Become a Contributor – Join the UjamaaLive Network

Your Voice Matters

At UjamaaLive, we believe the most powerful stories about Africa are told by those who live them. We’re building a vibrant network of writers, journalists, photographers, videographers, and creatives who share our passion for authentic African storytelling.

Whether you’re an established media professional or a first‑time storyteller, your perspective can help shape how Africa is seen — by the continent and the world. Every voice adds a new layer to the African narrative, and we want yours to be part of it.
