The 2022 African Genius Awards, which is to be held in South Africa, is underway. The African Genius Award is an annual event by Priority Performance Projects, South Africa, its main aim is to recognize exceptional Africans that are contributing immensely towards the realization of African determination, dignity and exceptionalism.

“When all is said and done, a genius should have a net positive contribution to society.”- Dr. Sifiso Falala, Founder of The African Genius Awards

It’s important as Africans to tell our story because that will validate our distinct cultural values and diversify our understanding of who we truly are and what we are made of. The African Genius Awards is not only awarding and recognizing these exceptional and hard-working Africans, it’s created to uplift the African spirit in them and make them realize their speciality and uniqueness. As we have been seeing the Europeans, Asians, and Americans pushing effortlessly to undermine the ingenuity of Africans by willingly ignoring talented Africans and geniuses in top global awards, the African Genius Awards came into the scene to solve this problem by recognizing, appreciating and awarding exceptional and inspiring Africans that are contributing towards the growth of Africa.
