30 minutes with African creative leaders.

No vague "can I pick your brain". Pick one focus, share your work, and get a structured half hour with someone who has already walked the road you are on. Rate cards, portfolio reviews, career calls, all in one place.

Free for creativesMentor-approved30 minutes, no small talk
01

Apply with intent

Choose one focus: portfolio review, pricing and negotiating, or career advice. Share your work and a 1,000-character note on the exact decision you are stuck on.

02

Your mentor chooses

Mentors offer one or two slots a month. They read every request, look at your work first, and confirm who they meet.

03

30 focused minutes

A video call with an agenda, not a chat. Afterwards you get up to three action points and a link to keep moving.

For creative leaders

Pledge 30 minutes a month and change someone's next year.

One or two slots a month, your call on who you meet, and a structured request in front of you before you say yes. That is the whole commitment.
