The need for  global  African children's brands and platforms is vital. Just as Disney, Nickelodeon, Sesame Street, and Cartoon Network have worldwide impact, powerful African voices in children's media are essential.

Children's media holds immense power as it shapes young minds. Unfortunately, there's a severe lack of media portraying Africa positively and educationally. It's crucial for African children to access media reflecting their culture and values.

Writing stories that speak to the masses is not just about selling books, it is about making sure that African literature remains relevant as a mode of expressing popular consciousness.

For the Black Diaspora, these global African voices connect them to their heritage, fostering a sense of identity and pride. It also counters negative stereotypes that non-Black African and non-African Diaspora children often encounter in mainstream media.

Establishing powerful African voices in children's media is our responsibility. Many individuals, from authors, to illustrators and animation studios, are working hard to make this a reality. The future looks promising for the emergence of influential  African global children's brands.

The Scribes Media, a digital publishing company, is one of the firms at the forefront of this mission, uniting writers, illustrators, and animators of African heritage to craft content for the young demography.

We are coming up with ALO. An App that will carry a library of literature books, comics, phonics, graphic novels, animations , games and other education and entertainment content from creators of African descent.

If you are a writer, illustrator, and animators who creates content for children, please click on the links below to join the community where updates will be provided on the onboarding process.

Please kindly share this information with anyone who might be interested in this opportunity.
