Accra, May 20, 2026 – Africans Communicating Africa (AfriComms Africa), a pan African foundation committed to strengthening authentic African storytelling and nurturing a new generation of African communicators, will officially launch on May 26 in Accra.
The event, which coincides with this year’s Africa Day celebrations, is expected to bring together thought leaders, communication professionals, media practitioners, creatives and storytellers for important conversations on how Africa is positioned globally and how Africans can take greater ownership of the continent’s narrative in a rapidly evolving AI driven world.
Seasoned professionals from academia, corporate communications, diplomacy, governance, the creative arts and the media are expected to share insights on how Africans can shape and influence narratives across sustainability and climate communication, political communication, corporate communication and diplomacy.
The summit will also focus on the growing influence of youth driven digital storytelling and how it continues to shape Africa’s image, voice and future on the global stage.
Speaking ahead of the launch, Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, a Communications for Development Advocate, described the summit as a strategic platform for bold dialogue, diverse perspectives and meaningful collaboration among African communicators.
“The Communicating Africa Summit brings together and showcases leading voices in Ghana and across Africa from different communication spaces, reflecting the evolving landscape of African storytelling,” she said.
“Africa has never lacked communicators. What Africa needs are alternative, rich spaces where communicators can come together to exchange ideas, challenge perspectives, inspire new thinking and collectively shape the continent’s narrative,” she added.
The launch marks the beginning of a broader movement aimed at strengthening Africa’s narrative power while building a vibrant community of professionals committed to telling Africa’s stories with clarity, confidence, authenticity and purpose.
African communicators, media professionals, storytellers, creatives and institutions that believe in the power of authentic African narratives are being encouraged to participate in the launch and join the growing movement focused on shaping how Africa tells its story to the world.
