Nothando Nyathi - Cultural Curator, Writer, and Storyteller
Nothando is a cultural thinker, writer, and emerging researcher working at the intersection of memory, design, and African selfhood.
Her work focuses on reclaiming African ways of knowing, especially the often-overlooked intelligence embedded in ancestral feminine practice, domestic rhythm, oral tradition, and indigenous material culture. Through writing and curatorial projects, she explores how these fragments of memory can shape how we live, build, and relate today.
She is the founder of EvolveHer, a creative and cultural platform that hosts sensory gatherings, intimate salons, and the Table of One series, curated spaces for women to explore solitude, ritual, and identity through experience. Through EvolveHer, Nothando blends aesthetic design with cultural healing, creating moments that feel both grounding and transformative.
Alongside EvolveHer, she leads Redefining Inheritance, a long-form body of work reimagining what we pass on, beyond land or wealth.
With a background in digital storytelling and community curation, Nothando now focuses on slow research, Substack writing, and immersive documentation. Her work has evolved from content creation into cultural intelligence.
She is currently building toward high-impact, low-noise contributions in cultural policy, heritage advisement, and African-centered strategic storytelling.
