As an urban feminist geographer with a research interest in African cities,
I was initially pleased when the web series, An African City, debuted in
2014. The series was released on YouTube and also available online at www.
anafricancity.tv. Within the first few weeks of its release, An African City had
over one million views. Created by Nicole Amarteifio, a Ghanaian who grew
up in London and the United States, An African City is offered as the African
answer to Sex and the City, and as a counter-narrative to popular depictions
of African women as poor, unfashionable, unsuccessful and uneducated.
