Theme: Changed Narrative; What's New?

TEDxJibowu is an exceptional event bringing conversations that will expose, inspire, and enlighten the world to seeing things anew.

The vision is targeted at inciting meaningful discussion, lending our voices to change the African narrative.

Over the years, we have been made to look and feel like a diamond covered in mud, wrapped with the wrapper of shame; TEDx Jibowu is here to change that story. To achieve this vision of a progressive continent, the TEDxJibowu movement is set to influence over 100 million Africans into embracing our uniqueness and making progress.
