Thuli Zikalala and Yellow Owl win recognition at the New Generation Digital Awards — Lionesses of Africa

The Blind History podcast is a crash course in getting to know history’s greatest men and women – and by great that doesn’t always mean good. In this series, hosted by Gareth Cliff and Anthony Mederer, and sign language interpreted by Thuli Zikalala of Yellow Owl, the team shares the details the history books sometimes leave out – the less well-known details, some of the stuff they didn’t teach you at school. Each person helps to put a piece of the puzzle in place, and bring history to life.

Thuli Zikalala is a well-known face in the Lionesses of Africa community, recognised for her sign language interpretation at the Lioness Lean In events in South Africa, helping deaf women entrepreneurs to fully participate in the event experience. This latest award recognizes her talent and the valuable work her company, Yellow Owl, does to empower greater access to good content for those who are deaf and hard of hearing.
