Andrietta Simbi

My name is Andrietta Simbi and I am on a journey of self development. My passion in life is to create films that will educate, inspire generations, those on a journey of self realisation and an understanding of life in a world that never stop. But my passion has helped me navigate and shape my perspective as I grow. I know myself through great mentors such as Jamal Edwards MBE a pioneer in servicing to artists within the creative industry, music’s composers such as Mozart who through the sound of music can inspire and connect with many individuals to friends who all share different life experiences. Through them I am inspired to face challenges with my own perspective.
