Starting off my year as a contributing writer for @theatreartlife . Check out my piece on what I’ve observed from being an audition reader for over 900 self-tapes! #selftapelife If you disagree with my thoughts that’s okay too. All love. ❤️✨ #universe #gratitude #actorslife #auditioncheerleader #vongailife #vongaiofficial #capricornseason #actorthoughts (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnMvOLfu7_0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We're spending the week at Catalyst Story Institute and interviewing creators and industry leaders about their work and advice for other creators. Here's our conversation with Vongai, a creator and actor who won the 2018 "Best Drama Actress" award at Catalyst under the previous brand. - WDSE WRPT PBS

🙋🏽‍♀️✨: Ok bad news first. I had COVID for about 12 days, BOO! Before allathat June was such a BIG MOOD. I co-led a really dope workshop on podcasting (I’m a public speaker now 👩🏽‍🏫) that was a success and then #tribeca2022 festivities were in full effect.

Word on the street is I’m now the type of person who knows how to ‘work a room’. Whaaat?! Who said that? For real I’m still an introvert but I’ve gotten really good at embodying the version of myself that doesn’t hide in a corner with hor d’oeuvres. 😂 Not only did I connect with some dope ass creators (and some advertising execs) but y’all I DANCED and it lit my soul on fire. It’s so refreshing to connect with my peers on a human level cos y’all I am SO over ‘what have you been in recently?’ especially because I get so busy I sometimes forget what I’ve been up to. 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

Oh and my podcast is nominated for its first award❣️

Anyway here’s to July

I am still buzzing from the WeAudition Tribeca Mixer the other night. The global community that @darrendarnborough and @richcambridge have cultivated is something special. Yo it’s so rare to be in a room which ISN’T all about the ‘spirit of competition’ and keeping up with the joneses within our industry. That or I’m just getting really good at attracting my kind of people. Honestly though I love WeAudition because it came into my life when I was feeling so isolated and disconnected from the acting biz (while I was waiting for yet another visa approval during a seemingly never-ending nightmare of a pandemic). Joining the site has not only made me a better actor but a better human. ❤️✨ P.S For everyone who asks if WeAudition is looking for readers. ANYONE can be a reader. What’s stopping you? Commit, Invest and Sign Up today. 🤷🏽‍♀️ #NotAnAd #JustVongaiThoughts P.P.S Cheers @thatdoolittle and @actorsrise for the discount code I used when I joined 😘 And @vivienkillilea thanks for connecting Darren and I. 📸: @bochun.c (at Somewhere Nowhere NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce3pzncuQX2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎙✨: Lovelies, I'm leading a 🆓podcast workshop with @samcreatesdrama for #GFTF2022 If you can’t make it there will be a replay til June 12th. We have poured so much love and information into this workshop. If you attend I have a feeling you will happily walk away with so much value. There’s no upsell only a bonus resource guide for all who attend. 😘 Come thru and learn how you too could create your very own podcast musical, interview show or even true crime podcast. We will share how to get started and how to end up listed on directories like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. As well as ways to find opportunities to be a guest on podcasts and all things monetization. 💰🤑 Definitely pull through if you're an immigrant artist. USCIS now accepts transcripts of audio and video as evidence in their O-1 and EB-1 criteria. 😎❤️✨ _ _ Rattlestick Theater and New York Theatre Salon proudly present GLOBAL FORMS THEATER FESTIVAL, a free, multi-medium festival showcasing over 100 theater artists from 34 different countries! This twelve-day theatrical event celebrates and uplifts the work of international and immigrant theater artists living in the United States and abroad.

🙊✨: Filled with so much joy and gratitude today. What started as a ‘secret project’ has grown me in ways I had not anticipated. Right now @zimexcellencepodcast has been listened to in 37 countries and has surpassed 1K downloads in only 4 MONTHS.

Thank you universe, friends, family and guests for the support you have continued to show me. Major shoutout to @squadcastfm for making it possible to connect with guests around the world.

May all Zimbabwean children be seen , heard and know that they are #zimexcellence.

If you haven’t listened yet head to www.zimexcellence.com

🤳🏾✨: Hey y’all on Sunday I’ll be doing a fun takeover on @philisacreatives page! 😬

Philisa Creatives are doing amazing work when it comes to creating resources for multicultural/multilingual children which includes the book ‘My First Book Of Shona and Ndebele Words’ written by @yeve.c.sibanda . This means a lot because I haven’t always been accepted in the Zimbabwean community or regarded as Zimbabwean enough.

See you over there all day Sunday and as always #itsaparty 🎉✨
