“It’s not easy going through public humiliation”: Abigail Asante opens up to Timi Sotire in this exclusive interview 💛🙌

Abigail’s solo releases prove that her soul can never be shaken even though this brazenness stems from an unforgiving experience in the industry. “I never faced any colourism in my life until I came into the limelight”, Abigail says.

Our story

For those that influence popular culture.

Reform The Funk is an independent cultural platform created in a bid to reform basic social structures, challenging the status quo by promoting thought-provoking and emotive art. Ours is an outlet to feature the cultural taste-makers today, unveil those fighting against cultural malaise across the planet, and enlighten, through discourse and collaborative efforts. The aim of the space is to provide a narrative that differs to traditional storytelling which often doesn’t represent culture in its true respect.

In typical mainstream media, many taste-makers are forgone, despite having a huge influence and presence in their respective communities, if they are yet to be labelled as popular or trendy. In contrast, this platform's purpose is to provide a genuine insight into inspiring people worldwide, regardless of their prevalence.

Reform The Funk delivers in-depth content which can serve as a cultural reference for ideas and inspiration. A platform for tastemakers – Reform The Funk – for those who influence popular culture.
