Olumide Balogun, Interim Country Lead at Google Nigeria, shed light on YouTube’s commitment to support and promote the Nollywood industry through the promotion of movies, actors, producers, and other industry members. He outlined a two-month-long program designed to spur the growth of Nollywood on YouTube.

Acclaimed actors, talented producers, and influential film community members enlivened the event, contributing to the celebratory ambiance. The event showcased the dynamic culture and creativity of Africa, emphasizing the significant role that Nollywood plays in shaping global perceptions and narratives.

In a world full of diverse stories, YouTube has remained committed to supporting black creatives across the globe, recognizing their invaluable contributions to the platform and beyond. This commitment is exemplified by initiatives such as the #YouTubeBlack Voices Fund, a global fund aimed at amplifying Black voices and perspectives and facilitating the creation of fresh narratives that educate audiences about racial justice. With a sense of deep gratitude for the creative community, YouTube is devoted to fostering an environment where diverse voices are heard, respected, and empowered.

 

As we look forward to supporting the continued growth of Nollywood on the platform, YouTube humbly anticipates the array of new narratives that will continue to enrich our global community.
