AfroQuality introduces Becoming Us, a 15-episode social micro series premiering January 1, 2026.
Filmed entirely inside AfroQuality stores in Accra, Nairobi and Kigali, the series blends African fashion, emotional memory and everyday realities into a grounded narrative that reflects the rhythms and tensions of modern African life.
Rather than creating traditional advertising content, AfroQuality has used its physical spaces as storytelling environments and a place where conversations, identity and quiet moments naturally unfold.
Over recent months, the project has been shared through private screenings, creative sessions and listening events across three cities, including the reveal of the soundtrack Let It Be, featuring Boukuru (Rwanda), Mthandazo Gatya (South Africa) and Qritiqal (Kenya).
Reimagining How African Stories Can Be Told
Becoming Us explores themes often left untouched in commercial storytelling: fractured friendships, ambition, shame, hidden children, soft life debates, silence and reconciliation. By situating these narratives inside real, functioning retail spaces, the series allows clothing, craft and design to become subtle symbols within the story rather than overt branding.
The motivation behind the project is rooted in perspective rather than promotion. “Becoming Us was never shaped as advertising. It grew out of a sense of responsibility and the belief that if we build systems to support African products, we can also hold space for African stories,” the AfroQuality team shared.
The series was intentionally filmed using a minimalist approach with no flown-in cast, no elaborate sets. The aim was to reflect life as it is lived: layered, quiet, complicated and deeply connected to place. The season closes with the line, “Whatever you become — let it be yours,” capturing a sentiment that sits at the heart of African creativity and self-definition.
An Invitation to Media and Cultural Voices
The project has already resonated with filmmakers, fashion creatives, musicians and cultural commentators who see value in brand-supported storytelling that prioritises honesty over spectacle. AfroQuality welcomes media outlets, culture desks and digital storytellers to engage with the series and its themes.
This is not a commercial campaign. It is an invitation to participate in a broader conversation about how African stories are told, where they live and who gets to shape them.
