In 2017 she was nominated for The Shine Project as an important and interesting woman in the field of sexual health, empowerment and pleasure in South Africa, shining collective light on sex positive messaging and sexual empowerment.

She contributes extensively as an expert in her field to online, print, radio and television media. Seks en Jy, a series of 13 talks on the radio station, RSG, was her brainchild and was presented by Martelize Brink with Dr Craig as expert.
