The 20/20 Series is a pop-up event that takes us into the homes, hubs and workspaces of an array of dynamic creative visionaries to allow for relaxed, engaging conversations on craft, creation and artistic vision.
This series is created by Liz Hinlein and presented by the New York Film Academy. Each conversation with a creative visionary features 20 minutes of discussion with a moderator and a 20-minute Q&A from YOU, the audience.
In commemoration of Africa Day, the MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) commissioned MTF West Africa Alumni, Moses Akerele to write a poem for MTF’s Africa Month campaign under the DStv theme #TheAfricaWeSee.
The Africa I see by Moses Akerele
Africa is beautiful
Our Beauty radiates in the richness of our culture
In the beautiful ways we are decorated by nature.
The blend of our deserts,
Jungles,
Water,
Outstanding sceneries
