Read our exclusive interview with the incredible woman of Faith and Purpose.
Hello Weza! Thank you for taking your time to speak with us at LLA. In your own words: Who is Weza, and what does she do?
I am a woman, a follower of Christ, a child of God, a wife, sister, aunt, and friend. I am deeply committed to living a full life, one that reflects good values, truth, and authenticity. I believe in the power of purpose, and I try to show up with intention, love, and integrity in all that I do.
What I do is an extension of who I am.
I’m a multi award winning TV & media personality, entrepreneur, producer, and speaker who uses each platform to build bridges between cultures, advocate for purpose-driven change, and elevate African excellence. At the core, I’m simply a woman on assignment-passionate about using my voice, my platforms, and my businesses to inspire, bring change and empower.
You’ve hosted everything from The Voice Angola to the Miss Africa Pageant. How do you bring intention and presence into live hosting—especially when representing African excellence on global stages?
Live hosting for me is about honoring the moment, the audience, and the message. I prepare thoroughly, I always research the place and the customs where I am hosting because it’s incredibly resourceful when trying to connect with a new audience.
Representing Africa on global stages comes with great pride and responsibility, so I always ask myself: “How can I show up with both professionalism and cultural authenticity?” I do that with the understanding that leaving a good impression isn’t just about performance-it’s about connection.
You’ve acted in some of South Africa’s biggest shows like Generations, Isidingo, and Inkaba. How has storytelling through acting helped you shape or shift narratives about African women?
Acting gave me the gift of empathy; it allowed me to step into lives that aren’t mine and reflect stories that matter. As an African woman on screen, I’m intentional about bringing complexity, strength, and softness to the roles I take. We’re so often boxed into one-dimensional stereotypes. I’ve made it my mission to disrupt that by embracing the full humanity of the women I portray, whether they are broken, brave, or becoming.
You created Acesso VIP and co-produced An Eye for an Eye. What does it mean for you, as a Lusophone African woman, to create content that reflects your culture and voice?
It means everything. For years, Portuguese-speaking Africans were often overlooked in the broader African media landscape. Creating content that reflects our language, rhythm, or realities is a form of cultural preservation, but it’s also about visibility. As a Lusophone woman, I carry the stories of my people with pride. Producing our own narratives ensures our voices are not just heard but respected.
Co-producing the Film an Eye for an Eye was incredibility exciting, because it was just about beautiful storytelling and escapism, it thought me so much about filmmaking, especially the business side of it.
Your advocacy work is particularly powerful. What was the personal moment or story that made you realize your platform could be a force for justice and change?
One moment I’ll never forget was when a young woman reached out to say she had decided not to bleach her skin after watching me on television & social media. She said I made her feel proud to be dark-skinned. That broke me, in a good way.
It reminded me that representation truly matters. People are watching, and sometimes, just being yourself boldly and publicly can give others permission to love themselves too. From that moment on, I became more intentional about how I used my platform.
The second moment (which really sealed it for me) was during a conversation with a young woman who had survived trafficking. She said hearing me speak out against it on a global stage gave her courage to share her story & stop living in shame. In that moment, I realized this was bigger than me. Visibility can save lives. I understood that silence is a luxury I can’t afford, and using my voice is part of my calling.
Let’s talk business. With WS Business Sphere and Sol Healing Wellness, how are you blending strategy and spirituality to build brands that serve both community and commerce?
Both ventures are rooted in service. WS Business Sphere is a strategy and communications company that helps people and businesses position themselves in the Angolan market with clarity, excellence, and cultural awareness.
With Sol Healing, my mission is to remind people that wellness is our birthright. Our bodies are constantly speaking to us long before illness appears. The wellness products under Sol Healing are rooted in nature-because nature was created by God, and God and nature always know best! These products are designed to help the body function at its optimal state, helping both body and mind, so you not only feel your best but look your best too.
I believe commerce and community can co-exist when there’s purpose behind the brand. My job is to create systems that honor both.
As someone who’s lived between cultures and languages, how do you think multilingualism has shaped your worldview and expanded your reach as a media personality and entrepreneur?
Multilingualism has been one of my greatest assets. Speaking multiple languages has allowed me to connect with more people, more deeply. It’s taught me to listen beyond words-to tone, to culture, to what’s left unsaid. Being able to move between Portuguese, English, and more has widely expanded my reach, yes, it has also given me access into very important rooms and facilitated a lot of business opportunities, but more importantly, it’s deepened my compassion and my ability to serve diverse audiences with respect and understanding.
You’ve spoken out about critical issues like human trafficking and youth empowerment. How do you manage the emotional weight of advocacy while protecting your own wellness and energy?
Advocacy can be heavy, mostly because the opposition, those who benefit from the issues we advocate against, are constantly attempting to drain or intimidate us.
So, i stay grounded through prayer, community, and boundaries. I’ve realized that I’m not called to carry the whole world, just to play my part. I take breaks when needed and remind myself that even Jesus rested. My faith keeps me aligned,it helps me pour out without running dry.
You’ve co-produced all three seasons of Big Brother Angola—what did working behind the scenes on such a major franchise teach you about leadership, storytelling, and audience connection?
Being part of the production of Big Brother Angola was one of the most transformative leadership journeys of my life.
It taught me how to lead with both precision and empathy. Once I heard and truly understood the needs of those I had to lead and assisted with those needs, I had the most loyal, hardworking team working alongside me.
It taught me the power of shaping narratives-not just for entertainment, but for national reflection. I saw changes happening in real time, within an entire nation, all because of a reality show. It also showed me that audiences don’t just watch-they feel. If you understand your audience, you can engage them in ways that are both entertaining and deeply human. It was a true masterclass in the art of connection.
Many women look up to you as a blueprint for being multifaceted and magnetic. What advice would you give to young African women who feel pressured to pick just one path?
You don’t have to shrink to fit into someone else’s idea of who you should be. You can be more than one thing. I believe that our gifts are divine, and we serve a creative God who designed us to reflect His multifaceted nature.
As it says in 1 Corinthians 12:4–6, “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.”
Your purpose is not limited to one title or role. Embrace the greatness within you and trust that God makes room for it all.
God created you with layers, and each one has a purpose.
