Today, in the lead up to Africa Day, we\u2019re announcing our third iteration of \u201cMade by Africa, Loved by the World\u201d \u2014 <\/span>The Rising Stars Edition<\/span><\/i>. This year\u2019s campaign aims to amplify the voices and stories of eight emerging young talents across Africa who are building a global presence, and changing the way the continent and its people are viewed on the international stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Representing several creative industries ranging from music, fashion, lifestyle to art, this year\u2019s self-shot vlog-style short stories provide a glimpse into the creators\u2019 world and highlight how being African drives them to push creative boundaries. As part of the celebrations we\u2019ll also be running a dedicated community Reels challenge \u2014 <\/span>#ShareYourAfrica<\/b>, encouraging the African community on Instagram to celebrate and share with the world what\u2019s uniquely authentic and African to them \u2014 whether through dance, music, fashion, food or art<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to celebrate Africa Day this year by amplifying the stories of just some of our talented rising stars from across the continent who are shining a spotlight on African culture, music, food, dance, fashion, and so much more in their own voices. Every day, we see young African creatives use Meta technologies, like Instagram and Facebook, to share their stories, express themselves, and bring people together in incredible and inspiring ways. We\u2019re proud that our technologies have a role to play in amplifying these voices and stories, both locally and globally.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
