"I just want to speak to the filmmakers out there. Storytelling is incredibly important—it’s a reflection of who we are. Don’t stop what you’re doing—keep going. As my co-panelists mentioned, use whatever tools and resources you have access to in order to keep the spirit of storytelling alive. We need more stories, and we need to preserve our cultures."-@WabwireWa, KQ Creative Hub (@kq_hub) director.

Afrika must redefine itself on its own terms by decolonizing existing narratives about its history, politics, and culture across disciplines. Western constructs cannot continue to define Africans in the contemporary global discourse.

Honored to chair an illustrious panel at the 2nd National Symposium for Creative Industries in Uganda, hosted by @UGAPAFOCI & @UgBritish. Grateful for insightful discussions with industry leaders like CK Japheth, Kasadah, Barbra Babwetere, and Faith Aweko. CULTURE POLICY MATTERS.

Art + Activism = Change. But It’s a Formula Philanthropy Largely Ignores.

Shifting cultural attitudes is the key to lasting social change. That’s why grant makers need to encourage and support alliances between artists and advocates.
