about emerge magazine
Emerge Magazine is a local multicultural media outlet dedicated to informing, uplifting and connecting African communities in Geelong, while also engaging broader culturally diverse groups as secondary audiences. Since transitioning from Emerging Brand Africa in 2021, Emerge has focused on producing community-centred content that supports social cohesion, participation, and access to reliable information.
We publish culturally relevant features, policy and government updates, diaspora news, and community-led storytelling that strengthens understanding, belonging and representation for African-heritage audiences. Our platform highlights women’s leadership, youth voices, enterprise, culture and community initiatives—reflecting the aspirations, challenges and contributions of our local communities.
