The She Word - A new women’s discussion TV programme for Africa
The She Word - a new pan African 成人快手 discussion TV programme - launches today and will explore the life experiences of women in today’s Africa.
For the first time an international broadcaster is offering a pan-African discussion programme targeted specifically at African women
The new show will present stories told in an honest and engaging way. The She Word will ask questions like: what is special about being an African woman? Is an African woman understated? How do we break down gender stereotypes? Can we celebrate the successes of female entrepreneurs in a way that will inspire others?
Nisha Kapur, 成人快手 Commissioning Editor, says: “For the first time an international broadcaster is offering a pan-African discussion programme targeted specifically at African women. Each edition will be hosted by a number of contributors across Africa - key influencers within their community and business. The common thread that links them is their fascinating stories and observations about life which everyone - women and men - can relate to.”
Audiences will see stories told in person, through films or via live broadcasts with one aim - to spark debate and discussion. Discussion will continue via social platforms after the show using #TheSheWord hashtag.
