What does it take to make a creative project investable? At the Creatives Fundraising Workshop in Nigeria, 50+ producers and ecosystem actors gained practical tools to close the “packaging gap.” The key lesson: great ideas aren’t enough—funders look for projects with clear feasibility and a strong route to market. This shift is helping creators move from hopeful applicants → strategic partners. Join the #EntertainmentandMediaHubs community and don’t miss the next session.

The internet can be brutal sometimes. One post, one outfit, one comment section — and suddenly strangers feel entitled to dissect your body and make you feel small. In this episode, we unpack the culture of keyboard warriors, online trolling, and the impact careless comments can have on real people behind the screen.

I'm Taking my Graphic design skills to the next level with the GATEWAY program! Last weekend I applied for the gateway program as a graphic designer. If there's something I believe in is "we learn to unlearn and relearn" I signed up to go deep into graphic design, the very task I was given was something I have been running away from as a Designer. I always thought it was a difficult task until I attempted it, to be frank it's challenging and fun at the same time. I was tasked with creating a brand identity for a coffee business from Kenya. I enjoyed every bit of it I don't know what other tasks would look like but what I know is I'm ready for it #design #brandidenity #brandkit #graphicdesigner #coffeeshop
