Pamodzi Creatives is rooted in the African philosophy of Ubuntu – “I am because we are.” This belief in shared humanity, mutual care and collective growth underpins how we celebrate inspirational stories and create opportunities for people to support one another. We see Ubuntu in action through initiatives such as the Pamodzi Inspirational Women of Portsmouth Awards, where the celebration of local people is also used as a platform to raise funds for Haven Women’s Drop In Centre.
We create inspirational spaces that celebrate creativity, build connection, and challenge social inequalities.

Some words from our community
“This was a really fun, lively, entertaining, and at many points very moving evening. Loved all the entertainment. Kim’s keynote speech was excellent, and reminded everyone of the importance of women working together and supporting each other”
“An endorsement of the power and achievements of the women in Portsmouth. It needs more celebration and recognition in Portsmouth and further afield!”
‘We have the privilege of belonging to a blended, multicultural family in Portsmouth and all the idiosyncrasies this embodies…we are one big family absolutely committed to an equal and just society, and we loved being part of a photo shoot trying to spread the same message!”
“The project made me realise that every person has a story to tell, its only when are given such platforms like this that you realise we are all overcomers….after sharing my story I was amazed by the feedback from mums who related to the same issues I went through”
“I have attended ceremonies in the past and this was outstanding! I was entertained, I was fed and overwhelmed by the beauty of the attendees!”
“It was brilliant! The hosts were fantastic! The venue was brilliant and the food delicious. The entertainment was next level. I feel so proud to have been a part of it and think this is the best event of the year for our city. “
“Brilliant work, I will definitely be attending next year! It made me [feel] really special to be a part of this incredible city. I didn’t appreciate Portsmouth so much before the event, now I LOVE IT!”
“I have learnt about time management and what it is like to accomplish tasks that I have been set. I have also had the chance to express my creative and artistic skills, and this has helped me become more confident. It has really taught me to ensure i have thought of everything in all aspects, and that teamwork really can make a dream work. I have met some amazing people throughout this experience, and I feel I have learnt a lot about how to become a successful woman, not only in a career aspect, but on a personal level as well”
