If you’re looking for a web series to fall in love with, I of Africa is it. The series was created in 2013 by Nigerian-American model and entrepreneur Aina Fadina. It serves to celebrate individuality, innovation and inspiration through storytelling. Africa sparks so many cultural conversations worldwide, and ‘I of Africa’ showcases some of them.

If you flew on South African Airways last month, you might have even seen some episodes of the show, as it aired on each and every international route.

Fadina is NYC-based and has a background in the fashion business (working with brands such as Oscar De La Renta and even Alexander McQueen) as well as in traveling the world. In the video above, you can see a video of Fadina explaining exactly why she created the series and more behind-the-scenes details. Watch more episodes here.
