This week at African Talent Discovery(ATD), we’re highlighting a lesser-known aspect of the journey: what happens after the win.
For us, African Talent Discovery isn’t just about identifying people with talent, it’s about creating an environment that says, “You have more. You are seen. And you can go further.”
When our winners enter the ATD Boot Camp, we don’t just put them in a house. We create a space with possibilities. A space where they can speak, be mentored, be challenged, and begin to believe more in who they are and what they’re capable of.
In today’s post, we’re sharing a short video clip from one of those moments, a visit to BeatFM Lagos 99.9, where our winners got to speak publicly about their experience for the very first time. It was more than just a radio interview. It was a moment of realisation. Of visibility. Of voice.
Thanks to the Beat FM Lagos team and especially to Nicole Abebe, who hosted the conversation with enthusiasm and warmth. Thank you for constantly creating space for our young creatives, especially during your peak airtime hours. The continued support gives our talents a platform to shine.
And to our wider community: over the next few posts, we’ll be taking you deeper into the boot camp experience at AYKO Agency (ATD). The wins, the workshops, the mentoring, the real stories. Because at the heart of it all is this: when talent is seen, supported, and believed in, everything changes.
Have you ever had a moment where someone gave you a platform, and it changed the way you saw yourself? Let’s celebrate the people and partnerships that make visibility possible. We’d love to hear from you.
