Three Distinct Worlds, Interlinked & Elevetated
As Mariama Wurie Consulting (MWC), I bring over 8 years of experience in tackling the world's most pressing Education Development challenges, bringing rare and often underrepresented stories to global stages, and championing Africa's world-shifting Creative & Cultural Industries (CCIs).
One thread sewing these seemingly separate yet inextricable spaces together, is direct impact on social change for communities and their infinite potential to transform the globe's structural socio-economic barriers. This is where my heart, my networks, and my expertise lie— and I am eager to join forces with YOU, to change the world together.
CRITICALLY & CreatiVELY ConnectiNG
For almost a decade I have worked with government Ministries of Education, the World Bank's Education Practice, the United Nations' education agencies, UNICEF & UNGEI, and global partners for education financing, research, policy, programming, and innovation & EdTech.
As a Solutions Journalist and multimedia producer, I specialize in storytelling that resonates across global audiences, with a focus on human rights, gender equality, business & tech, travel, creative and cultural industries and underreported stories—with bylines and productions for CNN, BBC, Deutsche Welle and more.
As a Filmmaker and Creative Consultant, I produce, curate, collaborate with and champion Africa's up-and-coming Creatives with limited access to resources, and connect us with established artists, resources, partnerships, movements and more.
