My Story
Molweni, Howzit, Bonjour, HI!
The brand Bella Monsoon was established in 2018 and has since become an integral part of my life.
I currently create both photographic & video content around a multitude of topics with a particular focus on tackling the psychological aspects behind true crimes- particularly within the country I live in- South Africa.
With the ever growing and changing digital landscape- more media is being consumed online than ever before and this is why I find it pertinent to ensure the important narratives that need to be told…are.
I am the queen of teaching myself new skills (if I do say so myself) and I will admit, I am a perfectionist. So currently I research, compose, record and edit every bit of content and audio I put out. (Yeah, it’s a lot!)
Buuuut…my literal motto for life: She believed she could; and so she did!
Thank you for being a part of this journey
XOXO

The Road Thus Far
Remembering Their Names
The main aim of the content I produce is to ensure that the victims of heinous South African crimes are not forgotten and do not become just another statistic; another number.

MENTAL
“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”
-Albert Einstein
MAYHEM
Remember their names. Remember their stories. They are not another statistic.
MAKEUP
Makeup is not a mask. Makeup is art. Makeup is passion. Makeup is expression.
Through academic study and experience- my field is within the mental health sphere. I am a psychology honours graduate with experience and training in trauma counselling amongst other things.
I have used this knowledge and my continuous growing passion for psychology, criminology as well as forensic psychology to fuel the information behind the content I create.
Every video I put out is researched, compiled, filmed and edited by myself. I aim to always have respect and honesty in everything I do.
I’ve always been fascinated by the true crime genre and ever since working within the mental health field- I have grown to see cases and those involved in them in a very different light too.
I am currently placing a huge focus on cases within South Africa. Not only the ones you may have heard of but also those that you would never come across. The aim is not to sensationalise the events but rather to remember the victims of these heinous crimes and ensure that they are not just another number.
Before I started my social media accounts (in 2018), I was a stranger to makeup and honestly didn’t have a clue on where to start. I found the entire industry incredibly overwhelming with so many products to choose from!
Unfortunately after many unpleasant in-store experiences trying to understand more about what I needed to achieve the looks I wanted to, I turned to Youtube. And soon, I taught myself everything I know today. From SFX makeup with prosthetic pieces to everyday glam.When I started posting my content my goal was to make beauty INCLUSIVE and not intimidating.
Supporting my Work
Here’s the thing…
As I say every episode, without YOUR support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I believe that this series and the cases I share are vital to be heard by a larger audience. I have the commitment, the passion and the dedication to continue this work…my only wish is that I could spend more time creating the content I do thus posting more regularly.
But to do that…I need your help.
