Feelnubia Returns: Reclaiming Africa’s Narrative, One Story at a Time

Dear Feelnubians,

In 2010, I launched Feelnubia with a bold mission: to give Africa its rightful place in global consciousness. Back then, it was clear to me that Africans must occupy space unashamedly. We must take our place, not as guests in history, but as its original architects. We are not merely part of the story of the world. Africa is its genesis.

Over the years, this digital sanctuary became a trusted reference point. Students, educators, researchers, and enthusiasts of African history read and cited our articles. From lecture halls to living rooms, we told our stories on our terms, and our voices were heard.

Then, as life often demands, we paused. For four years, our vibrant community was placed on hold. A dream tucked away.

But then came 2024.

New hands, renewed hope, and fresh energy revived this sacred space. And so, it brings me immense joy to say these words:

Feelnubia is back!

We are not just relaunching. We are reclaiming our pioneering role as a cultural and heritage clearinghouse. Our mission? To curate and share the global history, creativity, and contributions of Africans and the African diaspora with the next generation, using the digital tools, media, and platforms of today.

Are you a thought-leader, visual artist, storyteller, historian, social commentator, or innovator? If your work celebrates the motherland, you are a part of Africa’s intelligentsia. FeelNubia is your home.

We invite you to join us. Share your voice. Lend your light. Together, we will reshape global perceptions of Africa and reignite the pride of a continent whose children must know they are born of kings and queens.

This is more than a revival. It is a renaissance.

Be bold and unapologetic. Be Africa!

With purpose and pride,
