Where African creativity meets artificial intelligence. A fellowship for the next generation of storytellers, builders, and innovators.
Mentors who are actively working at the frontier of media, film, AI and tech — not just theorists. Real experience, transferred to you.
Every track culminates in work you can show the world, not just certificates. We measure success by what you ship.
Thousands of alumni across 28+ countries who open doors for each other. The community outlasts any cohort.
The fellowship is a signal. Employers, investors, and collaborators take notice — and so do we.
Every week pushed me past what I thought I could do. The projects are real, the feedback is brutal in the best way, and the results speak for themselves.
Yusuf Musa
Product Design · Cohort 2024
2024The network alone was worth it. I met my co-founder here. We've since raised pre-seed funding and are building infrastructure for creative businesses.
Kofi Asante

2023Within six months of completing the program, I had signed my first brand deal and grown my audience to 80,000. KAFellowship gave me the frameworks I was missing.
Ngozi Eze
Creator Economy · Cohort 2024
2024I came in as a developer who knew some Python. I left as someone who had built a working AI tool used by 400 people in Lagos. The mentorship here is unreal.
Damilola Fashola

2022KAFellowship didn't just teach me filmmaking — it showed me what African storytelling could look like when done without apology. My short film screened in three countries last year.
