Michelle Benjamin and Georja Umano, author of Terriers in the Jungle, share a wonderful friendship rooted in their mutual love for the arts, especially filmmaking.

Georja has been a recurring guest on the People of Purpose Talk Show, where they have delved into topics such as wildlife conservation and Georja's work as an author, screenwriter and other aspects of her film career.

One of their notable collaborations involved discussing Georja's multiple-award-winning book, Terriers in the Jungle, a narrative inspired by her experiences in Kenya with her dogs, Romeo and Roxy.

Their shared passion for purposeful storytelling and creative expression has also strengthened their friendship for their contributions to art and humanitarian efforts, with Georja recently receiving recognition at the Matera Film Festival in Italy, an achievement that Michelle wholeheartedly supported and celebrated, while in South Africa. Their friendship is a testament to the power of creative partnerships in inspiring meaningful change.
