Pith Africa

Pith Africa founded in 2021 by Adedayo Laketu, Cosmas Ojemen and Nnaemeka Anazodo, began with a goal: to create a brand that resonates with the vibrant spirit of African youth, celebrating creativity and innovation through fashion, narratives and curated experiences that highlight a new age. Founded in Lagos, Nigeria, Pith Africa was born from a desire to reshape global perceptions of African fashion by creating a brand that tells authentic African stories through bold, expressive designs. From the outset, our mission has been clear: to build a brand that doesn’t just create fashion but fosters a cultural dialogue that resonates locally and globally.

At the heart of Pith Africa’s identity is a deep connection to our community. Our brand draws inspiration from the vibrant streets of Lagos—the energy, the pace, the culture. Each collection captures the essence of our home. We see fashion as more than clothing; it’s a canvas for storytelling, a medium to amplify the voices, dreams, and experiences of a new age of Africans.

Sustainability is one of the core pillar of our brand. We are committed to creating fashion that not only looks good but does good. Upcycling plays a pivotal role in our design process, with a particular focus on repurposing discarded materials like denim to craft unique, eco-conscious pieces. Our designs often feature deconstruction, patchwork, and intricate detailing like embroidery and dyeing techniques, which reflect both our craftsmanship and our dedication to environmental responsibility. By embracing these innovative methods, we not only reduce waste but also push the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable fashion.

Collaboration is another essential element of Pith Africa’s ethos. We work closely with local artisans and
craftspeople, incorporating traditional techniques and craftsmanship into our streetwear collections. This
collaboration allows us to create designs that merge the modern and the traditional, reflecting both the soul of Lagos and the evolving global fashion landscape. By supporting and working alongside these artisans, we not only preserve age-old crafts but also contribute to the economic development of local communities.

Each collection is a celebration of diversity, innovation, and community, encapsulating the combined dreams of us all while challenging conventional narratives of African fashion and creativity. Our aim is to position African streetwear/fashion on the global stage, proving that our designs can compete with—and redefine—the standards of global fashion.

As we continue to grow, our commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and collaboration remains
unwavering. Pith Africa is not just a brand; it’s a platform for celebrating African excellence, creativity, and resilience.

Bryan Ibeh

Bryan Ibeh (He/they) is a 22-year-old Nigerian-born and Lagos-based filmmaker and
multidisciplinary creative working mainly as a director, photographer, producer, and editor.

His artistic journey began at an early age, nurtured by his parent, a musician, who instilled
an appreciation for art and creativity. Growing up, Bryan gained early exposure to the entertainment industry through a serendipitous encounter in a toy store, where he met his first agent. This chance meeting led to starring roles in several commercials as a child, sparking a deep love for performance and
visual storytelling.

Bryan’s fascination with music and storytelling soon led him to watch music videos religiously as a child. Hours spent watching iconic videos sparked an obsessive curiosity about the fusion of sound and image. He became captivated by the emotional resonance of music videos, analyzing how every frame, color palette, and narrative thread wove together to evoke powerful emotions.

Currently in his final year at the University of Lagos, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication, Bryan has established himself as a talented filmmaker, photographer, producer, and creative director. His career as a creative began in 2018, experimenting with alternative-style short films, music videos, and images that showcased his unique visual perspective. Bryan’s work is entrenched in the realm of experimental and alternative film, where he explores the intersection of psychedelia, spirituality, identity, social justice, beauty, emotions, and human complexity. His cinematic perspective is characterized by surreal, dreamlike visuals, echoing the vivid daydreams of his childhood.

Through self-directed training and consistent practice, Bryan honed his skills in videography, photography, video editing, and sound design. Using social media as a tool to share his work, his online presence garnered attention and recognition, propelling him into the professional art and media space in Lagos.

