Africa has launched its social media-based platform, African Stream, in an effort to challenge existing negative stereotypes about the continent through cutting-edge, African-centred content. Headquartered in Nairobi, the platform has teams across the continent producing and distributing content through their own voices. African Stream’s mission is to reshape conversations and narratives about – as well as knowledge and appreciation of – Africa and its people. “I’ve been in the media my entire career and I am excited to create an African news platform to define our story in our voice," Ahmed Kaballo, founder and CEO office African Stream said. "I want to build a platform that represents all of that with emphasis on Africa on the rise,” Kaballo said.
