Zed Speak Ventures
Zed Speak Ventures is a cultural experiences, storytelling and heritage ecosystem dedicated to helping people experience, preserve and reimagine Zambian culture in meaningful and contemporary ways.
We create experiences, conversations and creative initiatives that explore culture not as something static or confined to the past, but as something lived, shared, questioned and continuously evolving. Through storytelling, cultural experiences, heritage preservation, creative expression and community engagement, we create spaces where people can connect more deeply with culture, identity and belonging.
Who We Are
