20 most influential Gambians in culture and media
Ask ten Gambians who shapes the culture and you'll get ten different lists. That's the point of this one. Over the coming months the DD+ desk is profiling twenty Gambians — musicians, journalists, entrepreneurs, athletes, organisers, quiet operators — whose work is bending the country's culture and media in a direction worth naming.
Each profile is reported, not scraped. We sit with the person or the people around them, read the receipts, and write it plain. New entries land here as they're published.
The list, so far
Profiles are being commissioned. Follow the Journal — new entries appear here and in the main feed as they publish.
Have someone we should be writing about? Send the name and a paragraph on why to the desk via the pitch link above. We read every one.
