Brity released a 6 track Album titled Mwana Wa Mambo. Among her portfolios in April 2018, she directed a Theatre stage play titled 'My Cuba', written by Ernest Nyatanga. This led Brity to tour Norway in Europe to represent Zimbabwe at the Bergen Afro Arts Festival. There she collaborated with a Germany Vioinist, Steffi Wisding

Later in November 2018, Brity was appointed a Brand Ambassador for Lamonki Collection, a Texas clothing line.



In September 2019, she moved to China to represent Zimbabwe as a Performing Artist at the Ling Ling International Circus.

Zuva ne zuva  ndini zvangu,
kufumorova dova kuseni
kunoshandirawo mhuri yangu,
dongo ! dongo! vodongorera

Hembe iyoyo yakabvepi?
ko jombo wakaripihwa nani?
saka apa wanangepi?

havadi kundiona ndichiseva nenyama,
havadi kundiona ndichifamba nemota,
zuva ne zuva vanongondigaira,
moyo yavo ichiti dai ndawira
vondicherera gomba ndiri mupenyu!
kutonyora gwaro rehupenyu hwangu,
hanzi tione kwazvinosvika,
manje Mwari ndewe munhu wese...

Love, Sex, and Marriage: Three Sides of the Same Coin

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga In today’s society, the lines between love, sex, and marriage are often blurred. Sex has been commercialized and portrayed as a pleasurable act, while love is taught through upbringing and personal experiences. Marriage, on the other hand, has become a duty where two people often find themselves tied together due to sex and social prestige. Love vs. Sex Sex is a natural instinct, while love is a cultivated emotion that allows us to accommodate someone who is not ourselves. As I often say in my sessions with young adults, every creature that reproduces enjoys sex. However, it’s love that sets us apart. We can plan and work on love, tolerating and forgiving someone who is different from us. Love disciplines us on who to have sex with, and mutual desire is a design of our own making. While sex and love are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Sex is driven by inner feelings that aim to satisfy reproduction, whereas love is a choice that req...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...

Richness is Not a Coincidence, While Poverty is a Choice

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga  Even when circumstances seem to offer no alternatives, choices still exist. These choices might be limited, oppressive, or unappealing, but they are choices nonetheless. The decision to pursue richness, unlike the circumstances that lead to poverty, is often deliberate and hard-won. Richness is not a chance occurrence; it is created. Those who achieve it have typically made conscious decisions, defying odds and pushing beyond familiar territories. In contrast, poverty often results from coerced or timid choices, stemming from situations created by those who comprehend the nature of richness. Strategies to Evade Poverty 1. Seek Opportunities, Even When None Seem Apparent : Be proactive, network, think creatively, and take calculated risks. 2. Don't Wait for Validation from Others ; Take Initiative: Self-validate, set your own goals, take ownership, and be decisive. 3. Overcome Objections and Challenges : Anticipate obstacles, develop problem-...
