WHO WE ARE
54Lights is on a bold mission to broadcast inspiring stories from Africa to the world. Creatively designed, passionately produced and curated for (and from) the community, the show is devoted to showcasing the continent, its people and its allies.
Committed to creatives, 54Lights showcases diaspora in dialogue. It projects an energy that’s authentically told through the lens of thr ordinary extraordinaries among us. These stories will, hopefully, stir the soul and steer the conversation about the dark continent.

HOST INTRO
Kondwani is Ethiopian-born, Canadian-raised and proudly Malawian. He’s a Pan-Africanist, a dreamer and a storyteller whose enthusiasm for his guests is (hopefully) palpable.
By day Kondwani is the Executive Director of Audience Engagement at Canada’s National Arts Centre and by night (and light) Kondwani is the host and exec producer of 54Lights.
He is a work in progress. Informed by life in delightful diaspora, driven by desire to reshape the African narrative and determined to listen, love and learn.
