Super Sema

                              

A new Youtube series brings a new series about an African super girl. The protagonist will be voiced by Oscar-winner  Lupita Nyong’o. The show is produced by the award-winning, all-female team of Nairobi-based children’s entertainment startup Kukua. "Fueled by STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math), and set in an African-futuristic world, Sema, along with her brother MB, uses her “technovating” powers to save her village from the villainous Tobor and his army of mischievous Bongalala robots. A heartless artificially intelligent ruler, Tobor meets his match in Sema, who knows that with determination, creativity and a helping hand from the amazing worlds of science and technology, anything is possible." This series is apart of the effort from Youtube to create more diverse content from its 100 million dollar pledge towards making this content. I look forward to seeing where the show goes from here.
