<span>Dear Maryam,</span><br>
<span>Thank you for your mail. My organisation, Afrotribune is an Online Pan-African story telling organization. It’s an attempt to change the negative narrative of Africa. The project mission is to tell Africa’s positive stories. Build a media empire that
can assist, narrate, educate, impact and empower Africans, start-ups, artists, investors, successful entrepreneurs, etc.</span><br>
<span>There is a positive side of Africa that is often neglected. These are stories of change, hope, young people driving change, unsung heroes and heroines, the rich nature and cultural heritage and much more. These are the stories that we tell and we will
continue telling the world to make sense to our existence and the next generation.</span><br>
<span>Aside from telling African success stories, we inspire other young minds to start their own business and create contents that focus on Africa for Africans and the diaspora.</span><br>
<span>Best,</span><br>
<span>Emmanuel</span><br>
