From Abuja, Nigeria to the kingdom in the skies, Lesotho, this episode of Afrimaxx shows you how young Africans are rewriting the rules.   

From a very special clan in Nigeria that gives young people freedom and takes “skate the norm” very seriously, as The Shinobi Rollerblading Clan manages to get around every obstacle.   

To Vitiligo - and how a young Kenyan is fighting for awareness:
Julie Nasuju is a Kenyan model that is using her vitiligo condition to redefine beauty and inspire confidence through her Royal Patches Foundation.

Securing Lesotho's future with data? In the remote highlands of Lesotho Katiso Joachim Tshoho is using a data-driven strategy, to transform Lesotho's textile heritage. That's a very modern turn on cultural pride.
