Over the years, we have seen a lot of Africans making waves internationally, especially in fashion, music and film. This has led to many people born to African parents embracing their roots and taking pride in their origins. Show4Africa is taking a further step in educating Africans about their motherland and the amazing talents it produces. Show4Africa will allow Africans to open up dialogue on issues which are often too sensitive to talk about but affect us tremendously. The show will also create a platform for Africas doing great things in Africa and around the world as well as non African who are equally doing great things that positively affects the African community.
Show4Africa is going to be the show to watch and with a lot of celebrities lined up to join on the discussions, it is going to be thought-provoking and entertaining. Show4Africa will be airing on a Sky Channel for the UK, US and European audience and in most African countries in the near future. Fellows us and you could be a guest on the show.
Karl Lake:Capturing Beauty
07 Feb 2012 Leave a Comment
Many will agree that beauty is a relative concept that is diverse from one culture to another; nevertheless we cannot ignore the impact of the media in our definition of beauty. This is a reason behind our African beauty episode and in other to have diverse views on African beauty and its representation in the media; we invited one of the most renowned photographers to have a chit chat with Show4Africa. Karl Lake has shot almost any kind of beauty but can he always spot an African beauty? Do African models lack representation in the media and should the media do more to represent Africans/black models? Look out for his interview on Show4Africa
