bio

Hi Creatives,

my name is Ziaphora Dakile. I’m a born and bred Jozi girl and a proud African. I studied all disciplines of acting at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC and my life’s agenda is storytelling. Why, you may ask: because I think the greatest power one has is telling the truth, living presently from moment-to-moment and jumping off the edge of discomfort to land where I can see the starts brightest.

I hope meet and create with fellow creatives here and see the stars, at their brightest.
