58. African Influencers are the New Celebrities, but do we care?

<p>Hey Fam! Welcome Back to THE NEW AFROLIT!</p> <p>This week I was joined by Nana Nambela, to discuss all things INFLUENCER! In the past 5 years, Influencer culture has derived how we consume our media, but of course, I wanted to have a conversation on the rise of the African influencer and if the market REALLY cares about them: especially in the beauty and lifestyle industries....We also spoke on the African influencer in the diaspora vs in the continent.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tell us your thoughts?! Are you an African Influencer? Do celebrities really exist?</p> <p>Join the conversation on social media: use the <a href="https://twitter.com/itsafrolit"><strong>#AfrolitPod</strong></a>.
