SHAKA JAMAL REDMOND

Despite facing many challenges, African communities in the Sixth Region have also made significant contributions to art, music, literature, politics, and other fields, and have played important roles in social and political movements for equality and justice.

Shaka Jamal is empowering humanity through film, music and culture. He has lived and worked between his city Oakland and Johannesburg in South Africa for over two decades, always transferring knowledge and growing his appreciation of humanity.

His documentary film I Am Hope is an insightful documentary about a resilient community coming together to create the first yoga and mindfulness class in Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) Middle Schools.

Benefit from our network of founders embarking on social projects to improve lives in Africa.

I am a vivacious social entrepreneur, who is passionate about social equity and contributing towards the sustainable growth of Africa.
 
I am the CEO and Co-Founder of Africa Global Radio, an online radio station and portal based in Ghana. I see Africa Global Radio as the perfect vehicle to unearth the diversity of positive narratives on Global Africa. 
 
I am one of the founders, board member and the Director of the Curriculum Enrichment Programme for the first international school in Northern Ghana – Savannah International Academy. I put together programs in line with our vision to nurture young minds to be the future leaders of Africa.
 
I run a handicraft enterprise, where I bring together underprivileged artisans to produce and supply musical instruments and artefacts to Fair Trade Organisations in Europe.
 
Over the years I have had the opportunity to build a diverse network of relationships that have enriched my life and provided me with a variety of experiences, perspectives and understandings that have been imperative to the vision I have.
 
Our vision for Campaign Africa & Africa Global Radio, and everything I do, is to provide authentic narratives on Global Africa, which will inspire the next generation to be the change we wish to see, and ultimately contribute to transformational change in Africa.

Born on Africa Day in the year-themed “Open Skies for Africa”; I am a social activist within the Sub-Saharan cultural and creative industry.

For two decades I have innately collaborated with counterparts as well as social enterprises that resonate with my Pan-African vision.

In so doing, growing my reach across the continent, prompting me into creating systems and networks for African produce.

I am the founder of The Elevators Creative Concepts [TECC] specializing in research & development, live music & dynamic content production, as well as project management.

Through TECC, I have travelled as part of an intercultural exchange program to help grasp the changing cultural landscape of today’s creative Africa; and continue to develop essential competencies to render an eco-conscious and culturally enriching Africa Tour Circuit.
