We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

"My Africa Is" in the Press

Update #3 · Jun 25, 2012 · comment

Hello wonderful people!

Thanks again for backing our campaign. We still have a long way to go, but great things are happening for us. 

My Africa Is has been receiving quite a bit of press since we launched the Kickstarter, and we wanted to send you the links, which I think provides some more insight into the importance of My Africa Is.

Jackson Mvunganyi of Voice of America interviewed me for Saturday's Nightline Africa show link below (at the 25 minute mark):

Clutch Magazine also picked the story up, so thanks to all the backers who donated from that link, your support means a lot!

Please keep spreading word of this Kickstarter. We have 32 days to raise $75,000, and if we don't meet this goal we lose everything we've raised so far. Please spread the word. We are open to your suggestions as to how we can push this Kickstarter forward!! So please be sure to get in contact with me with any comments or suggestions at Nosarieme@myafricais.com!

Thank you guys again for being awesome!
