Adeline Sede to Represent FabAfriq Magazine at CNN’s Global Perspectives On Africa

Africa’s Role in a Changing World” Summit in London:

As Africa continues to redefine its place in the global economy, it becomes increasingly important that its stories are told by those who understand the rhythm of the continent. This November, Adeline Sede Kamga, Founder and CEO of FabAfriq Media Group, joins a select group of global leaders in London for the inaugural CNN Global Perspectives: Africa’s Role in a Changing World summit, an invitation-only event bringing together voices shaping Africa’s next chapter.

For more than 15 years, FabAfriq Media Group has been a bridge between corporate Africa and global visibility, producing narratives that inspire, educate, and connect. Through initiatives such as  FabAfriq magzine, The Corporate Awards Africa and Corporate Women in Leadership (CWIL), the company has helped redefine how African organisations communicate sustainability, inclusion, and innovation.

Adeline’s participation at the CNN summit underscores a powerful truth: Africa’s transformation story must be told with credibility, insight, and authenticity. Her presence offers a chance to elevate African corporate storytelling on a platform that influences international perceptions and policies.

“Our role as communicators is not just to report what’s happening,” Adeline notes, “but to interpret it in a way that empowers people to act, to lead, and to believe in Africa’s potential. Platforms like Global Perspectives give us the opportunity to share what truly drives progress on the continent, our people, our innovation, and our shared values.”

The Global Perspectives series, launched earlier this year by CNN International, brings the network’s editorial expertise to live audiences across the world. The London edition focuses on Africa, exploring how its dynamic youth, creative industries, and growing private sector are reshaping global dynamics.

The summit will open with remarks from Sir Mark Thompson, CNN’s Chairman & CEO, followed by high-level conversations moderated by celebrated journalists including Christiane Amanpour, Richard Quest, Zain Asher, Larry Madowo, and Eleni Giokos.

FabAfriq’s participation goes beyond attendance. The company intends to use insights gained from the summit to inform and educate African audiences through future publications, podcasts, and events. As part of its mission to make corporate communication more people-centered, FabAfriq plans to translate complex global conversations into relatable narratives, helping readers and professionals understand how Africa’s evolving role impacts their industries, careers, and communities.

This aligns seamlessly with the Corporate Women in Leadership (CWIL) movement led by Adeline, which advocates for the visibility of African women in global dialogues. By connecting leadership, wellness, and sustainability, CWIL encourages organisations to embrace inclusive practices that nurture both talent and growth.

“Being in a room with influential leaders discussing Africa’s strategic role isn’t just about presence,” Adeline adds. “It’s about ensuring that Africa’s corporate evolution is documented with depth and authenticity. We are committed to making these insights accessible, credible, and beneficial to our readers.”

The event will feature a diverse lineup of distinguished speakers, including Tony Elumelu, Chairperson of United Bank for Africa; Ralph Mupita, Group President and CEO of MTN Group; Nonkululeko Nyembezi, Chairperson of Standard Bank Group; Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman & CEO of DP World; and Mark Suzman, CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, among others from government, business, and technology sectors.

The Global Perspectives: Africa’s Role in a Changing World summit continues to expand its impressive lineup, with new speakers representing key global and African institutions. These include Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World; Mark Suzman, CEO and Board Member of the Gates Foundation; H.E. Dr. Rania A. Al-Mashat, Egypt’s Minister of International Cooperation; Cristina Duarte, UN Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser on Africa; Professor Lesley Lokko OBE, Founder and Chair of the African Futures Institute; Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, renowned author; and Tsitsi Masiyiwa, Co-founder and Chair of the Higherlife Foundation.

MTN Group, Africa’s largest mobile network operator, has also been announced as a key sponsor of the event, reinforcing the summit’s mission to connect visionary leaders with real opportunities for collaboration.

For FabAfriq Media Group, this evolving agenda represents more than an event, it’s an opportunity to bring credible, well-contextualized insights back to African readers, ensuring that the conversations shaping the continent’s future are understood, analyzed, and made relevant at every professional and community level.

As FabAfriq continues to lead conversations around corporate excellence, responsible leadership, and storytelling for change, Adeline’s presence at the CNN Global Perspectives summit represents not only recognition, but a call to action.
It reaffirms the company’s commitment to bridging Africa’s corporate narratives with the world’s global stage, where credible information fuels growth, inclusion, and inspiration.
