I am an Impact Producer, and Social Entrepreneur working at the intersection of Storytelling, Public Policy, and Impact Media. I've spent a decade deploying my unique medley of media production and public service skills to propagating conversation and projects that have yielded significant Social Changes in the areas of Girls Rights and Education, Youth Engagement, as well as Peace building and conflict resolution in my conflict prone homeland in Northern Nigeria.
Today, I am Chief Executive Officer of DelMedia Productions, a Lagos based TV & Film Production House, and Founder of its Social Impact Media Arm - Velocity TV. Prior to my current assignment, I served as Creative Director and Executive Producer at DLA-Impact.Ed, Discovery Communications Non-Profit in Africa.
My trajectory is currently set to harnessing digital transformation and migration, to accelerate the pace of Social Change in Africa through storytelling, using the power of Technology and Mass Audience Engagement.
VelocityTV is an OTT streaming service primarily producing content that is socially conscious, instructive and geared towards re-iterating and re-enforcing narratives that'll effect changes to perceptions, cultures and traditions that hinder social change at the fundamental and systemic level in Africa.
Using short-form content between 5-15mins, VelocityTV will deliver audacious entertaining films, series, documentaries, and masterclasses laced with social narratives, with the sole objective of engaging audiences with ideas which subliminally or overtly challenge the status quo, and ignites conversations around Social issues, Public Policy, Socio-Economic Structures, and the need for cross-sector reforms etc.Our content is designed to ignite conversations in the digital space and migrate to communities.
We seek to fully democratise information and entertainment by spearheading the online migration of digital natives and their forebears in rural areas and urban slums, by providing content with options in select local African Languages to secure their longterm inclusion and engagement.
Our service targets intellectuals and upwardly mobile audiences, but with a laser focus on the last mile, the rural and illiterate populations who speak little or no English, who are currently less inclined to spend time online for lack of content in languages that they speak or understand.
The scale of the challenge to make information and entertainment accessible to vast spades of Africa's rural and Peri-urban population, in a manner that not only informs, but shapes their thinking to play a role in effecting the change they seek, thus impacting their communities and personal trajectories using the knowledge and opportunities that technology provides, is large.
We're targeting the 670,000,000 registered mobile phone-devices in Sub-Saharan Africa, a fraction of the UN's estimated 1.4billion people living on the African Continent. 45% of Africa's young upwardly-mobile middle class population of 300,000,000 will constitute our paying market. However, we see a strong viable market in the NEET Population (The Not in Employment Education or Training)
The service will launch with The English and French Lingua Franca, with options in languages with the most populations starting with Hausa and Swahili which have vast non English speaking rural populations of 66,000,000 and 98,000,000 speakers respectively.
VelocityTV is a Short-Form Video on Demand Service offering High-Impact TV & Film Content in English, and other African languages. Upon downloading the App or visiting the site, audiences will enjoy a standard package with entertainment ranging from Self help videos, Pop science content, Drama Series, TV shows, Masterclasses, documentaries, Shorts, Feature Films, Pop culture and current affairs shows,all laced with varying underlying social change narratives, with options to view in local African languages.
To serve the existing internet savvy Africans, the NEET, and a massive diaspora audience, we will operate a Freemium Business Model. Essentially creating two tiers of the service, with Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) and Advertising Video On Demand (AVOD) thus making some content available to a larger audience for free, but tied to advertising, and at the same time allowing its premium content to be fully monetised, and paid for by a more economically robust audience base.
All self help and learning content is made free ensuring our low income users access to the most helpful material for their information and development. A USSD service will allow our low income users the option to pay a token per view, for access to more premium entertainment.
There are two distinct demographics who will be positively impacted by the launch of VelocityTV.
Africas Intelligentsia, the upwardly Mobile at Home and the diaspora: This is a well tested market growing by the day and spending heavily on home-grown entertainment and information.
Rural Communities/Low-Income Groups In Underserved Communities: Here, we have Africans both young and old who aren't able to access the internet for two primary reasons. First is the cost of data, and second and most critical is the absence of content that is accessible and enjoyable.
Traditional media for all its short comings, accommodated most non-mainstream demographics and outliers in print media, radio and even on Television, however, the internet hasn't been kind to non lingua franca speaking Africans, literate or otherwise.
