  8. Laduma Ngxokolo (South Africa) – Founder of fashion brand Maxhosa and creative artist

Speaking at the launch, Nunu Ntshingila, Regional Director, Facebook Africa, said, “At Facebook we’re deeply invested in the creative industry in Africa, and nowhere is it more exciting to witness this vibrant creative scene than here on the continent. These people and businesses are changing the way Africa is seen, not just in Africa, but around the world, and are cementing our position as leaders in innovation and the creative industries.”

As part of the Made by Africa, Loved by the World campaign, Facebook will create dedicated Africa Day Facebook profile frames available to Facebook users. These frames will focus on creativity and Instagram including how to creatively engage with your audience through Instagram; Reels school, Interactivity in stories and how to get creative with ads.
