Take Step Africa 🌍

Take Step Africa is a global innovation agency, publisher, studio, and incubator for networked knowledge and culture Take Step Africa is also a big idea and a global movement to improve the human experience in the digital world. It’s become a common term for participatory media – a collaborative, user-generated alternative to “the” media. it’s a placeholder for the complexity of how we know what we know through journalism and the systems used to produce it; through marketing, advertising, education, art, work, and our personal connections to people and organizations we trust; and through old and new kinds of stories, produced and distributed by anyone, that surround us in the social, mobile culture. Take Step Africa shapes politics, democracy, and power; and censorship, surveillance, and the power of control. Take Step Africa is expansive and awkward. It includes storytellers, technologists, entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, publishers, designers, startups, political and social activists, evil-doers, creation, disruption, information overload, a world of choice – and choices about how we live, and learn and care for each other. Take Step Africa is curated and edited by Marlon Tshimanga. Since 2018 he has convened and facilitated a global network of media, technology, business, and creative leaders.
