Afro Sages — *sharp, numbered analysis of African music, cinema, fashion, and continental culture written by someone who actually lives here*.
Most international coverage of African culture falls into two camps. The first is the breathless discovery piece that treats every African artist or filmmaker or designer as if no one before them existed, generally written by someone who has never spent a sustained period on the continent. The second is the boilerplate festival roundup that flattens fifty-four countries into a single category called "African" and treats the whole continent as one genre.
I write what a serious cultural-press desk would write about African music, cinema, fashion, and continental culture if the desk actually lived on the continent. Numbered. Sharp. Formatted to be read quickly. Written for readers who want analysis with teeth, not the soft promotional coverage that has come to define most African entertainment writing in the international press.
