Media
My media work spans journalism, essays, podcasts, and film collaborations. I have written in English and German for various publications, and I also contribute as a consultant and speaker to cultural projects in film and television. Across all formats, my goal is to make African history and culture accessible to wider audiences.
Whether you’d like to commission an article, produce a documentary or podcast related to East African arts, culture and history – let’s talk.