VelocityTV is counting on the falling cost of data and the rise of the proliferation of android phones below $15 across the continent to change this, by harnessing the current mass migration of low-income digital natives onto the internet, and bringing the generations before them online to consume entertainment and information as it becomes available in a language they speak and understand.
We ultimately believe in getting Africa's forgotten demographics connected within the coming decade.
- Elevating understanding of and between people through changing people’s attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors
Our mission at VelocityTV addresses two dimensions of the Elevate Prize.
A. Elevating opportunities for groups traditionally left behind; Upon activation of service, within our first 24months, we aim to drive 24million first time users to the internet via our engagement of low-income, rural and urban-slum communities. Making language content and first time devices accessible will finally drive the inclusion of these forgotten demographics.
B. Elevating understanding and changing people’s attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours is at the core of our mission, and informs our choice to strictly pursue social narratives that subliminally alter perceptions via Africa's first Impact-Centric VOD Platform.
Early in my career while Producing a Youth Empowerment Program titled Generation-next, I found we could hold policy makers and high-level public servants to account if we put a camera in front of them, and asked the tough questions. The ensuing debates and call for clarity on social issues and public policy from the audience, challenged the status quo and gave young people a voice. Our submissions to Government Ministries and Agencies, although often ignored were acknowledged. In the end,Generation next greatly encouraged Public figures to volunteer time to mentoring young people from the community, encouraging them to join public service.
The outcome of this experiment in my home community very much cast my trajectory for what I wanted to accomplish with DelMedia when it was founded. Much as I wanted to tell stories and make films, I wanted these stories to mean something in the struggle for the society we want.
Increasing the number of school going girls in Northern Nigeria through narratives I crafted and disseminated for Discovery's Impact Arm solidified my convictions.However Delmedia profits went into funding our altruistic ventures and impact films which rarely make any revenue, to build for longterm impact, I created VelocityTV.
As a Film Maker and Impact Actor,I've had the opportunity to work extensively in rural communities, Urban Slums as well as upper and middle class circles, having done this for almost 15 years, the disparity still shocks me afresh every single time.
As someone who's come from very humble beginnings myself, I’m often haunted by the amount of talent, skill and potential I encounter in these back waters, brilliant innovators who may never make it out of these crannies, and not for lack of trying, but because of a total absence of opportunities, due to a lack of information and guidance.
I recognise these patterns all too well, because I'm now aware that the difference between myself/family, and our other neighbours who never made it out of our slum was, and still remains access to education, information, and degree of adherence to certain age old traditions that have traditionally held certain groups within society back (Girls).
The pressing question then became, how do we accelerate the pace of change without stoking resistance, and subliminally alter perceptions, enlighten and educate on a large scale, within a system rife with corruption and a Government Regulated Media terrain? Adopt Technology and Go OTT.
My curiosity and love for self-development has led me down a unique path that's seen me train extensively with the best local and global brands in the requisite fields of Impact, Film making and Public Service, making me highly qualified to straddle a multi-disciplinary endeavour of this nature. Social Impact, Media Production and Public Narrative succinctly captures my career.
Having led a successful Media Production House for 13 years, worked for Discovery Communications, Viacom's MTVBase Africa and DSTV’s Multichoice In Executive and Field Production Capacities on and off The African Continent, I feel very prepared to head a Pan-African Media Enterprise to impact yielding proportions.
Having worked at the NTA, led multi-disciplinary teams on development projects for The US State Department's Equal Access Project, DFID and The UK’s Girls Education Challenge, served as Technical Adviser On Media To The Executive Governor of Plateau State, Gov. Simon Lalong, and also as Director Media for his re-election Campaign, I have come to be exceptionally skilled in Government Relations, as well as developing and managing cross sector partnership for Media and International Development Programs, with a view to delivering projects that yield visible and measurable impact within the assigned target demographics, for the longterm.
My in-depth knowledge of the African Media space,its vast demographic spectrum and audience variance, as well as my experience in International Media Business will further assist me in transplanting the industry's global best practices into our processes at VelocityTV, while taking into account the peculiarities of the African market.
One of my strengths is being an incurable optimist. That said,I don't expect good things to simply drop into my laps from heaven either.
Through my working life I have had to overcome varying challenges, a short one was in the North of Nigeria. Being a woman, the youngest in a room, and having to chair a cross-disciplinary team of men and one woman on a Development Project in Kano State in the core North of Nigeria where women are considered to be second to men and most girls are denied an education, was a learning curve.
