Storytelling has been integral to Africa for many generations. Along with song, rhythm and dance, Africans have been able to relay stories about their rich cultures and heritage since time immemorial. This year, just in time for Africa Month, Boomerang will launch My African Stories – a video series aimed at raising young African kids’ voices by allowing them to share unique, cultural moments of their daily lives with their peers across the continent.
