African stories in global conversations
Every year on 25 May, countries across the African continent and around the world mark Africa Day, with many extending the celebration into Africa Week.
With that in mind, it feels like the right time to pause and think about something powerful: the stories we tell about Africa, and who gets to tell them. Stories shape the way we see the world. They shape how we understand people, places, cultures, and possibilities. They influence how others see us, but also how we see ourselves. That’s why African stories matter so much, especially in global conversations.