Notably, Bryan has built his self-propelled production company and brand, “A Film by Bryan,” a platform that showcases his innovative storytelling and visual artistry. This venture demonstrates his commitment to taking up space as a filmmaker , pushing boundaries and challenging norms in the Nigerian film industry. Aside from his personal creative projects, Bryan’s portfolio includes notable collaborations with Lady Donli, Solis4evr, 808vic, Fave, Bloody Civilian, and others, as well as production credits for Adidas, MAC Cosmetics, DAZED, and SHOWstudio. In 2023, Bryan worked as creative director for Wintar Studios and co-directed experimental fashion films for Lagos-based brand “Shako.” Bryan’s work has been spotlighted by “The Blacker The Berry” zine as one of Nigeria’s standout creatives. He exhibited his experimental films at EXPO Lagos in 2021 and co-directed the experimental short fashion film “We Are Looking For Ourselves In Each Other,” which premiered exclusively on Nataal Media in 2022.

His latest film, “Nowhere is Safe To Be,” a music film for contemporary artist Yinminu, tackles themes of trauma, bullying, and resilience, reflecting Bryan’s commitment to exploring complex social issues through innovative storytelling. Bryan’s artistic vision is deeply inspired by his identity, personal experiences, spiritual journey, culture, friends, nostalgia, the idea of new realities, community, phases of life, and the complexities of the human mind and experience. He seeks to carve out his own visual language and auteuristic perspective, creating immersive experiences that invite others to escape into the fantastical worlds he’s always envisioned.

Ultimately, Bryan seeks to inspire younger artists, particularly those marginalized by their age, sexuality, gender, ethnicity, class, or geographical location, to bet on themselves and their unique creative perspectives. By pushing boundaries, challenging norms, leaning on and giving back to their communities, and embracing their individuality as their most powerful tool, Bryan believes artists can create lasting impacts.Through his own work, he hopes to contribute to the African art and cinema landscape as a whole, but also to the emergence of a new era in Nigerian film and music videos, one that
showcases experimental, alternative, and innovative storytelling, empowering others to do
the same.

Elsie Ahachi

Elsie Ahachi, also known as “Elsie not Elise,” is a dedicated music enthusiast who’s turned her
love for music and storytelling into a full-time passion. Starting out in 2022 with TikTok videos
diving into the music she enjoyed, Elsie quickly built a following of people who resonate with her
eye for talent and knack for finding artists who deserve more shine. Now, through her engaging
content and platform, Elsie spotlights emerging voices, creating a space where artists can share
their work and stories without the usual industry pressures.

What began as sharing the music she loves has evolved into a multifaceted approach that includes artist interviews, documentaries, and storytelling that dives deeper into the creative processes of musicians. She’s also built a thriving community of music lovers across social media, connecting fans and artists over a shared passion for good music. “My goal with my platform is to create a space for artists and creatives to build community, share their stories, and talk about the amazing work they put out into the world on their own terms. The external pressure is already crazy enough—I want them to feel safe.”

Asherkine

Asherkine’s rise from a grassroots content creator to one of Nigeria’s most beloved figures in entertainment is a tale of vision, hustle, and an unmistakable knack for turning ordinary moments into captivating, unforgettable experiences. Originally finding his footing behind the camera, Asherkine first gained widespread attention when he directed the visuals for Asake’s breakout anthem, “Omo Ope”. But while “Omo Ope” thrust him into the spotlight, Asherkine quickly evolved beyond the role of a director, transforming himself into a one-man powerhouse of generosity and social impact.

In the years following his viral success, Asherkine has become something of a phenomenon, often compared to the American YouTube star, Mr Beast, for his seemingly boundless generosity. Like his Western counterpart, Asherkine found his calling in the art of the unexpected — except instead of epic challenges or cash prizes, he’s shown a penchant for surprising everyday Nigerians with acts of kindness. Whether it’s handing out cash to struggling market vendors or supplying students with essentials, Asherkine has redefined what it means to be a creator in Nigeria. His giveaways are not just about social media virality; they’re rooted in a deep-seated belief in uplifting his fellow citizens, bridging the gap between social media stardom and genuine community outreach.

What makes Asherkine so compelling, however, isn’t simply his generosity but the way he’s woven these acts of kindness into his identity as a cultural figure. He’s as much a social activist as he is an entertainer, a status that resonates powerfully in a country where the economic divide can feel especially stark. Every new giveaway or surprise donation feels like a small victory for those who get caught in his lens, and his infectious positivity and humility make each act resonate even deeper. Asherkine’s journey is a reminder of the evolving power of Nigeria’s creative scene — not just to entertain, but to impact lives directly, leaving an indelible mark on the communities that shaped him.
