Presenter Yvette Twagiramariya says:

“This is such a privilege to tell stories targeting the African youth. It is a unique opportunity to tackle issues that are of interests to young people in Africa. I’ve always wanted to paint a positive picture about our beloved motherland. As an African myself, I cannot wait to hear children share their stories that will change the whole world”.
