In this captivating episode of our podcast, join Lilly as she dives into an enthralling conversation with the illustrious Wanuri Kahiu, a visionary force in Kenyan filmmaking and storytelling whose groundbreaking work has not only influenced African cinema but has also captivated audiences worldwide. Today, we discover the vibrant world of AFROBUBBLEGUM, an innovative genre and media company, co-founded by Wanuri, aimed at creating, curating, and commissioning fun, fierce and frivolous African art. Lilly and Wanuri explore the underlying motivations and storytelling ethos behind her cinematic feats, including the delightful Rafiki, the award-winning movie that was the first Kenyan film invited to the Cannes Film Festival, her Netflix blockbuster, Look Both Ways and the upcoming series, Washington Black, which she directed for Hulu/20th Century Fox.
