Umlilo – Seasons 3 Finale Monday!
Umlilo Season 3 already here! Very proud of the work everyone has done. But Season 4 then starts right up, cant’ wait – by far my favorite Season. We got to take the show in new, unexpected, and I think very rich directions. A big shout out the cast, crew, director, writers, and producers for making this happen.
I’m on TV . . .
Well not TV exactly, but a video of me is on the IFC website . . .
Actually did these interviews and edited these videos – I was in Washington DC last week at a gathering of Sustainability professionals from around the globe. We asked people to tell their stories, and at one point I jumped in front of the camera and did so myself.
So here I am – in the “Personal Journeys” category. Check it out.
I realize that my frame of reference for this video goes all the way back to college days from my senior thesis which was center around a book by Donna J. Haraway – Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature. In the book she talked about growing up Catholic and how as a Catholic she was always “drawn to the belly of the beast.” Well, so am I.

Umlilo on fire
I’m in Washington DC and so I can’t watch my show Umlilo. Normally each Monday night I watch, chat to friends, and watch the twitter feeds.
Today I wake up and check twitter see we trended number one for seven hours straight! That means for the duration of the show and most of the night afterwards we were the number one thing talked about thing in South Africa.
I’m blessed to be a part of this show, the writers, crew, brilliant cast. Sitting 7,000 miles away, I feel deeply connected to South Africa at this moment, honored to be a part of shaping the country’s imagination, and in turn fed and connected by my adopted home.
