Ratidzo mambo biography

As the famous Actor, Director and Screenwriter Alan Alda said, “the creative world is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. In this place you will discover and bring something wonderful.” Ratidzo Mambo, a Zimbabwean-born actress, is an inspirational example of a young Creative woman who shows that when you are naturally gifted in something and you combine that with faith in God and relentless drive, you will ultimately succeed.

Two Words with Taku

So, you call yourself a writer, huh?

The Zimbabwean-born actor and former sales agent and distribution consultant resolved to take her fate into her own hands by becoming a creative producer, developing her own TV and film projects.

“I’ve had to learn how to multi-task because acting jobs are scarce and the types of roles I want to do are seldom offered to me,” Rati tells IF via Skype from Bali, where she is finishing the bibles and treatments for a bunch of projects.

With the help of her US manager, Fictional Entity’s Krista Carpenter (a former head of development at Screenwest), and her Oz rep Sophie Jermyn Management she is putting together a portfoli
