Ya Ma’Afrika is a fictional drama show that fuses the lives of 4 African women living in Brooklyn, New York and highlights the cultural experiences, contradictions and challenges of Africans living in the West. In the show, Yetunde (Nigeria), Kui (Kenya), Chipo (Zimbabwe) and Welisane (Cameroon) are housemates from all corners of Africa with different backgrounds. The women confront issues ranging from relationships to employment and immigration. The show is glamorous with a level of sophistication and at the same time it is raw, touching on real issues. The show captures the cosmopolitan side of Africans, rarely shown on TV.

I'd like to see this (and other new content) on the Africa Channel, that we pay premium for; not that I don't love Generations and Isidingo.

is this show slated to be picked up by any channels? web episodes maybe?
This is great and is precisely what my blog focuses on. I see you used the term "cosmopolitan". Another term that is being used is "Afropolitan" which, to me, encompasses black people who have more than one geographic claim or who live outside the confining notions of what it means to be "black" or "African"
