Berlin · Harare · Worldwide
I'm Wadzanai Motsi-Khatai — a builder, social entrepreneur, and writer partnering with communities and organizations working to advance equality, inclusion, and social justice across Africa, its diaspora, and Europe.
Three practices
Strategic collaboration, program and project management, stakeholder engagement, and communications for advocacy organisations, civil society, and mission-driven teams.
I design and implement the structures, systems, and processes that allow mission-driven teams to scale sustainably. I've built project management functions for the non-profit and software sectors, establishing frameworks for organizations to deliver on ambitious goals. I create the operational backbone that lets organizations advance their mission without losing their soul.
I partner with innovators and early-stage ventures to build initiatives that dismantle inequality — particularly those led by and designed for marginalized communities. Whether advising founders through incubators or supporting African entrepreneurship ecosystems, I help turn ideas into economically sustainable, disruptive initiatives that create tangible impact.
I write and speak about diaspora identity, intersecting inequalities, and the practice of building more just systems — translating lived experience and field insights into essays, public forums, and editorial work that advance dialogue on development and social change.
