Speaking at the event, Kwakye highlighted the growing economic impact of African creators,
noting that African content creators currently contribute an estimated $5 billion to the digital economy, with projections expected to reach $30 billion by 2032, according to North
African Post.

She emphasized that creators are no longer a side industry, but a key driver of Africa’s digital and cultural economy.
The conference also featured the Gold Circle Podcast, with live interviews of creative entrepreneurs, including photographers Twinsdntbeg, offering insight into branding, creativity,
and sustainable digital growth.

Raymond Smith, keynote speaker and media executive from Afrimass Media, spoke on the importance of branding, narrative ownership, and media positioning for African creators
seeking global relevance.
The event further highlighted community-driven initiatives such as Gold Roots NGO, which
focuses on empowering creatives and youth through culture, technology, and education.

cultural builders.
