Kenyans in the social media are increasingly keeping an eye on how Kenya/Africa is reported. One particular incident that stands out was #someonetellCNN, a hashtag that was a brazen response to a skewed reportage of events leading up to Kenya’s election on March 4th. They were as humorous and communicative as they come. Also, last year, an advert stated: ‘Fly to Nairobi with Korean Air and enjoy the grand African savannah, the safari tour, and the indigenous people full of primitive energy.’ Primitive energy was the phrase that sparked so much indignation from Kenyans (especially on twitter)...More>>>
Image. That is all that matters. For centuries, the image about Africa had been about an impoverished, malnourished baby dying of hunger. And that baby, lying with ribs sticking out, has been the stereotype that has been painted of Africa. And that baby has conjured more images about Africa: Africa as a continent of dying children, of poverty, of vulnerability, of a victim and not a victor…
And it has been through the lens of the camera ...More>>>

If you haven’t yet watched the Coca-cola advert titled “Africa Let’s Go Crazy”, then I advise that you should. But this advert is like no other. Watching it, one gets a true picture of Africa but which depiction is not condescending or demeaning. It speaks about the simplicity and difficulties that the people of Africa go through but at the same time speaks of their kindness and happiness. It humanizes Africa. It does not tell outright lies. Yet, the idea behind the advert is a noble one ,,,More>>>
