Where Stories Shape the Future of Africa
A literary platform celebrating Africa’s rich heritage of faith, culture, family values, and bold storytelling — empowering women and youth across the continent.
The Africa of My Dream Series (AFOMDS) recognizes the power of Africa’s heritage — our faith, diversity, culture, and family values — to shape a prosperous future.
We empower women and young people to tell authentic African stories that highlight identity, values, innovation, and resilience. These stories will inspire the next generation and rebuild Africa’s reading and creative culture.

AFOMDS will also stimulate interest in storytelling, reading and new media.
These are stories that will define the continent’s prosperity tomorrow.
