Home to the best creatives, the Wireless gig is launching a new project called ‘A campaign for creatives in the diaspora’ to empower and amplify young creatives living in the diaspora by giving them a voice.
The project seeks to raise awareness of the struggles these creatives face, and how the gap between the local authenticity of creatives and the global influence of the international markets can be bridged.
The Campaign features 16 episodes starring 16 influential and talented creatives, as they immerse us with captivating stories of how they built their brands, their struggles, success stories and valuable advice. This campaign intends to educate aspiring creatives to equip them for the global scene.
The first episode will be dropping this June and features one of the UK’s best Afrobeats hosts and founder of the Mae management consultancy group, Gracey Mae, who will take us down the nostalgic road of how they established a remarkable presence in the African diaspora despite all odds. Subsequent episodes will spotlight other dynamic entrepreneurs, each with their unique journey and insights, including tech innovators, fashion designers, and social media influencers.
Speaking on the project, the Wireless Gig pioneer Pascal Ikenna, popularly known as Oluwa Ican, remarked, “As a community of creatives, our focus is always on creating a networking platform to build and inspire other young creatives around the world. We believe the youths are the future and intend to encourage and promote their creativity through growth and exposure.”
The Wireless Gig is a community of creatives and entrepreneurs, aimed at creating a networking platform to promote growth and exposure. It is a free space of self-expression, and the community avails resources and ideas to support members’ individuality through community building, training, and mentorship. With over 300 members, the community has successfully organised and partnered with many youth empowering programs such as the Amala festival.
