True Talk Africa

Hello. This is to inform you that True Talk Africa has closed down its operations. Thank you for all your support over the years. This page will be deleted at the end of June.

In 711 A.D, a group of North African Muslims led by the Berber general, Tariq ibn-Ziyad, captured the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). Known as al-Andalus, the territory became a prosperous cultural and economic center where education and the arts and sciences flourished.

That is what True Talk Africa was always trying to achieve.

"If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started." - Marcus Mosiah Garvey.

A fun day sharing about African soldiers in WW2. Thank you Utopia Theatre for organising it.

It was so great to lead this session organised by Utopia Theatre on Saturday.
