brand & strategy development for This is Africa

I am a trustee of TIA platform, steering a group of progressive thinkers working remotely from Kenya, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. I joined the team at in 2018, with a clear brief that I needed to transition this amazing project from the corridors of RNW Media in Netherlands, into a self sustaining local organisation somewhere suitable on the African continent, perhaps the first African owned Media house, one that is dedicated to the cause of Africans on the continent and across the globe. We are still at it!
