Zakkiya Khan is a self-starter who recently decided to quit working on other people’s dreams and to give herself the opportunity to fly. She currently resides in South Africa’s capital city of Pretoria, immersing herself in the joys of Afrikaans rap culture, potjiekos and rugby.
During the week, she teaches design at the University of Pretoria, is a freelance interior designer, blogs at Winking Plum, and performs stand-up comedy. Over weekends, you’ll find Zakkiya mid-pannekoek at the farmers market (boeremark), cuddling her cats or roaming around Gauteng with her husband.
Although it is all a crazy juggle, Zakkiya manages to find peace of mind in the fact that that all her endeavours come from a place of passion.
