Natalia Maria Sikombe

Natalia celebrates the privilege of being raised in two diverse cultures. She was born in a small town in Zambia while being raised by her Tanzanian family and which taught her to value and appreciate diversity. Her work with African Leadership Academy centers around refining the entrepreneurial leadership curriculum and developing the next generation of ethical entrepreneurial leaders. In addition to being an educator, Natalia also uses her education and design-thinking approach to influence the Zambian film industry where she continues to work towards improving workflow systems and producing quality feature films and documentaries. Her goal is to design a film production model that will be used on the African continent to grow the industry and bring economic investments to the world of film.
