What we're looking for

Stories that are lived,
not invented

📚

Student Life

Campus culture, hostel stories, lecture hall moments, student unions, the real cost of living as a student — share the unfiltered day-to-day of African campus life.

Written & Video
🎭

Entertainment

Music scenes, student comedians, campus events, local artists blowing up — if it's entertaining and real, we want it covered by someone who was actually there.

Written & Video
💡

Hustle Stories

Side businesses, skills you're building, money you're making between lectures — the entrepreneurial spirit of African students is one of the best stories on the planet.

Written & Video
🎥

Video Content

Short-form or long-form. Campus vlogs, day-in-my-life, opinion pieces to camera. If you can film it, verify it, and it represents real student life — we'll publish it.
