Each week Maischna Magazine brings you inspiring and compelling profiles of Africans across the continent and around the world. Now, we want to hear from you. Let us know which African you most admire, and why. Your comments could end up on a future profile of Movers & Shakers of Africa.

But the African you admire needn’t be a politician or activist. They could be an artist, author, athlete or musician, who has inspired or moved you in some way.

They needn’t even be famous. How about someone you work with, a neighbor or family member, who is doing what they can to help make their country or community a better place?
