Founded in 2010 by Teresa Clarke, Africa.com was built on a clear and enduring conviction: that the world deserves a more accurate, more complete understanding of Africa. The platform was established to move beyond reductive narratives and present the continent in its full complexity — its economies, its institutions, its innovations, and its people. Across journalism, convenings, and strategic partnerships, Africa.com informs and engages a global audience while centering Africa’s achievements, momentum, and long-term potential. It is a platform driven by genuine commitment to Africa’s future and to the broader global conversation that future demands.
