(CAJ News) – A ZIMBABWEAN-founded platform is making the most of modern technology to empower African women on the continent and abroad.
Thando Channel, founded by Sapi Bachi, comes at a time African social media bloggers and commentators utilising social media platforms to overturn the longstanding Afro-pessimistic stereotypes.
Such stereotypes portray Africa as a “backward” characterised by strife and poverty.
Thando Channel is a video-on-demand digital platform.
Content produced on the channel is driven by “a desire to showcase and unleash the power, grace, creativity and the strength of African women.”
The channel aims to explore ways to progress a gender as well as race.
