About

Bang Media brings together Bang Podcasts, books by Emelda Mwamanga and the publishing history of Bang! Magazine. Across these formats, women’s experiences, ambitions and achievements remain central to the work.

The story began in 2004, when Emelda founded Bang! Magazine. While studying in South Africa, she had become an avid magazine reader and collector. She saw an opportunity to create a publication in Tanzania that reflected the lives and stories around her.

Bang! went on to feature women overcoming challenges, building careers and businesses, and making a difference in their communities. Today, Bang Media brings that publishing heritage together with books and podcast conversations, giving audiences more ways to engage with the work.

Our Mission is to inspire rather than impose; to expertly advise rather than dictate; to tastefully portray our diverse beauty rather than cheapen it!
