The historic general assembly of African actresses took place from 12-16 November 2019 at the FESTILAG Festival international du film des lacs et des lagunes (International Lakes and Lagoons Film Festival) in Côte d'Ivoire. This initiative revives the now defunct L’Association des Actrices Africaines/The Association of African Actresses created in 1989 of which pioneer actress Zalika Souley was elected as the president, in recognition of the role she played in asserting the value of women in the world of African cinema.
Veteran actress, activist and feminist Naky Sy Savane, who helms the festival brought together actresses throughout the continent.
During the festival event tributes were made to the pioneering actresses of African cinema: Hélène Catzaras (Tunisia), Fatoumata Coulibaly (Mali), Anne Kacou Diop (Cote d'Ivoire), Thérèse Mbissine Diop (Senegal), Touria Jabrane (Morocco), Aï Keïta (Burkina Faso), Zalika Souley (Niger), Félicité Wouassi (Cameroon).

Afro Sistahs
Webseries out of Australia
Launched in 2018, the Afro Sistas Collective relates the lives of afrodescendant women in Australia in their journeys towards self discovery.
Description
Short form dramedy series that follows the lives of 4 Afro-Australian women in Western Sydney as they weave their way around hair, bossy Aunties and “woke-baes”
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
