OkayAfrica, the leading digital destination connecting a global audience to African culture, introduces the second annual OkayAfrica100 Women campaign to jumpstart Women’s History Month. The interactive campaign celebrates extraordinary women from Africa and the diaspora making waves across a wide array of industries, while driving positive impact in their communities and the world at large.
The OkayAfrica 100 Women List spans 10 distinct categories: STEM; literature; TV and film; sports and wellness; style and beauty; media; music;business and economics; politics and activism; and art. Each of the honorees are selected based on achievement, impact and influence within their industries and communities within the last year. The prestigious List is unveiled by way of video docuseries, a collection of inspiring written profiles, an interactive social media campaign, and a range of on-the-ground activations throughout the month. With an overarching focus on building community across bounds, each year’s honorees are creating a legacy for women of all walks to learn from and be inspired by.
OkayAfrica continues to speak directly to Africa’s consumer base of one billion, with cutting edge cultural stories and curated experiences, while connecting international audiences to the best of what the continent and its diaspora has to offer.
