At the recently held SheHive event by She Leads Africa in Accra,
Ghana, TV Personality and former Big Brother Africa housemate, Vimbai
Mutinhiri took the stage to inspire and educate women on the business of
entertainment.
Having hosted a number of shows, events, garnered
a career in modelling and more, her session was insightful,
motivational and entertaining as she gave the women 5 keys to success in
the entertainment industry.
Vimbai delivered her address in a
pretty monochrome dress by fast-rising Nigerian designer, Imad Eduso.
She spoke on her journey, from being a model to running a production
business with a multi-million dollar revenue.
According to Vimbai, the keys to entertainment success are;
Step 1Work on yourself, build your talent and hone your skills.
Step 2Learn from those before you, and use them as a case study of the strategies that work.
Step 3Learn a skill that compliments your talent. If you are on TV, learn to also edit or use a camera.
Step 4The person who owns the content holds the power. Make sure you own everything you create.
Step 5Own
your means of production – so if you are an artist, then aspire to
build a studio. If you are an actress, have cameras and lights.
