Aimed at showcasing the diversity of the continent, the series is redefining more than just perspective, it's redefining the social landscape of this generation of young Africans. We're thrilled about this and hope you'll join us at the launch, June 12th in NYC! See the flyer above for more info and add My Africa Is on Facebook and Twitter.
