The Real Shama Melody is a Nigerian Highlife and Bongo musician from Imo State in southeastern Nigeria, known for a sound deeply connected to the musical traditions and cultural identity of the Owerri and Igbo communities.

His music draws from Owerri Bongo, a distinctive indigenous musical tradition from southeastern Nigeria, blending traditional influences with Highlife and contemporary sounds. His work often carries themes of community, identity, life, relationships and the everyday experiences of people, while maintaining a strong connection to the cultural heritage of the region.

Across Africa, many children with autism and other learning differences spend years in structured school environments, only to step into adulthood with very little guidance or opportunity. Employment, independence, social life - these are often left to families to figure out on their own.

We spoke to Kelly Eyre, Quality and Pedagogy Lead at Dibber International South Africa and Lindiwe Ndlovu, Mother to three boys on the Autism spectrum.
