About the Afro Sistahs Collective (Source: Website: https://www.afrosistahs.com/)

A group of young Afro Australian women, from diverse backgrounds, decided to meet in Western Sydney and talk about developing and presenting the world as it is for those that live in Australia, while being black.

As a production company we are passionate about presenting a unique blend of Australian culture, identity and youth providing insight into worlds widely experienced, but rarely seen. Steering away from the stereotypical narratives Afro Sistahs captures the diversity of contemporary Australia in full colour.

Our current project, the self titled digital series: Afro Sistahs --is a short-form dramedy series that explores the complex nature in which culture, ambition, love and of course, hair, intersect.

The Team includes:

Safia Amadou, Producer

Hawanatu Bangura, Director

Mumbi Hinga, Producer

Moreblessing Maturure, Story Editor/Writer

Ebube Uba, Digital Marketing Strategist

Rebekah Robertson, Writer
