Chimwemwe Chipidza Headed To The World Monologue Games Global Finals

A few months ago Chimwemwe Chipidza entered the World Monologue Games as an amateur and now 2 rounds of the competition later she's set to be among the few names competing in the global finals. In the first round, she made it as 1 of 9 from 650 who had entered the competition and she jokingly pointed out she was finally part of the 1%. She's competing in the amateur category which is 1 of 6 categories featured in the competition this year. 

The young creative is also set to be part of MultiChoice Talent Factory's 2022 Academy Class.

I entered the World Monologue Games and yesterday morning I received this email.

One of 9 out 650 people, finally part of the 1%😎

I am so overwhelmed by this (I cried a little bit lol). Thanks to the judges for this recognition.#WorldMonologueGames pic.twitter.com/qw7bzZsT2u
