“AfriPOP! is… a labor of love; a celebration of our innovativeness, our funkiness, our style, our possibilities as children of Africa.”

– Yolanda Sangweni on her Magazine AfriPOP

Yolanda Sangweni is a woman on a mission to make people of color embrace their skin, style, music, and unique voice through her own ‘love letter’ to African culture as Editor-In-Chief of AfriPOP! AfriPOP is the web magazine for the African global citizen that spreads their influence, talent, and more around the world to be glorified. The web magazine provides the latest trends in African culture through fashion, film, music and more!