The dynamic of the group set the endeavour to a lukewarm, if not cold start. reports were been delayed, recommendations and deliverables ignored to the degree it began to affect milestones and deadlines. At this point, I took the initiative to have one on one individual interactions with all seven of them. It gave everyone the opportunity to air their concerns and fears, valid or not, they were heard. We followed up with a most productive project, and they all turned sympathetic because I handed them the responsibility to decide if we fail or succeed, and they decided it was better to succeed.
MTV is successful brand in the West, but in Africa Channel O was the Visual Music brand to watch in 2010 and my assignment was to simply take their place.
I was excited to be joining Viacom as a Producer, however the realities on ground were dire. After weeks of minor tweaks to the format of our headline show, and not affecting the audience ratings, I took a leap and revamped the existing template, redesigned segments, cut down shoot hours by 35%, and got the team their weekends back, including a day off after late night shoots.
This greatly boosted the team’s morale and greatly increased the technical quality, speed and efficiency of the show. Working with this same team, we went on to make The Big Friday Show a pop culture staple on African Television and set its host Basket Mouth onto a redefining phase of his career as one of Africa's leading comic. The Big Friday Show remains MTV’s most successful show in West Africa.
This experience left me with a deeper understanding of what makes Organisations work; Putting people first. A lack of performance does not always spell ineptitude. I've taken this lesson into every role since.
- For-profit, including B-Corp or similar models
VelocityTV Currently Partners with Delmedia Productions to Produce all its Social Impact Narrative Films and Documentaries.
The goal is for Velocity Studios to take over all Production Activities from Delmedia as soon as the platform is able to stand on its on own.
Delmedia Productions and Velocity Share a Founder.
VelocityTV's innovative move to adopt an OTT Service like Video On Demand, primarily used purely for entertainment, and adapt it to accelerating Social Impact on a large scale via the infusion of distinct social messaging techniques across all content, and making said content accessible to non-English audiences both, literate, and illiterate with the view to accelerating the expansion and inclusion of new African internet users, is the first of its kind on the continent.
Bringing digital natives from large underserved demographics online - and having them introduce their forebears to the language option, and spear heading a first time-user device with pre-installed VelocityTV App and pre-arranged Voice and Data Packages from Partner Telcos is an innovative approach to on-boarding this traditionally abandoned demographic.
A key element that gives our solution the potential to accelerate Africa's innovative success, and skill acquisition into exponential numbers large enough to impact wide demographics across the continent is this; The deployment of VelocityTV's short-form content in English and French, as well as key local languages, automatically bringing forgotten demographics online. (The semi-literates, individuals lacking a formal education, and illiterate-poor) In one swipe, we will make a vast knowledge based content library accessible to millions from these underserved communities, in consumable languages and format.
Our knowledge based content will appeal to the intellectually inclined and upwardly mobile urban population, however, providing high-impact content that is entertaining to our low-income audience at no cost, is a revolutionary adaptation of Video On Demand yet seen in Africa.
As an Impact Centric Video on Demand service offering highly entertaining knowledge based content to mass audiences on and off the African continent, with a view to altering perceptions that hinder Africa's continent's socio-economic advancement, while propagating narratives that further progressive thought and actions, our theory of change is simple - We believe in the thorough and absolute democratisation of information and entertainment, and are on a quest to see media content delivered in a manner that allows it drive equity and opportunities for all Africans.
This stems from a firm belief that information holds the power to drive action or instigate inaction, and entertainment reserves a rare capacity to shape popular culture and society's contracts around accepted values within its systems. This then translates to a need for change agents to exert a firm presence of social narratives that celebrate, uphold, and entrenches the values and changes we seek for society, in media content that is consumed by Africans.
This is critical because, without deliberate action to provide counter narratives to the existing ones that are divisive, patronising, glorify corruption, and are oppressive to groups within society, we risk setting the efforts and gains of social progress back on an exponential scale, here on the African continent.
We are having to watch with horror, the global weaponisation of the media, and the paths to the disintegration of values surrounding truth, and expertise, not to mention the rise of alternate facts and deceit across both new and traditional media. If information is power, and if media content is king in shaping glocal narratives, then all peoples must be allowed access to media that is non-toxic, empowering, entertaining and moving the continent and the planet towards a more unified and sustainable future.
