From performer to finance lead, Ampuan Hafiz's journey at AICREATIVV is a story of growth, balance, and belonging; proving that sometimes, you find your team before your title.

Two generations of AICREATIVV interns returned to IBTE—some still studying, others now working—to share what the classroom can’t teach. Their full-circle stories were a reminder that growth starts when you try, and meaning follows when you give back.

At the Indigenous Exchange Festival (IXF) 2025 in Miri, Elroy Ramantan joined regional creatives to tackle a big question: how do we balance culture and commerce without losing meaning? His reflections highlighted the importance of intention, accountability, and collaboration — showing how Indigenous stories can thrive when guided by respect.
