The dynamic Namibian trio of Pam MillerMichelle Bekker Welsh, and Heiko Dorgeloh, united by their passion for innovation, making a difference, and nurturing both people and the environment,  are on a mission to redefine the status quo.

Pam Miller, the creative force behind creatively functional lifestyle, brings her unique perspective and innovative approach to the table. Her passion for doing things differently is the driving force behind her work, challenging conventional norms and pushing boundaries in the pursuit of excellence.

Michelle Bekker Welsh of Dreamovator is a visionary who believes in the power of dreams. She is dedicated to making a difference in the world, one dream at a time. Her work is a testament to her commitment to inspire, motivate, and empower individuals to reach their full potential.

Heiko Dörgeloh, the heart and soul of  AboutAfrica.co and the Grow Namibia Foundation, is a champion for people and the environment. His work in Namibia is making a significant impact, fostering sustainable development and promoting environmental conservation.

Together, they form a formidable team, committed to creating a better future. Join us as we embark on this exciting journey of innovation, impact, and growth. Welcome to our world, where we do things differently, make a difference, and nurture growth. Welcome to the future.

Building on their innovative approach, the trio is leveraging the power of the AboutAfrica.co and Out Africa brands to generate income to support their projects. AboutAfrica.co stands out as the only LGBTQ+ accredited travel organisation, reflecting their commitment to inclusivity and diversity.

Creatively Functional Lifestyle, under Pam’s leadership, has been a trailblazer in the field of Hospitality and Tourism Recognition of Prior Learning. It was the leading producer of graduates of the pilot program, demonstrating its effectiveness in fostering talent and skills in the industry. Pam’s inspiring TEDx Talk on ‘careering the job’ further underscores her innovative approach to career development.

Meanwhile, Michelle’s expertise in event organisation adds another dimension to their collaborative efforts. Her knack for creating memorable experiences brings people together, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.

Their work is a testament to their belief in the power of innovation, inclusivity, and collaboration to drive change and make a difference in the world. Their journey is not just about making a living, but about making a life that impacts others positively.

 At the heart of this Media House is a commitment to research and development, ensuring that all projects are underpinned by ethical approaches. The team’s dreams span across Namibia, the UK, and Europe, with a focus on creating self-sustainable and apolitical projects that nurture both people and the environment.

These principles are deeply ingrained in their tourism business. For instance, wellness retreats in the serene landscapes of Namibia offer a unique blend of relaxation and personal growth. These retreats are not just vacations, but transformative experiences that promote well-being and self-discovery.

Similarly, conservation safaris offer an immersive experience into the rich biodiversity of Namibia. These safaris go beyond mere sightseeing, educating visitors about the importance of conservation and the role they can play in preserving these natural habitats.

The income generated from these tourism products is then channelled back into their projects, creating a sustainable cycle of growth and development. This innovative model ensures that every aspect of their work, from tourism to project development, aligns with their core principles and contributes to their larger mission of making a difference. It’s a holistic approach that combines passion, innovation, and ethical practices to create a positive impact.
