Description
In this video, we break down the massive shifts happening in the creator economy and what they mean for African and Diaspora entrepreneurs.
We look at two major case studies that are changing the game:
Steven Bartlett (Diary of a CEO) reaching a staggering $425 million valuation for his creator ecosystem, Steven.com.
Charlamagne Tha God securing a reported $200 million deal with iHeartMedia and expanding into video with Netflix.
These aren't just paychecks—they are moves toward Media Infrastructure. We discuss why African creators need to stop striving to just be "talent" and start building the networks, agencies, and platforms that own the culture.
