SEDD AFRICA

Empowering African Youth Through Storytelling

What we do

Our philosophy

What's important for us...

For centuries, Africa has supported the world, but its stories have been silenced, distorted, or ignored. This misrepresentation fuels identity crises, cultural disconnect, and lost opportunities for young people. By "flipping the script," we strengthen cultural identity, inspire creativity, and unlock economic potential in Africa’s $29 billion creative economy.

Who we serve
