ABOUT

At Cannes Lions 2022, I soft-launched my new initiative #AfriCannes, designed to bring more African Representation to Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity through partnerships, conversation & community.

For a continent that offers SO much, it was wild how excluded SubSaharan Africa was from Cannes in 2019. Unsure if this was intentional or not, I wrote to Ascential a couple months after, got a green light from Philip Thomas & Sophie Ahmed back in 2020 & here we are today! ✅????

What made the #AfriCannes launch even stronger, was our KILLER panel ????????
