About the Founder
The vision behind Icons of Africa Awards.
Natasha Patience Mncube
Natasha Patience Mncube is the visionary founder behind the Icons of Africa Awards—built to spotlight the people moving the continent forward, not just the most visible names. Through her work across Pan-African platforms (including SheReignsAfrica Network and the Shining Stars Africa Awards), she has committed herself to one mission: make African excellence impossible to ignore.
What sets Natasha apart is her insistence on credibility. She speaks openly about awards that are not driven by friendships, gatekeeping, or “who you know”—but by impact, consistency, and contribution. The Icons of Africa Awards was created as a prestigious, professional space where leaders, creators, innovators, and community builders are honoured with dignity, transparency, and a continental standard.
This isn’t just an event to her—it’s a movement: a platform for African unity, story-telling, and recognition that elevates the continent’s narrative on the world stage. Icons of Africa Awards exists because Natasha believes Africa deserves its own global-level spotlight—bold, organised, and uncompromising.
