Kwambox, Crazy Kennar among 10 African creators selected in Meta #CreatorsOfTomorrow

Kenyan comedian Crazy Kennar and media personality Sheila Kwamboka "Kwambox" have been named among 10 African content creators participating in Meta's "Creators of Tomorrow" initiative.

The new campaign celebrates emerging talents from around the world who are inspiring a new movement of creative content online.

Meta will be working closely with the creators over the next year, as they continue to grow their audience and turn their passions into professions across Meta technologies.

The Creators of Tomorrow have built communities online, and are showcasing a best-in-class approach to video formats, technology and interactive entertainment.

The global campaign is the first of its kind, starting in Europe, The Middle East and Africa, and expanding to more countries around the world in the coming months.
