Our Story.

African Voices Platform (AVP) was established as a television show called African Voices airing on Sheffield Live TV and YouTube in 2018. The first episode discussing Donald Trump’s shithole comments about Africa was hosted by founding CEO Baillor Jalloh, a Sierra Leonean and Guinean journalist based in the UK, and Dr Nkululeko Sibanda, a Zimbabwean Political Analyst, on 3rd February. 

From March 2018, Tchiyiwe Chihana who is from Zambia was a regular guest and joined the team in July. In April 2019, Rwandan Enoch Karimba co- hosted his first show and became a member of the team which has since been representative of the Southern, Eastern and Western regions of Sub-Saharan Africa.

When Baillor conceived of African Voices, the aim was for a media hub where Africans both at home and abroad were able to convey their own stories through various mediums such as TV, radio and the traditional African storytelling, griot.
