Following the resounding success of the Women in Entertainment Breakfast at FAME Week Africa 2023, an event brimming with positive energy and inspiration, FAME Week Africa, in collaboration with EarCandy Dubbing, is thrilled to extend a powerful invitation: Join the African Women in Entertainment Collective (AWE Collective)!

The 2023 Women in Entertainment Breakfast, held at FAME Week Africa, brought together an extraordinary assembly of talented women from the music, film, and television sectors. This event served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of experiences, forging connections, and celebrating the achievements of women in the entertainment industry. The highlight of the morning was the presence of esteemed guest speaker, Mo Abudu, recognised by The Hollywood Reporter as the Top International Woman Executive in Entertainment.

Building on the momentum generated at the breakfast, FAME Week Africa and EarCandy Dubbing are thrilled to introduce the AWE Collective—an initiative designed to uplift, empower, and unite women in the entertainment industry.

Women in key creative roles in the African film industry have historically been underrepresented. According to a UNESCO report, women comprised around 20% of key creative roles in African cinema. Women in the African music industry, both as artists and industry professionals, face challenges in achieving parity with their male counterparts. The exact percentage may vary across different regions and genres.
