Catching up with creative force Luis Munana
Carving a path across Africa
From Namibia to the continent: The spotlight's on Luis Munana's cultural crusade during the month of May.
Luis Munana, one of Namibia's most dynamic creative entrepreneurs, has an action-packed May filled with prestigious events that underscore his growing influence on the African cultural scene.
Known for his multifaceted career spanning media, fashion and entertainment, Munana is set to make significant appearances at high-profile gatherings across the continent. "May is buzzing with excitement," he shared.
"I'm particularly thrilled about travelling to Johannesburg this weekend for a Netflix 'Bridgerton' event and heading to Mozambique thereafter for a GOP party, renowned as the 'African Met Gala'."
The 'Bridgerton' season three event in Johannesburg isn't just a social call for Munana - it's a strategic move to enhance his brand on an international platform. "Getting an invite to such a distinguished event is a nod to my work's value," he explained. "These gatherings are teeming with industry leaders, and I'm eager to connect with producers and directors as my goal is to explore more on-screen projects in the near future."
Ambassador for Namibian culture
Following his Johannesburg visit, Munana will attend the GOP party in Mozambique, an event celebrating influential Africans. "It’s exhilarating to be part of an event that brings together accomplished Africans who are making significant strides in various fields," he said. "Such events are crucial for networking and bridging the gap among African creatives."
Munana's involvement in these events highlights his role as an ambassador for Namibian culture. "Through my projects, I aim to bring recognition to Namibia. We're a small country, but our cultural output is vibrant and resonant on the global stage," he said.
He's not just a participant, but a promoter of Namibian heritage, using every platform to showcase our nation's richness.
With a schedule that most would find daunting, he told tjil he has learnt the importance of balance. "In the past, my work consumed all my time, but I’ve learnt to prioritise self-care and personal well-being," he noted.
His advice to aspiring creatives resonates with his journey: "Persistence is key. Keep pushing, keep shining, and the world will take notice. I had to wait for about four years until I was able to secure sponsors and partners, so the trick is to keep being persistent".
Through his artistic endeavors, business ventures and public appearances, Munana is not just living his dream, but also paving the way for future generations of Namibian creatives.