These and many issues cannot be resolved over night but overtime, with information, education and re-enforced messaging in accessible content, bearing the accompanying nuances, over and undertones. This access to information, and knowledge based content to pique audience curiosities and alter perceptions, is the core element of the change VelocityTV is stepping in to provide on the African continent.

This service is set to revolutionise the way underserved communities consume content, but even more critically, will accelerate the digital migration of low income digital natives and other members of the NEET Population (Not in Employment Education or Training) onto the World Wide Web where they’re more likely to find resources that could help alleviate their economic and social circumstances. The nature of our content means most of it will need to be originals commissioned and not necessarily acquired, a process which consumes a decent amount of resources.
As of today, we do not stream any content, as we are working on building the partnerships that will enable us raise the proof of concept funding to set up the Technological back end and UI required to deliver the best possible UX for our users, as well as a wide and engaging library of titles that will guarantee audience retention by deploying an entertaining and learning experience on activation.
Within a year, I intend to raise $650,000 to drive the activation of the convergence of Africans onto a single platform that informs, entertains, and enlightens an army of change makers who will in-turn be the catalysts that ignite the African Renaissance.
I would considered our mission accomplished when in five years, we are able to boast of 35million users of our service, with more users from underserved sections of the market. This will indicate we are reaching audiences across board and effectively integrating new users of our service onto the internet.This is critical to our longterm success as only 35% of Africans exist in the upper and middle classes.
In five years, we want the VelocityTV App on the gadgets of 1 in every 50 Africans on the continent, pre -installed on Televisions and Phones headed for the Africa market, and used by 1 in every 25 African living in the diaspora, as well as business' looking to keep abreast of opportunities on the continent, and lovers of good African-Storytelling.
The Apps' capacity to provide 10 Major Language options on existing library content will be essential to our declaring success in five years.
Within this timeline, we envisage our library of Originals to have exceeded 1500hrs, and open source content, commissioned and licensed material to be doubled. VelocityTV will by now offer weekly premieres of featured content and headline shows.
Advertising and Subscription Revenues to rise enough to cover Operational Expenditure,while Capex remains stable, not requiring immediate new investments.
Funding is a challenge for us, particularly as a female owned enterprise,it has been difficult finding support for the proof of concept in my region of the World. I seek either $650,000 to build a working prototype that can be launched in 18months to be tested in Nigeria alone, or a $1,500,000 to roll out a regional Proof of concept that'll focus on West Africa, while including one East African Language -Swahili.
Upon launching VelocityTV, the early downloads of its App from play-stores and apple-store will be led by the local upwardly Africans, the diaspora communities, and the continent's digital natives and upwardly mobile residents. We foresee challenges to on-boarding the rural and low-income communities due to their not being used to interfacing with Technology. Here, we will employ extensive "How To" Explainer materials, as well as broad long running marketing campaigns in traditional media to familiarise both demographics with the brand and how to use the service.
The goal is to find partnerships with the expertise and Networks to take the vision to the right funders who can work with us to take the service to market. The technological expertise currently lacking but can be resolved with the infusion of funding, and engaging the expertise to look at the service and advise on the best course of action, which is to either build out our servers and manage our backend in-house or outsource to a reputable cloud computing service.
Advisory in Fund Raising, Technology, Business, and Marketing is needed.
At the minimum, I'll need $650 for a prototype, or proof of concept funding of $1,500,000 or a first series investment of $6,000,000 that allows us dive into producing the 3,000hrs of content required to activate VelocityTV to a Pan - African Market, dub the first 7 language versions, invest in the Technology and the Brand, while making longterm plans to expand into MENA markets and the rest of the continent, ultimately driving the digital inclusion of mass audiences across the African continent, and revenues concurrently.
The market barriers we foresee particularly for the free AVOD Service is the large numbers of people coming online from underserved demographics will mostly not have email addresses to subscribe with. We will create a solution that lets them download the App using a phone number, and if they wish to upgrade their subscriptions, a USSD Code can made available.
We hope to resolve our Fund Raising Challenges, and are currently scouring our Networks and speaking to our Local Bank Of Industry, as well as pursuing grant opportunities Internationally, and finding platforms like Elevate to help guide us through the right processes that will yield positive results. Starting with a Tech and business advisory. We will greatly appreciate guidance to raise our much needed Proof of Concept Funds in equity and grants or a first round funding in debt and equity, to activate a working platform that can at least have a soft launch to stress test the system and our model.

