Rewriting Africa’s Story, One Voice at a Time
SEDD Africa is a youth-focused sustainability company empowering young Africans to reclaim, reshape, and celebrate their narratives through storytelling, culture, and education. We believe Africa’s future is shaped by the stories its young people tell today.
A platform for storytelling, identity, and cultural memory.
We collect, publish, digitise, distribute, advocate, and empower.
Stories build confidence, dignity, and a future shaped by Africans.

“Flipping the Script” means challenging harmful, incomplete, or external narratives about Africa by centring African voices, lived experiences, languages, and cultural memory.
We focus on stories rooted in African culture, history, values, imagination, and everyday lived experiences—told in ways that affirm dignity, identity, and creativity.
Young Africans, particularly students and emerging storytellers between the ages of 12 and 25, are encouraged to participate.
Story submissions can be made through the submission forms available on our website during open calls for entries.
Submitted stories are reviewed and judged. Selected works may be published, printed, digitised, or adapted into formats such as e-books, animations, or learning resources.
Stories are distributed freely in schools, shared digitally, and used in educational, cultural, and advocacy spaces across Africa and beyond.
