About Us

Abantu, in the Zulu language, means people or community and that is who we represent; the people, the community, Our Stories and Our Voices. Due to the lack of education on the myriad histories, intricacies and complexities of People of Color we hope to fill the void by providing knowledge, untold and unheard, through our audiobooks platform.

Our mission at Abantu Audio is to bring stories of the oppressed and subjugated to the forefront of social discussion in hopes of building bridges of understanding and awareness amongst all people. Like the tree we cannot survive without our roots, but we cannot strive for the sun if we are unable to shed the burdens of our past.


"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots."
- Marcus Garvey
