ANGA GCEYA is a senior account manager, at Soapbox South Africa, a behavioural design agency, and environmental educator for Captain Fanplastic This is his story... The novelist Paulo Coelho put it best: “Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” This makes me think about the shift my career has taken from a media communications enthusiast to becoming a keen advocate for environmental education as a friendly pirate – Captain Fanplastic.
