What's inside
Every issue of GetMeLit is built around the same four sections — so you always know what you're getting, but never know what you'll find.
One long-form cultural essay or commentary — the thing you'll send to a friend. Art, identity, ambition, the modern African experience. Written to make you think, not just scroll.
A curated five-pick of what to read, watch, listen to, or visit before the next issue. Books, films, albums, exhibitions — things worth your time.
A sound dispatch. New releases, overlooked gems, playlists, and the occasional hot take on what's happening in African and diasporan music right now.
What's happening this week and next across Lagos, Accra, London, and New York — openings, screenings, readings, dinners. The events worth leaving the house for.
We don't just tell you what's happening; we explore why it matters — blending deep cultural appreciation with sharp, relatable commentary on the modern African experience.— The editorial mission of GetMeLit
A curated haven for the culturally curious.
Built for thinkers, creators, and anyone obsessed with the art, literature, and quiet revolutions shaping our world today.

More dispatches, coming soon
GetMeLit is our flagship. But we're building a family of newsletters for different appetites — each one as considered as the last.
Culture Narratives Digest
A companion to our quarterly essay publication — featuring one excerpt, one behind-the-scenes note from the editor, and a reading list that extends each issue's themes.
The Vendor Letter
A newsletter for makers, artisans and small-batch creators in the Moveee Lifestyle ecosystem — covering sourcing, craft, pricing, and the business of culture-led commerce.
Origins Field Notes
Dispatches from our resident editors on the ground — the cities, the food, the things you can't Google. Sent before and during each Origins journey season.
