OUR MISSION

“We’re on a mission to build a new mainstream shaped by Africa’s culture and stories"

We will realise our mission by educating the world about Africa(ns) through content and experiences that resonate – Tola Alade, Founder

We believe Africa’s culture and stories are its most valuable asset. But despite the growing consumption of African music, fashion and entertainment by the global mainstream, there are still negative and incomplete perceptions of Africa(ns). We believe having new African perspectives in the mainstream will change the continent's image for the better.

OUR PURPOSE

  1. Be the catalyst of a culture collaboration between Africa and Western culture.
  2. Educate and entertain a growing audience inspired by African culture, content and its creators.
  3. Curate and create exceptional content that advances the influence of African culture around the world.
Unity, not uniformity. Never stop exploring. Experience is everything
