Akhule Jikelo
Student, Designer, and Artist in South africa, eastern cape, flagstaff, 4810, nqabeni, Taleni location
I’m Akhule Jikelo (also known as AK_Da_Blaq_Eagle), the founder and brand ambassador of the Pain Changed Me (P.C.M) clothing line. Since launching in 2018, inspired by Emiky from Skeem Saburhashu, I’ve spent over six years building my brand and creative footprint.
I’m an award‑winning recognized artist (honored by X‑Mobile Studios) and simultaneously manage Beasts_Of_Dancers, a troupe of talented young dancers. As a songwriter, story director, and comedian, I bring narrative and performance into everything I do.
My long‑term aim spans multiple creative paths: I’m working to become a fashion designer, story director/writer, and singer. Teaching and helping others along the way is a core passion of mine—whether that means mentoring aspiring creatives or supporting people in need.
