The 21st-century knight in shining armor is a streamer. Just a few weeks ago, iShowSpeed ended his 28-day tour across 20 nations in Africa. Similar to the aftermath of his stream in China last spring, Speed’s authentic broadcast greatly dispelled ignorant perceptions of each nation's current state and unique cultural practices, with comments all over social media ranging from shockingly-earnest apologies, to sheer awe and admiration. Source? My TikTok feed. While things got a little rocky in Algeria, the majority of the journey was invigorating and entertaining, with Speed partaking in traditional customs such as dancing with the Maasai in Kenya, engaging in local football games, and random one-off challenges, like racing a Cheetah in South Africa. After his trip to Ghana, the country’s foreign minister publicly deemed Speed a “worthy ambassador” and is now processing his passport for Ghanaian citizenship #LikeABoss. This man is a beam of light, a true influencer, singlehandedly reshaping the public’s dampened perceptions of the world with good vibes and realness.
