Introducing Fashion Africa Now's Podcast and Host

Meet Beatrace Angut Oola, founder of Fashion Africa Now and our F.A.N Podcast host. With strong credentials in fashion and the arts, working for some of the world's esteemed fashion brands, our Ugandan-German host is also a speaker, curator, guest lecturer and founder of creative consulting agency, APYA Productions. Beatrace stewards candid and untold stories of talent from Africa and the diaspora, as well as those shaping the sustainable fashion scene. The Fashion Africa Now Podcast ignites interesting conversations with designers, creatives, historians, researchers, fashion players and industry experts on what fashion in African is today, systematically digging into its past and more importantly, shaping its future. The fusion of rich and diverse sub-nations, cultures, ideas and talents from the African continent, and by extension the African diaspora has produced irresistible trend-setting fashion, styles, aesthetics, sounds and a way of life globally. Yet in the shadows of this allure the conflict between slow fashion, sustainability in Africa and fast fashion is a conversation to be encouraged. The podcast is produced by APYA Productions and Social.Urban.Nature with financial support from the Ministry of State of Baden-Wurttemberg via the Baden-Wurttemberg Foundation for Development Cooperation (SEZ).
