Kizitio, from Zimbabwe, has a computer science degree and studied at the Wharton School of Business. Now, he's an entrepreneur, film maker, writer and thinker exploring the impact storytelling has on all facets of society and business.
He started The Tellers' Tribe, a body of storytellers who share the little known stories from their communities with the world. He's also a lover of Eastern philosophy, seeking peace and equinimity and a strong believer in the paradox that since nothing makes sense at all, thus everything is as it should be.
He loves a good challenge and sees presenting at Popcorn Club as his next one.
