Media entrepreneur, storyteller and host of the viral talk show #WithChude, Chude Jideonwo, is set to join the inaugural Narrativa EAC Summit as a panellist on November 5, 2026, at the Gran Hotel Miramar in Málaga, Spain. Convened by Clara Chizoba Kronborg, Narrativa EAC (Europe–Africa Connect) is a new platform connecting influential voices across Africa and Europe through storytelling, creativity, culture and the creative economy. Jideonwo’s participation reveals the growing recognition of his contribution to African storytelling and his work in building independent media platforms that give African voices greater space and influence.
The intimate, invitation-only summit will bring together a carefully selected group of creatives, storytellers, filmmakers, cultural leaders and entrepreneurs around the theme, “Where Stories Shape the Creative Economy.” The conversation speaks directly to the increasingly important relationship between culture, storytelling and economic opportunity, examining how the stories Africa tells, and how those stories travel across borders, can influence audiences, build cultural value and create new possibilities for the creative industries.
For Jideonwo, the Málaga gathering offers an opportunity to contribute his perspective to a cross-continental conversation about the power of African stories to shape culture, influence perception and drive economic value. At the intersection of media, storytelling and entrepreneurship, his participation places him among a curated network of voices exploring what happens when Africa’s creative energy is connected to new global platforms and opportunities. The inaugural Narrativa EAC Summit is therefore positioned not simply as a gathering of creatives, but as a space for reimagining how stories can become a force for connection, influence and growth between Africa and Europe.
