UNCOVERING

AFRICA’S TRUE HISTORY

Born in Khartoum, North Sudan and raised in the United Kingdom (UK), renowned journalist, Zeinab Badawi, decided it was time Africa’s rich and culturally significant history was narrated by the native inhabitants of the vast continent. Through her BBC video series, The History of Africa, she traversed the continent and interacted with African citizens and savants - in history, archaeology and culture. Their stories revealed a graphic picture of their continent's past and how it has informed and continues to impact their lives today. She talks to Nomad about her journey of discovery.
