Marcus speaks with Moky Mokura, CEO of Africa No Filter, about storytelling, why it matters, and the work she is spearheading to shift narratives about Africa. “Because until lions learn to write, hunters will tell their stories for them. The only way to change a narrative is to change the underlying stories.'' - Moky Makura Moky also has her own podcast platform - Woman on Top

Africa's narrative has been historically viewed from various unfavorable lenses, informed by stereotypical views and opinions across the continent. In today's episode, we are joined by Moky Makura, the Executive Director of Africa No Filter- an organization whose mission is to connect and build the field of narrative change-makers on the continent. Moky believes that the only way to change people's perceptions is through storytelling. She speaks about her early exposure to different cultures and the understanding this gave her of her identity as a pan-African and global citizen- and emphasizes the need for cultivating ecosystems that support young creatives in driving positive narratives about our African continent.

The latest report by Africa No Filter investigates news and content about business in Africa and the impact of perceptions about Africa as a business and investment destination. It also identifies information and news gaps that offer alternative framing for business in Africa. The report shows another ‘scramble for Africa' by foreign powers is underway in international media and that keywords, stories, frames, and narratives associated with business on the continent are dangerously distorted. There is an overemphasis on the role of governments, foreign powers, and larger African states alongside an under appreciation of the role of young people, women, entrepreneurs, creative businesses, smaller successful African states, and Africa's future potential. https://africanofilter.org/the-business-in-africa-narrative-report

How do media narratives shape people's perception of the business environment in Africa?  This question is at the heart of an innovative research project by Africa No Filter called The Business in Africa Narrative Report.  The report identifies and defines several dominant frames that western and African media invoke when covering issues on the continent. It shows how these frames lead to narratives that are often distorted from reality and harmful to the business ecosystem across Africa. Joining me from South Africa is one of the authors of the report, Moky Makura, executive director at Africa No Filter. 

Moky Makura is the Executive Director of Africa No Filter. She was born in Nigeria, educated in England and has lived in London, Johannesburg and Lagos.

In a blow to the UK's tourist and aviation industries, the CDC has advised US citizens against travel to the country. We hear more from travel expert, Simon Calder. In Germany, catastrophic flooding has left at least 160 people dead and more than 170 others missing; later this week, Angela Merkel is expected to roll out an emergency aid package for those affected. We hear from the BBC's Damien McGuinness in the village of Nuerburg. And we examine the causes of last month's collapse of Champlain Towers South in Florida with Ana Bozovic, a real estate broker and founder of Analytics Miami and Benjamin Schafer, a structural engineer and professor at Johns Hopkins University. Plus, a news agency has been launched in Africa called Bird, which aims to find inspirational human interest and feature stories from across the continent. We find out more from Moky Makura, executive director of Africa No Filter, which has given its backing to the project. And we're joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the Pacific, Les Williams, associate professor at The School of Engineering at The University of Virginia and a co-founder of Risk Cooperative, and Lulu Chen, Asia Investing team leader for Bloomberg News in Hong Kong.

We examine the causes of last month's collapse of Champlain Towers South in Florida. Almost a hundred residents are now confirmed to have died in the disaster, and Steve Rosenthal, who lived in the building, tells us he was lucky to escape with his life. Ana Bozovic is a real estate agent who works near the collapsed block, and discusses the red flags that were raised about Champlain Towers South in the past. And Benjamin Schafer, who is a structural engineer and professor at Johns Hopkins University explains one of the main theories about why the building's structure failed so catastrophically. Also in the programme, as most remaining coronavirus restrictions are lifted in England, the number of cases of coronavirus continues to rise. That's given rise to what's been dubbed the 'pingdemic', where hundreds of thousands of people are being asked to isolate by the official Test and Trace mobile phone app, because they came into contact with someone who subsequently tested positive for Covid-19. Tony Sophoclides is strategic affairs director at UK Hospitality, and explains the impact it is having on the bars, clubs and other leisure venues its members run.
