Minority Africa Fellowship

The Minority Africa Fellowship is a six-month paid program for journalists, filmmakers, writers, photographers, and storytellers from minority groups across Africa. Fellows receive mentorship, training in data and solutions journalism, and a platform to publish multimedia stories; travel and internet stipends are provided and participants will publish about their communities and beyond. The program is conducted virtually, with a focus on minority groups and inclusive reporting.

Monthly allowance, internet stipend, travel coverage, mentorship, and published work opportunities (12 stories by end of the program).

Open to journalists, filmmakers, writers, photographers, and storytellers from minority groups living in Africa; applicants must be able to commit 15–20 hours per week, be able to communicate in English, and have demonstrable work experience in their chosen area.
