Hello!

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my page :).

Since, I've been a child, African history, stories, music and languages have always interested me. For example, did you know there are approximately 2000 languages spoken in Africa ALONE. A continent with 54 countries speaks that many languages! to me, that's fascinating and what I find more fascinating is that no one really knows the true amount. African, history, culture and languages alongside many other things have been erased throughout history by other civilisations, but the continent still stands strong! which only deepens my love for it.  Being of Nigerian heritage growing up in the UK, I was misinformed with an idea of Africa which I now know to be false, since early last year I've been travelling around Africa which has led me to this very point. 

At the start of 2019 I set off to experience everything African and though I've been to nearly every other continent, there is no place like Africa! With your funding, I hope to capture the true essence of African architecture, music, culture, cuisines, clothing, traditions and so much more! My vision for 2020 is to showcase travel in Africa to dispell some of the myths surrounding African countries. Africa is not a war-torn, impoverished continent as the media paints it out to be, in fact, the continent is rich in natural resources and over 30% of the WORLD's resources come from Africa. I also want to start a business where I help African artists/craftsmen sell their work on a global platform. I have a youtube channel where I create African related content however, due to me not having the correct videography equipment, I have lost a lot of my footage on my travels. I need better equipment and more financial capital to create more content. With your donation, I plan to buy  good quality camera and video equipment and get my business plan underway. 

Any amount you can give would help a lot! Even a share can help me so much! :) 

I appreciate you taking the time to read this. If you would like to see the type of content I've already made, feel free to check out my Instagram or youtube channel; youngAfricanvoice.

Thank you and stay blessed!
