Akuna Group

In times of crisis, true leadership is reflected not just in how we rise, but in how we uplift others along the way. After Hurricane Melissa, the world’s response to Jamaica has been a powerful reminder of that truth. The love and support pouring in didn’t come from nowhere, it’s the return of the energy Jamaica has shared with the world for decades. When we inspire, empower, and show kindness, we’re building quiet bridges that often reveal themselves when we need them most. So lead with empathy. Act with integrity. Because you never know who’s watching, or how your actions today might open doors tomorrow. 💚💛🖤 #Leadership #OneLove #JamaicaStrong #EmpathyInAction #ElevatedLiving #TheGrowthCompanion #ResilientTogether #TalkingDrums

The Next Global Blockbuster Stories Start Here and with Akuna Group   Last Friday, we joined forces with the Kenya Film Commission and GIZ to launch a new chapter in African storytelling: a screenwriters’ residency designed to unlock bold, local narratives with global potential. 10 writers. 4 weeks. 5 projects funded. One mission to turn the world’s attention toward authentic African stories. At Akuna, we believe storytelling isn’t just entertainment it’s infrastructure. And this residency is just the beginning.   Together, we’re building a new creative ecosystem: where writers become world-builders, stories travel beyond borders, and Africa’s imagination takes center stage.   📍 Kofisi 9, Westlands | 24th October 2025  🤝 In collaboration with: Kenya Film Commission, GIZ Kenya Film Commission Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH Charity Torut Myke Mwai Mona Ombogo Afua Amoah Mariam Kaleem A-Buahin Katra Sambili Itumeleng Gideon Khobane Peter Kawa Timothy Owase KOFISI Africa - Centres of Productivity   #Akuna #AkunaCreates #CreativeEconomy #FilmEmpowerment #StorytellingAfrica #ScreenwritersResidency #AfricaOnScreen #AkunaPod

In my recent interview with Maxwell Tani and SEMAFOR ‘The Next 3 Billion’, I spoke about the work of the Elba Hope Foundation particularly the Hope Power Project, which shows how radical collaboration can transform lives. By partnering our respective resources across sectors and engaging directly with communities, we are building clean energy, connectivity, and water systems that create opportunity from the ground up.
