Luke Pepera

Who are we? Where do we come from? What defines us? These are the questions many people of African descent ask and they are at the heart of Luke Pepera’s extraordinary journey through half a million years of African history.

Exploring the vast and diverse cultures of the continent, Pepera uncovers the legacies of powerful figures like Mansa Musa, the world’s richest man, and Kandake Queen Amanirenas, who defied the Roman Empire. He delves into Africa’s deep-rooted traditions, from matriarchal societies to oral storytelling, revealing how they continue to shape identity today. Blending history with personal narrative, Luke shares his deeply personal quest to reconnect with African heritage.

Join us for an enlightening and thought-provoking discussion on the stories that have shaped Africa – and the world.
