Conversations Platform
LéO Africa Talks
Conversations worth having. Selected speakers from the LéO Africa Institute network share ideas and visions for their lives and for Africa, building on the West African tradition of storytelling and preserving history.
The Platform
Amplifying African Voices
LéO Africa Talks is designed for selected speakers within the LéO Africa Institute network to share ideas and visions of their lives, for Africa, and how they will achieve it through their work and careers.
Built around the West African culture of storytelling and storing of history, we refer to speakers as "Griots"—catalyzing renewed attention on the importance of using narratives to build connection with identity and thriving communities.
Through curated thematic episodes, cross-border perspectives, and both video and podcast formats, LéO Africa Talks creates a platform for meaningful conversations that shape Africa's narrative.
