African culture does not need Western validation to have value. At #APF2026, @Chude Jideonwo challenges #Africanphilanthropy to invest in our cultural power on our own terms. From Nollywood to Afrobeats, global influence began with local resonance.

Moved by Dr Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka’s address at #APF2026. My key takeaways: African philanthropy must invest in durable institutions, influence public policy, address structural inequalities and ensure young people shape decisions affecting their future.
