African Lens

The African Lens is a thought-provoking weekend radio show that captures the soul of Africa through the stories we tell, the traditions we live, the languages we speak, the art we create, and the politics we navigate. The show takes listeners on a curated journey through the African culture, identity, and collective memory, helping us understand not only where we come from but who we are becoming.

At a time when Africa’s narrative is often shaped from the outside, The African Lens reframes the conversation from within, offering a bold, respectful, and deeply curious space where tradition meets truth, and heritage fuels transformation.

Africa is not a country. It is 54 nations, 2,000+ languages, and thousands of distinct cultural systems. Yet its story is too often told as one-dimensional, exoticized, politicized, or erased. The African Lens exists to challenge that. It offers African audiences a space to reclaim their narrative, discover each other, bridge generations, geographies, and identities, learn from the past, celebrate the present, and imagine the future.

This is about self-definition, preservation, and cultural transformation.
