ABOUT
Join us on Saturday, February 5th as Oceaneers brings to you an Ocean-infused evening with Zandi Ndhlovu aka Zandi the Mermaid.
Zandi is the freediving instructor and conservationist behind the Black Mermaid Foundation. She is recognised as being the first Black African Freedive instructor in South Africa, having received her Instructors Certificate at the beginning of 2020. Having previously started her own Diversity & Inclusion, Human Resources and IR consultancy, Zandi was quick to recognise the lack of representation within the white-dominated Ocean/ freediving space and has since made it her mission to inspire and motivate people of all backgrounds to get into the Ocean ….
Joining Zandi on stage is Roushanna Gray from Veld and Sea. Roushanna is leading the charge in the foraging movement. Inspired by nature as a true provider, Roushanna started Veld and Sea to provide people with the opportunity to reconnect with nature.
Both of our guests this evening have been gaining international attention having recently been featured on Corona’s #FreeRangeHumans Youtube series. These local change-makers are working towards reconnecting humans with their natural world, an important message that is needed to create a sense of compassion toward nature and to help inspire conservation.
As always, we are teaming up with some of our amazing brand partners to host an evening of inspiring Ocean talks, good vibes, great food, and a chance to connect with like-minded Ocean-loving individuals.
Hosts:
- Oceaneers: Ocean-conservation community with a focus on food choices.
- Veld and Sea: Cultivating a curiosity for our edible landscape through wild food foraging workshops
- Thank Goodness Foods & Beverages: Creators of delicious vegan, gluten and refined sugar-free treats
- Jack Black Brewing Co: Delicious locally brewed craft beer made from the best natural ingredients.
