Peace Hyde Covers GQ Magazine As The Titan Of Unscripted TV

The February cover of GQ Magazine South Africa profiles Peace Hyde for her remarkable achievements in the African film and entertainment space.

From creating the Forbes Africa TV Platform with its flagship TV Shows, My Worst Day and Against All Odds, the media maven has been at the helm of shaping positive and impactful narratives about Africa for almost a decade, earning her the accolade of the architect of Africa’s Unscripted TV revolution.

With My Worst Day, Hyde pioneered a show which spoke to the continent’s billionaires including Aliko Dangote, Folorunso Alakija, Cosmas Maduka and many more of Africa’s greatest entrepreneurs about their failures in business. The show was an instant hit on the CNBC Africa channel reaching over 60 million homes across sub Saharan Africa.

Her investigative documentary, Inside Nigeria’s Push to End Police Brutality, on global platform Vice News, won four international film festival awards including the Los Angeles Film Festival and the UK Top Shorts Awards.

Her most recent creation, Young, Famous and African has taken the world by storm ranking as the number one show in multiple countries on Netflix with both season 1 and season 2 currently in the top 10 most watched list alongside the explosive season 3 which is currently the biggest show on the African continent. In addition to amassing a global fanbase of millions, the show recently won the prestigious South African Film and Television Awards for Best Structured Reality Soapie in 2024.

In her inspirational interview with GQ Magazine, the global flagship of men’s fashion, Hyde speaks candidly about the future of the African Film and entertainment sector, her illustrious career as an award winning journalist and how she has become a titan of unscripted TV in Africa in the process.
