AfriTales is a storytelling platform built for African writers to create, publish, and earn with complete creative freedom.
It all started with a simple WhatsApp story thread. A group of friends sharing tales from their daily lives, their childhood memories, their dreams and aspirations. The stories were raw, authentic, and deeply personal, uniquely African.
As the thread grew, so did the realization: there was no dedicated platform for African storytellers to share their voices and monetize their creativity. Existing platforms were built for Western audiences, with little consideration for African narratives, cultures, and perspectives.
That's when AfriTales was born, from the belief that every African story deserves to be told, heard, and rewarded.
"Growing up, I consumed stories from all over the world, but rarely saw my own experiences reflected back. AfriTales is my attempt to change that. To create a space where African stories aren't just told, but celebrated and rewarded."
— The AfriTales Team
"To empower African storytellers by providing a platform where their voices can be heard, their cultures celebrated, and their stories monetized."
