About Us
Obaba Museum is a hub for exploring and celebrating African history, culture, and heritage. We bring the past to life through curated stories, artifacts, and engaging content that inspire curiosity and learning. We also offer publishing and writing services, helping individuals and organizations craft their stories, share their knowledge, and amplify their voices.
Our Vision
To see more young people play crucial roles in leadership, education, and awareness, regardless of social status or position. We believe everyone has a compelling story to tell, and that storytelling can be a form of empowerment, awakening, and social change.
Our Mission
To make history and culture relatable again, by showing how they live in what we wear, how we speak, what we celebrate, and the choices we make every day. Through thoughtful writing, we aim to inspire awareness, creativity, and a sense of purpose among young storytellers.
