Peace Hyde's story is nothing short of extraordinary, blending creativity, resilience, and an unstoppable drive to elevate African voices on the global stage. As the mastermind behind Netflix's first African reality series, Young, Famous and African, Peace has captivated audiences worldwide with the show’s flair and energy. Her role as creator and executive producer has solidified her as a groundbreaking force in media, not just in Africa, but across the world. But Peace is far more than a media maven. With an impressive title as Head of Digital Media and Partnerships at Forbes Africa, and the West African Correspondent for the magazine, she expertly juggles leadership and creativity. She’s the visionary behind two flagship talk shows, Forbes Africa’s My Worst Day and Forbes Woman Africa’s Against the Odds, both of which have brought the stories of billionaires and trailblazers to life, making them accessible and relatable.
Her storytelling prowess extends to the world of hard-hitting documentaries. The Vice News documentary she produced, Inside Nigeria’s Push to End Police Brutality, was not just a story—it was a movement, earning accolades across film festivals from Los Angeles to London.
Beyond her media empire, Peace's heart lies in activism and education. Through her non-profit, Aim Higher Africa, she has empowered over 6,000 grassroots entrepreneurs in Ghana, creating real opportunities for millions of unemployed youth across the continent.
Her relentless pursuit of change earned her a spot in the prestigious World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders community, where she stands as a beacon of inspiration for dynamic leaders who dare to dream big and drive change.
Her impressive accomplishments haven't gone unnoticed. Named by CNN as Ghana’s most successful media figure, Peace’s work has also been featured in major outlets like Glamour, Black Enterprise, and Ebony. And in 2018, her leadership potential was recognized by none other than President Barack Obama, who selected her as one of the 200 inaugural Obama Foundation Africa Leaders from a pool of 30,000 applicants.
From revolutionizing African media to fostering entrepreneurship and advocating for social justice, Peace Hyde is a multifaceted powerhouse making waves wherever she goes, with the vision and passion to uplift an entire continent.
