Having a background in journalism, I thoroughly enjoyed working as a reporter but there was always a burning desire to use my skills to support social justice. I have a great opportunity working as communications officer for an international organization focusing on eradicating poverty, gender inequality and other societal ills that hinder positive change. In my current role I develop communication strategies; communicate regularly about project activities; collect, write and edit success and human interest stories; and support local civil society organizations in their communications (media relations, community mobilization activities and events) The role of communication is often times undermined in development projects as there is hardly a space for dialogue with equal participation from governments, donors, civil society and communities. Knowing and understanding the undeniable power of communications, I am interested in ensuring that the role of communication remains prominent in development work. This has further motivated my interest to pursue an MA in Media and International Development which I will soon begin.
