Founder's Statement
"After more than twenty years of reporting for mainstream news organizations, including The New York Times, CNN, Al Jazeera, VICE, The Atlantic, Voice of America, France24 and other platforms, I realized that traditional journalism as we know it has severe limitations when it comes to creating the African societies that Africans want. This is because traditional journalism still operates with the “if it bleeds, it leads” mentality, therefore, stories of terrorism, famine, conflict and corruption in Africa were asked of me by editors, much more often than stories of innovation and achievement."