We currently Partner with Delmedia Productions as our Production consultant and narrative director.
However, our reach has expanded considerably as over the past 3 years VelocityTV has partnered with other Social Impact bodies to host events at the UN Head Quarters to drive impact through Storytelling.
VelocityTV's latest Social Impact Film is titled “LARABA”. It addresses issues around Girl’s Rights in Early Marriage. It is set to premiere at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, at the next UNWomen’s CSW conference.
We were already in Manhattan getting ready for the premiere when our prior March date was canceled due to the Pandemic breaking out in New York.
Non of this support is monetary, it is however good exposure for our work and we greatly invest in rare opportunities like this to show case our work with a global audience, and hopefully find partners and supporters for the longterm project which is the streaming service.
We will operate a Freemium Business Model. Essentially creating two tiers of the service, with Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) and Advertising Video On Demand (AVOD) making some content available to a larger low-income audience for free, While fully monetising fresh content that will be paid for by a more economically robust consumer base.
In offering some content for free, we tune the minds of our non-paying subscribers to the exclusive content they’re missing, initiating their eventual conversion to premium subscribers by adopting the use of USSD Codes to allow very low-cost options to pay per-view, and allow limited downloads within small windows.
The value of free content will be pegged to advertising for the consumer, and the cost of customer acquisition for the first 36 months will be invested in offering free VelocityTV pre-installed devices to select sections of the underserved markets. The free AVOD Service will only be made available to subscribers within targeted regions within Africa with all self development, Masterclasses, News and current affairs, and select documentaries available on the free service. This will ensure that at points they cannot afford subscriptions, the underserved consumers from low-income sections of the market can access our human capital developing entertainment service.
The NEET forms over 60% of our market. They are mostly between 14 - 55years old, most likely to own a phone, and spend between ($1 - $15) on Voice and data on a monthly basis. Velocity will be providing entertainment, guidance and hope to this demographic.
Given the traffic expected on the service, the primary source of revenue for VelocityTV is from Advertising on the free tier service of the streaming Platform.
Our secondary source of income will be from SVOD subscriptions. Revenue from subscription will be driven by the African diaspora market, and resident upwardly mobile intellectuals looking to access our ever growing library of relevant African entertainment, self development, intellectual, News and Current affairs, and documentary content.
Direct Product Placement in our content; Our longterm strategic plan includes investing in one-off international Social Impact features with narratives right for global distribution as well as local consumption and community screenings for local Public Engagement and Town-hall conversations.
Other means of generating revenue further down the line include Licensing and distributing content from our catalogue within non-competing markets, after a long run on our platform. This will mean liquidity to invest in more complex projects and a wider variety of knowledge based entertainment for our subscribers.
Form strategic partnerships that allow the convergence of like minded brands, grant making Organisations and International funding bodies to support content that furthers mutual principles and interests while benefiting our target audience.
I am yet to raise any external funding for VelocityTV. We are currently not operational or generating revenue.
The Projects we carry out are personally fund, with some support from family.
We seek to raise a total of $1,500,000 to invest in the Technological Backend, Marketing and Brands Communications, as well as a rich content Library of varying genres of content featuring high impact entertainment and an array of Masters Classes and self development nuggets from a cross section of Africa's most credible intellectuals and thought leaders, to enable the Launch of a Pan-African POC of VelocityTV.
As an Innovation and New Media Startup requiring time to build out, launch, aggregate traffic to the service, and carve out a business edge in the Tech & Knowledge space in 18-40 months, we would opt for patient capital for this proof of concept phase. Preferably a grant, or funding approach that takes the peculiarities of our processes into account.
Also critical to our longterm financial plan is raising the succeeding series of funding to grow the business into an independent profit making enterprise. Here, the current goal is to raise $6000,000 in 3years, and 13,000,000 over 5years. to build a fully functional language platforming servicing the continent.
To this end, we are open to conversations around stakes in the business for a seat at our table, or in impressive circumstances, for a Founding Senior Partner with the antecedents and expertise to fill this gap.
Longterm we intend to manage the VelocityTV with a mix of Debt and equity. To start off, we are open to both and as well as the options of grants, low interest rate development loans and the likes.
