A Day In The Life Of Paula

Namibia marks its 36th birthday this week 🇳🇦

As I share this BTS from an Independence Day advert shoot, I can’t help but think about the creative and arts industry.

I really hope we start to see a shift in how seriously these industries are taken. I hope we see more investors and people who understand and believe in the creative industries enough to want to see real change.

We want to start to see a shift in investment and return, and hopefully all the hours we put in will start to pay off.

We’re hopeful to see progress under the leadership of ICT under Emma Theofelus, and the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sport, Arts and Culture under Sanet Steenkamp.

We have faith that the our this time around will make these industries a priority.

To everyone working behind the scenes; filmmakers, artists, designers, photographers, performers and storytellers, the hours, the risk, and the belief you pour into your work matter. Hopefully the seeds being planted now will begin to pay off in the years ahead.

Happy Independence Week, Namibia 🇳🇦

Many African spiritual traditions see the ocean as more than just water. It’s believed to be a living, sacred force that connects the physical world (where people live) with the spiritual world (where ancestors and spirits exist).

Because of this belief, people see the ocean as having natural spiritual power.

They may go to the ocean to:

Cleanse themselves spiritually
Heal emotional or physical problems
Remove negative energy
Receive protection from harmful spiritual forces

One of my favorite towns in Namibia. 🇳🇦

Ocean air, quiet streets, cute cafés, and the desert right next door.
If you’re traveling Namibia, Swakop is definitely worth a stop. 🤍

Neotypes by

I went to the Neotypes exhibition after an invite from my friend Sally, and I’m honestly so glad I did 🤍 It turned into such a wholesome night… meeting Nambowa (so talented), connecting with other artists, and bumping into a few familiar faces too.

Somewhere in between walking through the space and taking it all in, I found myself getting curious about my own identity; what I’ve inherited, what I’m holding onto, and who I’m still becoming. 🤍

They’re showing it at the FNCC for the next month, so if you can, go see it. Take your friends, take your time with it.
