However, as an award-winning Film and Television Actress, social justice and civil rights activist, sponsored athlete, educator, scholar and social entrepreneur, Hlubi also tackled some other very important topics such as;
- Education for empowerment
- Women & the SA entertainment industry
- Alternative distribution
