Buzz: Pop'Africana


[Ajak Deng in Issue 2 of Pop'Africana]

Blogosphere has buzzed non-stop about the rising phenomenon that is Pop'Africana since the beginning of the year -- and rightly so. If you've flipped through the pages of Pop'Africana, seen one of their electric editorials, or even stumbled on their blog, what you'll find in a fresh and refreshing voice unlike any other. Africa isn't one thing, or one place, neither can it truly be summed up in one sentence. However, Pop'Africana comes quite close to summing up the beauty that exists on the continent and Diaspora with content and images that capture Africa's uniqueness and diversity. We can't wait for the day Pop'Africana is stocked on every stand and placed on every coffee table everywhere. World domination, Pop'Africana-style? Yes, please.
