” In 2021, I joined the Spark Fellowship, a transformative experience that expanded my artistic horizons. The program, balancing theory and practical application, featured mentors who went beyond teaching. Subsequently, Africacomicade facilitated a six-month internship with Anvaya Feats, offering a remarkable opportunity to apply my skills in impactful, real-world projects.
This blend of creativity and purpose significantly shaped my perspective as an animator. The Spark Fellowship, more than an educational endeavor, became a journey of self-discovery and professional growth. “
