Emerging media power house in the United States of America, Afrocentrik TV and Magazine is celebrating African Americans and Black people’s resilience, brilliance, and excellence within the Information Communications Technology ecosystem in America.
The media organisation rolled out the red carpet at the prestigious Afrocentrik Awards for Excellence in Diaspora 2025 for the Thirty Most Influential Tech Leaders of the Year.
The event was a moment of pomp and pageantry at the GSH Event Centre, West Belfort, Houston, Texas, in the United States of America.
Kolawole Akinmuyiwa, vice president, Afrocentrik TV/Magazine, says the organisation is committed to celebrating the enormous contributions of the African community to the United States of America.

It’s, therefore, our duty to share our success story, celebrate our own, and project the narrative of our people from our own perspective. This is primarily why we’re gathered to celebrate excellence of our Diaspora high-fliers, especially within the ICT ecosystem in North America and Texas is particularly,” he asserted.
