ACROSS AFRICA “Telling The African Story From The African Perspective”
What: For my final project as mentioned earlier, I am going to develop a unique but interactive news website that will focus mainly on stories about Africa’s culture, politics, arts, business and other pertinent stories from my beautiful continent.
Why: This will provide an alternative to the usually different stories we hear from Africa’s wildlife and how a rare lion or elephant was found. While those are important and significant stories from Africa, often the culture and lifestyles of its people is either ignored or rushed through.
Who: I am excited to see how far this will go in reaching out mainly to Africans in the diaspora and anyone interested in African stories. I am looking forward to build a website like this or better.
