community
A home for Africa’s boldest storytellers.
At Africa No Filter, community is more than a network. It’s a movement. We bring together content creators, journalists, and artists as well as arts, culture and media organisations that are reshaping the continent’s narrative.
African Narrative Collective.
Does your storytelling about Africa highlight the continent’s resilience, creativity, and opportunity? Then WE WANT YOU to join the African Narrative Collective. As a member of The Collective, you can look forward to:

But first, we want to know a little more about you, so please take a moment to fill out the form. Please only apply ONCE, as either an individual or an organisation. NOT BOTH!
