ABOUT US


THE SINGLE STORY FOUNDATION IS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES
STORYTELLING OPPORTUNITIES FOR AFRICANS AT HOME AND IN DIASPORA.

The Single Story Foundation challenges the Western narratives and seeks change
in the way the African narrative is told. We do this by fostering an environment
where young Africans can promote their technological, creative, educational, and
imaginative achievements or developments. We seek to change stereotypes through
visual art, literature, and performing art. At The Single Story Foundation, we
believe that storytelling is one of the ways we can fix the damage caused by
Western storytelling.



Our Mission Statement is to create awareness, drive education, advocate for the
realistic storytelling about Africa and prevent future stereotypes.

And our Goal and Objective is to enhance the overall image of the African
continent and its people. The declared purpose of The Single Story Foundation is
to help tell Africa’s story in a truthful, realistic presentation.

FOUNDER
