Celebrating and sharing stories of entrepreneurs come in many forms; a photo, drawing or painting of an inspirational figure can tell a thousand stories and transcend a thousand languages. Just like a great entrepreneur takes an idea and turns it into a profitable business, a great artist finds a muse and turns it into something relatable, intriguing, and timeless – Africa No Filter wants to support you to create this work.
