Building the structures, partnerships, and capital to power East Africa’s creative economy
Nairobi, Kenya
“Grammy-winning global icon Burna Boy opens this trailer with a countdown — ushering in one of the most ambitious Pan-African films ever made. Shot across Nigeria, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Mauritania, 3 Cold Dishes is a gripping thriller of revenge, survival, and sisterhood. Three women, bound by trauma, reunite years later to serve justice in the coldest way possible. 🎬 Directed by Asurf Oluseyi 💥 Executive Producer: Burna Boy, Bose Ogulu & Osas Ighodaro”
“In a world where widowed women are left to “walk in their husbands’ shoes” — tending farms, running households, and holding families together — Rodah Nafula Wekesa emerges as both hero and healer. A widow herself, she navigates the fragile terrain of grief and mistrust with grace, balancing tribal, cultural, and modern laws to mend broken families and restore peace. Her restorative approach to justice offers lessons that transcend borders — a powerful reminder that reconciliation begins at home. Rodah Nafula Wekesa is The Widow Champion. — Shakira Refos”
