#TheAfricaTheMediaNeverShowsYou, until now

Images of Africa are flooding Twitter...scenes of beauty, fashion, landscape, architecture and achievement. #TheAfricaTheMediaNeverShows you is an effort by young Africans fed up of the way they say mainstream media sees their continent, constantly in struggle. Instead of desolate and poverty stricken they want the world to know their homes are as diverse as their traditions. The hashtag has been used over one hundred thousand times over the past few weeks and is growing. We'll speak to a head of state, a writer, a filmmaker and an art curator about what they want the world to know about their Africa. Join the conversation at 19:30 GMT.
