"Portrait of a Mbororo Man"
One of the most interesting things about my trip to Cameroon was the "Gerewol". The difference u see in every country is just amazing. Maybe the Mbororo are
the most intimidating because of the combination of the scarification with their attires.

Fat Bodi tribesman, Kael, Omo Valley
In the Bodi Tribe (Ethiopia), the men with the biggest
belly are most desired. The greater the abdominal
volume, the more attractive they will be. But the
preparation for the contest where the fattest is chosen
is rather gruesome.
They drink fresh cow blood and fresh cow milk for 3-6
months in a bid to quickly become fat and be crowned
the fattest man. During the Kael ceremony, the winner
of the contest is measured and receives great fame by
the tribe.
Women and girls bring them milk every morning in their
quest for big gut glory.
The only prize for the winner is fame and the adulation
of his fellow tribesmen.

The attitudes of many people in the world is greatly influenced by the media. How Africa, Africans and African Immigrants are portrayed in these mediums often stereotypes and reinforces perceptions of aid, disease and war.
When Belle Niba first came to the United States as a teenager, she struggled with the story that was being told about where she was from. Africa was always this dark place with endless wars, disease, poverty and strife. Her country of origin, Cameroon didn’t stray too far from the stereotype but the mainstream narrative was one sided and omitted stories of resilience, hard work, determination and success. The stories of ordinary Africans doing extraordinary things.
That’s when she decided to take matters into her own hands and fill the void. She created African Vibes, a general interest lifestyle publication, to counter the negative stereotypes about Africa and Africans perpetrated by mainstream media.
The publication reaches across the borders of national origin to engage bi-cultural individuals who have a desire to stay connected to Africa through stories that are hopeful, inspiring, educational and motivating.
The internet has opened up an information superhighway where information is can be shared more liberally across the globe. Despite all that, stories of Africa in mainstream media have not strayed too far from old patterns. If it’s about fashion then Safaris are the theme; if it is about today’s Africa then desperation, war, disease and poverty are the highlights. African Vibes does its part to add more color and perspective to the the beautiful fabric of Africa’s story so its diversity can be more fully expressed.
There are so many stories to tell and so much more to discover. With every story we are reminded of how much light and beauty rests in a continent that was once coined ‘the dark continent’.
