#NaoleMedia40 lists the 40 women who shine in the world of media and communication in French-speaking Africa.

Posted

Naole Media has compiled its first list of 40 inspiring women who are making their mark in the world of media and communications in French-speaking Africa and the diaspora.

Produced in collaboration with specialists, this first 2021 list is based on several criteria that have enabled us to identify and reveal the driving forces in the communications and media sectors. These criteria are:

  • Achievements (professional experience, accomplishments, social impact),
  • Status (reputation, position, and influence)
  • Potential (inventiveness, vision, and adaptability).

As a reminder, Naole Media specializes in news and issues related to crisis communication, public relations, and agencies in French-speaking Africa. With this list, which is not intended to be a ranking, Naole Media aims to give visibility to these women leaders, models of success, and symbols of resilience on the African continent.

 Each of them contributes through their strategies, reporting, and public statements to promoting the communications and information professions on a global scale and highlighting the expertise of African women."
Elodie Mbida – Co-founder of Naole Media and publishing director.

Journalists, agency directors, media experts, communications directors in private and public organizations, entrepreneurs… Each of them is helping to change the narrative of the continent and the place of African women in society. Many of them have spoken on Adweknow to present their initiatives and reveal their impact:
