Voices of Africa: A publishing home for African storytellers

Voices of Africa came to us with a clear problem: existing publishing platforms either buried African writers in a global feed with no local discovery, or offered clunky, ad heavy tools that hurt the reading experience. We built a publishing platform free of distractions with editorial tools for writers, audience analytics editors could actually use, and a reading experience optimized for lower bandwidth mobile connections, since most of the platform's readers access it primarily on mobile data rather than home broadband. The platform now hosts long form journalism and essays from writers across a dozen African countries.
