    Wanuri Kahiu, Adut Akech and Bobi Wine Named to the Time 100 Next List 

    The TIME magazine has named Kenyan filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu, Ugandan politician Bobi Wine and South Sudanese model Adut Akech to its first-ever TIME 100 Next list. 

    TIME 100 Next says “ Wanuri has the vision, wild imagination and depth to deliver—and her films have a knack for casting a spell.”  Wanuri made history as the first from Kenya to premiere a film, Rafiki, at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018.

    Akech, who was born in South Sudan before her family fled to Kenya and later Australia, has also made concerted efforts to make the fashion industry more inclusive. “Among them: calling out racism and amplifying the stories of her fellow refugees.”
