Where does the inspiration for the brand come from?
The inspiration and idea of “AfroBeats Unscripted” stem from 2021 as black creatives simply wanted to come together to create a mass media/network space for our people of the African diaspora. We also take some slight inspiration from “The ABS Show” which was powered by MINA TV and aired back in 2018-19, featuring pioneer media personalities/creatives such as Charlie Dior, Glitteratie, Yasmine, and Teemanay. It also highlights social and economic issues within our communities along with black excellence.
What does it mean to be unscripted? (The tea and entertainment, topics, etc.)
The show was given the “unscripted” headline because we will not be scripting any of our takes on the platform upon release. Each of our takes and opinions on each topic/conversation during the episodes will be transparent without any pre-written texts. We would like to create an authentic space for our viewers when it comes to our show and the messages we wish to get across
