What happens when a revolutionary lets down his guard? When a former head of state, known for firebrand speeches and political upheaval, pauses mid-interview to joke about his lack of rhythm on the dance floor?
That moment, raw, unscripted, and deeply human, is exactly what filmmaker Lovinsa Kavuma captured in her first interview with H.E. Jerry Rawlings, Ghana’s late former president.
And it’s the heartbeat of her upcoming documentary, African President.

“This is what real vulnerability looks like, even from a revolutionary,” Lovinsa writes.
The film doesn’t just chronicle political milestones. It excavates the personal histories, cultural forces, and defining moments that shaped two of Africa’s most powerful presidents, Rawlings of Ghana and Obasanjo of Nigeria. It asks a provocative question:
What if the crisis isn’t who leads Africa, but who we’re preparing to lead next?
Lovinsa’s lens is intimate, intentional, and urgent. She’s not chasing headlines, she’s chasing humanity. And in doing so, she’s building a platform for African stories that challenge, inspire, and reframe leadership itself.
Why This Matters
- It reclaims narrative sovereignty from Western media filters
- It humanizes leadership beyond policy and power
- It invites the next generation to reflect, question, and rise
As CreatePreneurAfrica, we stand with storytellers like Lovinsa, those who dare to document not just what happened, but who it happened to. Because every president was once a person. And every person carries a story worth telling.
Stay tuned for the launch: AfricanPresident.net
