Africa Through the Lens of Her Own Storytellers
At StoryMi Academy
We believe in the power of stories to transform minds, inspire change, and build bridges across cultures. Rooted in the rich heritage of Nigeria, our mission is to nurture the next generation of storytellers—filmmakers, journalists, photographers, and creative minds—equipping them with the skills, resources, and support they need to tell compelling stories that matter.
