Reclaiming Africa’s Narrative

Vision

“A continent where African voices lead the global conversation, shaping the narrative of who we are and who we can become.”

Mission

“To equip and inspire the next generation of African journalists, filmmakers, and storytellers with world-class skills, mentorship, and opportunities — empowering them to tell Africa’s story with authenticity, creativity, and courage.”

The Story Behind the Academy

Africa is full of incredible stories — but for too long, many of them have been told from the outside. As a journalist reporting across Africa for international media, our founder saw both the beauty of African stories and the gap in opportunities for young Africans to tell them.

The Africa Broadcasting Academy was born to close that gap — to provide high-quality, practical media training that prepares young Africans to create, produce, and broadcast stories that matter. From small beginnings, we’ve grown into a hub for talent, creativity, and bold storytelling.

What We Do

• 📰 Journalism & Investigative Reporting – Producing stories with depth and accuracy.
• 🎥 Documentary Filmmaking – From concept to camera to screen.
• 📱 Mobile Journalism (MoJo) – Turning smartphones into powerful newsrooms.
• 🎙️ Presenting & Voice Training – On-camera confidence and audience engagement.
• ✍🏽 Scriptwriting & Story Development – Crafting stories that connect and inspire.

Our students work on real projects, producing content that has been featured on both African and international platforms.

Our Impact

• 100+ young media talents trained from across Africa.
• Alumni now working with BBC, DW, CGTN, TRT Africa, and leading African newsrooms.
• Student-produced stories broadcast in over 30 countries.
• Partnerships and training collaborations with leading media and cultural organizations.

Why We Exist

The world knows parts of Africa’s story — but not all of it. Too often, what’s told is incomplete, inaccurate, or one-dimensional. We believe that when Africans tell their own stories, the world gets a fuller, truer, richer picture. Our mission is to ensure that every talented African storyteller has the skills, tools, and opportunities to share their voice — and shape how Africa is seen.

Partners & Supporters

We’re proud to have worked with respected media organizations, cultural bodies, and industry professionals who believe in the power of African storytelling. Together, we’ve opened doors for young creatives who now work across Africa and beyond.
