POSTS STORIES REELS

A milestone for Africa.

At Africa No Filter, alongside partners in the Correct the Map campaign, we celebrate the African Union’s historic leadership in correcting Africa’s misrepresentation on global maps.

By taking this decision, the African Union affirms Africa’s true size, significance, and rightful place in the world - advancing narrative justice, unity, and continental progress.

For too long, distorted maps shaped distorted perceptions. Today, the AU sends a clear message: Africa will define itself and be seen accurately.

This is more than a technical correction.
It is cognitive justice.
It is narrative sovereignty.
And it is Africa, standing together.

Africa is vast. Africa is central. Africa must be seen.

Opportunity Africa Movement is a platform for the brands, institutions, storytellers, creators and partners already helping to shape a more confident, opportunity-led Africa. Over the next three years, the movement will come to life through high visibility storytelling, cultural activations, media partnerships, influencers, digital campaigns and shared moments that others can join, shape and amplify.

If you are building, investing, creating or influencing Africa’s future, there’s a place for you in it!
Join the coalition, back the movement, build with us!

When does culture begin to speak for Islam?

Sometimes, the things we grow up seeing and hearing become so familiar that we begin to accept them as religious expectations without ever questioning where they came from.

But how do we distinguish between what our faith teaches, what our culture has handed down, and what happens when the two become difficult to separate?

In Episode 4 of After Maghrib: Voices of Faith, Gender & Becoming, we’re having this conversation with our guests as we explore the influence of culture on how we understand and practise Islam.

Episode 4, “When Culture Speaks for Islam”, drops After Maghrib !

“…there's a symbolic aspect to it. For centuries, many, many years, people have minimized Africa, geographically, economically, from every which way. They've always had this thing that the continent is broken, everyone's trying to help us, we're dependent, we need outside help. They've minimized us in so many ways. So for me, the map was a symbolic way of saying, we're not who you think we are, and that we're bigger than you think we are.” - Moky Makura, Executive Director, Africa No Filter

So, what’s the fuss about a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the use of the Equal Earth map, which represents Africa’s true size?

It’s true that General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding. But that doesn’t mean they are insignificant. They carry symbolic weight, reflecting the collective position of the international community and helping build momentum for change.

And this is significant: of the 165 UN member states that voted, 164 voted in favour of the resolution!

The next step? Turning this symbolic victory into tangible change by getting countries to adopt the correct map.

What are the people behind the #CorrectTheMap campaign planning next? And what can we expect to see over the next year?

🎧 Listen to Moky Makura unpack the significance of this resolution and what comes next in the latest episode of the #InspiredbyAfrica podcast.

Between the Africa that exists and the Africa the world imagines, there is a gap.

Our ED, Moky Makura, calls it the visibility gap. In her new opinion piece in The Guardian, she shows what lies on the other side of it: entrepreneurs, innovators and policymakers already building, solving and producing across the continent.

The progress is real. The question is whether the world is looking.
