About

My name is Taku Mbudzi and I love to tell stories — give me a pen, a microphone or a camera and I’ll have something to say. I’m fired up about authentic voices telling their own stories and enjoy using humour to help young people speak up and out for themselves.

I’m constantly re-discovering who I am as an artist. I’m exploring, experimenting and playing, unlocking unexpected joys in my writing life.

I often capture my writing adventures on audio, so tune in to Two Words with Taku, wherever you find your fave podcasts and subscribe to join our podcast community.

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” - Nelson Mandela

Amen to that! 🙌🏾

Thanks to everyone who supported my impossible dream! Here are the final four minutes from my show where EVERY night, over five days, the audience was ready to FIGHT Phil for me. Omg! 🤣

My heart is full and now God has me looking at the other impossible dreams on my bucket list saying, “They’re not impossible enough.” (Um, okay, what?!😳)

I’m taking some time to process that and ALL the overwhelming love and joy from the show.

It’s a lot.😩

Consulting Director: Akwasi Osei-Tutu
Stage Manager: Tino Nyoni
Production Consultant: Janet McLeod

And to one of my faves…

@msniasha for blessing me with her empowering song ‘Boss Queen’ as the intro and outro anthem for my show. Those vibes STILL have me walking different. 🎶💪🏾
