Tinashe moved from Zimbabwe to the U.S. at age 7. At 13, he lost his mother — and the phrase "show up fully" became more than motivation. It became a commitment.
He grew up with a stutter. He speaks anyway. He built clarity through focused seasons and proof — launching brands, earning a Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition, and founding Sosani Studios.
Now he teaches students to do the same: face the moment, build real proof, and create their future before anyone gives them permission.
"One of the best speakers I've ever had — Tinashe engaged our students instantly and delivered up-to-date industry skills that left them more confident and prepared for digital marketing."
