Africa’s digital renaissance feels deeply personal. Each creator is crafting a piece of a much larger narrative where Africa tells her own story. This new wave of creativity shows that the future belongs to those who dare to show up authentically. These digital creators are not waiting for access; they are building their own doors and walking through them with confidence, showing the world that Africa’s most significant export is no longer raw materials but raw talent. Every post, podcast and video adds to a growing symphony of self-expression, redefining what success looks like for a generation that values impact over approval and substance over noise. Theirs is a movement grounded in vision and sustained by community. As Africa continues to rise on the global stage, one thing is clear: the future is already here, and these digital creators are shaping it. They aren’t just influencing culture; they’re writing the blueprint for what influence itself will mean in the years to come.

Read our cover story about African digital creators on pages 8 to 10.

Shoes say a lot about a person. They aren’t just something you wear on your feet; you can tell a lot about a person’s style and personality from their shoes. Regardless of the occasion, having the right pair of shoes is important. Our fashion pages discuss the types of shoes every man should have. You’ll find this on pages 4 and 5.

One of my biggest pet peeves is saying, “ I’m five minutes away,” when you haven’t even showered or thought about what to wear. Apparently, it’s quite common for people to respond in that manner. I find it so annoying. That’s what the luxury silk page discusses this week. I would like to know your thoughts on this sort of behaviour. Scroll to page 12 for this.

Until next week, enjoy your read.
