SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
In 2011 the centre took on social responsibility projects that provided various media platforms and tools to Youth in Action South Africa.
The centre continues to ferociously lead the way, developing local media professionals and content that is groundbreaking and revealing of African cultural capacity. This includes a 2013 activation of awareness for the legendary peace driven project, Festival of the Desert (Festival au Désert), a long standing partner with the media centre. Bring back our girls, etc.
As a social entrepreneur and a human rights activist who owns both a company and a network in collectives both JT Comms and Vanessa Perumal respond to numerous social responsibility needs in all sectors of business and on a community level.

#FeesMustFal l
Central to our communications platforms JT Comms is in a position to support the

We work in a collective and continue to offer assistance through this network to other human rights needs. Social Media is the main aggregator of how we organise mass support.

to use social media as a conduit to engage with their markets, create new revenue streams and introduce their product offering to global markets in collectives, using the technology to infl uence shifts in procurement patterns. The key driver of the platform is to position leading African Entrepreneurs, infl uencers, thought leaders and practitioners into strategic thinking collectives, and using technology as an enabler to introduce the #EntrepreurConnect collective and take products to markets. JT Comms sponsors the entire network.
Afr icans for Afr ica
The Africans for Africa Network is the brainchild of Vanessa Perumal and is making
bold, creative moves to ensure that there is a change African narrative. The Africans for Africa Network aims to change the prevailing narrative of Africa, from one driven by Western media to one that refl ects the inherent strengths and empowerment of the continent, across a variety of different, African-centred platforms.

Through our networks and partnerships with the African Diaspora Forum (ADF) JT Comms supports this campaign by resourcing the communication and human rights needs as the need arises.
BunniesInTheBurbs
Bunnies in the ‘Burbs is disrupting the African narrative and also advances how social
media can offer a platform where leaders in diverse sectors can take the opportunity to engage and positively mentor and inspire a new generation of thought leaders who can infl uence how African stories are shared, through culture, cuisine and conversation.
