story; join me as I welcome you to my home Africa.
