Giving credit and showing love to the cool kids of Africa, young people making a difference in their countries through the arts, photography, and other creatives. These are my top 5 favorites!
Kenya

For me Kenya is Africa’s most creative country, they also have the most African flag on the whole continent and I must add their women are plain blank beautiful perfect skin hair and that accent melts my heart every time, OK you get the picture am obsessed and I can certainly go on and on.
Sweeney Queen has an eye, an excellent eye for the art, it is vivid through her work, she tells such an authentic story through her lens. Her work comprises of everyday life in east Africa specifically in Kenya, she makes you feel the love pain hopes, and failures of her people through a captured moment.

Kenyan cultures have amazing colored textures and beadwork, Sweeney does a beautiful job in celebrating Africa’s finest. Kenya is on my bucket list of places to visit and following @sweeny_queen's work has given me a new love for this scary piece of Africa.
Ghana

People of the coast
Ghana is a blessed nation, all the goodness of blackness was first given to them, the dark complexions that grace the streets of Accra are something envious. I love the people of Ghana and so does Prince Gyasi.

Prince Gyasi popularly known as @princesjyesi is a Ghanaian creative that prides on showcasing the beautiful glorious dark people of Ghana. The story of the people of the coast is relived through his pieces which show average lives of everyday Ghanaians.

Zambia

The real Africa
Zambia is known as the real Africa because it shows the true meaning of African-ism, in cultural traditions speech, and pretty much everything. What a peaceful land it is, I plan to visit Victoria falls one day, my bucket list getting longer!

Lord Kpuri is a talented young man who takes risks and is not afraid of celebrating the black women in all her shape shade and size, he displays the magic that is birthed when black women especially dark women meet with color, bold bright colors!
He is also a writer, he tells the hard tales of what we all love to hate, LOVE!

The best country in the whole world, says who? Everybody! If you haven’t been you need to make plans and see for yourself why! As for me, it is the best

Power to your beauty and pride tribe!
What a time to be alive, when the children of the soil tell their own stories for the people, and no longer will the hunter tell the story of the lion!
That is why I love a whole lot of African girls and boys especially the top 5, for the tireless work of not only telling our stories but also keeping our cultures alive!
Thank you, cool kid of the soil.
