The pioneer project of Inspire Africa –Moments with Mo – holds the pride of place of being the first-ever syndicated daily talk show on African regional television. Anchored by Mo, who quickly brought herself up to speed on how to be a talk-show hostess, the show is gradually transforming the flavor, face and-indeed-fashion of African TV. Inspire Africa has done the seemingly impossible by constantly portraying Africans and Africa in a positive light; building, projecting, promoting and reinforcing the new contemporary face of Africa: strong, confident, savvy, independent, bold, intellectual, responsible. This is the new Africa that speaks for itself, identifies and proffers effective solutions for its own problems, celebrates its peoples by showcasing their lives, trials, victories, achievements / successes. It’s all about rebuilding the battered image of the hitherto, so called “dark” continent so that it can shine forth in a new, refreshing and more accurate light.
With over 300 episodes-and still counting-of the show recorded and aired with numerous topics ranging from issues of lifestyle, through health, culture, politics, entertainment, tradition, to music and inter-racial marriages. The roll-call of guests on the show has been truly impressive: from Presidents, to Nobel Laureates, to the US Secretary-of-State, to Celebrities of every nature, to Governors, to regular everyday people, who are doing extra-ordinary and not-so-everyday things! It has also proven to be the perfect medium for addressing some of the issues and challenges of our societies that used to be swept under the carpet.
With an ever growing audience all over the African continent and the world, Moments with Mo now airs on Terrestrial and Cable TV in different parts of the world.
