A mentor and an emerging creative reviewing a portfolio together
1on1 by Creative Nestlings

30 minutes with African creative leaders.

No vague "can I pick your brain". Pick one focus, share your work, and get a structured half hour with someone who has already walked the road you are on. Pricing, portfolio reviews, career direction, all in one place.

Free for creativesMentor-approved30 minutes, no small talk
01

Apply with intent

Choose one focus: portfolio review, pricing and negotiation, or career direction. Share your work and a 1,000-character note on the exact decision you are stuck on.

02

Your mentor chooses

Mentors offer one or two slots a month. They read every request, look at your work first, and confirm who they meet.

03

30 focused minutes

A video call with an agenda, not a chat. Afterwards you get up to three action points and a link to keep moving.

For creative leaders

Pledge 30 to 60 minutes a month and change someone's next year.

One or two slots a month, your call on who you meet, and a structured request in front of you before you say yes. That is the whole commitment.