Our estimated expenses for 2020 is currently at $55,000. Early in the year we spent $32,000 preparing for a United Nations Premiere of our latest film project which was canceled after we had flown in guest, Actors, Panel Speakers etc who were booked in hotels in Manhattan. Media and marketing budgets were expended, all of which was non-refundable. We still intend to hold the premiere when invited back to the United Nations in a Post-Covid World.
We are currently working on a Documentary with a thematic focus on the rise in sexual and domestic violence cases in Nigeria, most of which have resulted in the deaths of many women. There is an ongoing movement to lobby legislation to increase sentences, change the attitude of Policing towards reported rape, and provide support for victims. We are in the research Phase and will commence Filming "Daughters of Silence" in September 2020. We intend to keep our budgets between $15,000-$20,000.
Also in the pipeline for us is a Feature Film on The Aba Women's Riot of 1929. A pivotal moment in British colonial Nigeria, where a group of market women mobilised across state-lines to march over 50,000 women to the face their colonisers to demand their rights to consulted before the imposition of unfair taxes. Our budgets makes an accommodation for ongoing research and scripting writing of this next feature.
Our Projected spend for the year is totalled to not exceed $55,000.
The role of homogeneous language sharing in proliferating knowledge in human societies through history, cannot be over-emphasised. Regulated forms of media like the traditional Print, radio and television initially reinforced homogeneous and local trends by providing similar content to mass audiences at the same time and in the same language. In places like Africa, options in the Lingua Franca served to unified vast audiences as well.
Today, media has moved online, yet across the World, but even more glaring in Africa, it has left large sections of society with extremely limited, or no content in the digital space, while options are thinning out in the traditional media that they do have some access to. This has made digital engagement, entertainment and e-learning the preserve of the elite and digital natives from the upper and middle classes, and no lower. This status quo presents a development conundrum on the continent.
VelocityTV seeks to drive the democratisation of information, entertainment, opportunity and the knowledge required to effect positive change across the African continent, to all Africans able to use a simple mobile device, thereby driving the digital migration of millions from underserved sections of our society.
We are applying to finally connect with the Advisory and eventually financial resources to develop an extensive Library of General knowledge Information, Leading Edge Market Insights with Cyclical TX content designed to empower an enlighten Africas innovators, as well as entertain that educates and empower mass audiences to take positive action and responsibility for their futures.
- Funding and revenue model
- Mentorship and/or coaching
- Board members or advisors
- Marketing, media, and exposure
My current Partnership Goals include Advisory in varying categories ranging from Technology to Business Advisory. As a New Media Venture deploying content via a Streaming Service, we will like to work with an advisory with deep insights into the back end of VOD Technology and advertising-models. Experts who can offer many permutations the future of the Technology been deployed today can pivot towards. Information like this will help us invest mainly in Technology that is future proof and easily upgraded to meet our future needs.
Board members with business expertise and Social Impact antecedents are options we are looking to partner with, to build VelocityTV into a working solution to the lack of high impact knowledge based entertainment on the continent.
Media exposure for the project and founder to drive our extensive good work in other areas may help our Fundraising drive, this a critical part of our challenge.
Tech Advisory that guides us to identifying and deploying a winning UI & UX, along with a reliable integrated security and content delivery system that will be cost effective and efficient.
Funding - We will appreciate guidance from the Elevate Team, in directing our current search for Funding. Any thoughts on which Impact Drivers, Grants, VC Funds or alternative Funding Organisations who might be interested in working with us to actualise VelocityTV's launch, will be welcomed.
We also would like to Partner with The World Bank's We-Fi Program, as it currently funds Women Owned Businesses From Africa. The United Nations Social Impact Fund (UNSIF) is a Partner we are interested in working with because we share aligning objectives. Even more critical in this funding drive is coaching and mentoring for our founder from someone recommended by the Elevate Team
I will like to explore a partnership with Participant Media. As a Leading voice in Impact Media, their guidance will be priceless to our plan to fail fast, smart and pick up momentum very early, but even more critically, a willingness to Partner with us on future projects to take African Impact Stories to the heights they have achieved with American stories, possibly sharing our stories with a Western audience as well.
A partnership with Netflix to purchase our Feature length contents on activation will be a strong way to ensure licensing cash flow, and provide the funding to carry on creating our short-form content.
