GQ Profiles Peace Hyde for Revolutionizing African Unscripted TV
Peace Hyde
Written By : Priscilla Boakye


Peace Hyde, a prominent figure in African media, has been recognized by GQ South Africa for her pioneering work in unscripted television. Over the past decade, Hyde has been instrumental in changing the landscape of African storytelling by creating platforms that showcase the continent's diverse narratives and personalities.


She first made her mark with Forbes Africa’s TV platform, where she produced and hosted shows like MY WORST DAY and AGAINST ALL ODDS. These series provided intimate insights into the lives of Africa's top business leaders, offering viewers both inspiration and education through storytelling that resonates with the entrepreneurial spirit of the continent.


Hyde's influence has transcended business journalism into broader societal issues. Her documentary Inside Nigeria’s Push to End Police Brutality, which aired on Vice News, tackled the significant social issue of police brutality in Nigeria, earning her several international accolades for its impactful journalism and storytelling.


One of her most notable achievements is the Netflix series YOUNG FAMOUS AND AFRICAN. This reality show has not only been a commercial success but has also redefined the genre by presenting a fresh, aspirational view of African life, focusing on the continent's burgeoning entertainment industry. While the series has faced some critique for its portrayal of luxury and drama, it undeniably challenges traditional narratives, aiming to spotlight Africa's modern, dynamic culture.


The GQ profile celebrates Hyde's dedication to authenticity in storytelling, her role in reshaping how Africa is perceived globally, and her ongoing efforts to foster a new generation of African media that inspires and entertains on a worldwide stage. Hyde's work continues to serve as a beacon for how media can be a tool for change, celebration, and education in Africa.
