The hope is that new education and mentoring initiatives launched through the partnership will help foster both the lost generation and a new generation of creative professionals, showcasing their skills and telling their stories to the world.
Through their collaboration, Elba and Abudu aim to nurture a more inclusive and diverse media landscape where stories in the diaspora are given the same attention and respect as other cultures and communities.
They both call on industry leaders globally, the wider public sector, governments, and multilateral agencies, to help them grow talent globally and build capacity around Africa.
