Olona Tywabi: Communications Professional and Cultural Enthusiast
I am Olona Tywabi, a passionate professional dedicated to people and communications. Helping clients achieve their goals brings me immense joy. My career has afforded me the opportunity to work with diverse individuals across a wide range of industries, from government and entertainment to non-profits and media. My expertise spans internal communications, event planning, management, and social media. As a published author, experienced writer, and editor, I continuously seek new opportunities for growth in the dynamic world of communication. My leadership philosophy is grounded in three core values: Respect, Humility, and Hard Work.
Born in the deep rural province of Eastern Cape, South Africa, I am a proud Xhosa woman. My name, "Olona," is an IsiXhosa name that translates to "the best" in English. This name holds great significance for me, serving as a constant reminder of my purpose and potential, especially when I have the honor of introducing myself. People are often fascinated by the story behind my name, and I always lead with this unique aspect of my identity.
In my personal time, I am an avid reader with a particular love for African literature. I also enjoy watching Korean dramas, which offer a delightful escape and a window into another culture. My diverse interests and background enrich my professional life, allowing me to connect authentically with a wide range of individuals and continuously grow in the field of communications.
