The African Diary
A Living Record of Africa, One Conversation at a Time.
STORIES. INSIGHTS. LEGACY.
The African Diary is a storytelling platform documenting the people, ideas and stories shaping Africa.
We tell the stories behind the people, businesses, ideas and moments shaping the continent.
We tell African stories through conversations, profiles and visual storytelling.
From a founder building something new to an individual making a difference in their community, we bring their stories, experiences and perspectives into view.
We speak with the people shaping Africa.
One conversation.
Many ways to tell the story.
The African Diary brings people into the room and gives their stories more than one life — through intimate video conversations, podcasts, written profiles and visual storytelling.
A conversation may begin at the table, but the story continues beyond it: in the full conversation, in the podcast, in the written word, in a single powerful question, or in a moment worth sharing.
One voice. One story. Many perspectives.
From Nairobi to the rest of Africa.
The African Diary begins in East Africa, with stories and voices that reach far beyond its starting point.
Africa
A living record of the people, ideas and stories shaping Africa.
The African Diary is creating a lasting record of contemporary Africa — documenting the voices, experiences, ideas and journeys of the people living, building and shaping the continent.
From founders and investors to artists, farmers, innovators, leaders and young Africans, every story adds another page to the African story.
These are more than conversations for the moment. They are stories to be heard, remembered and returned to — preserving a picture of Africa as it is being lived and shaped today.
