  • “These Girls’ Fashion is Sick!”: An African City and the Geography of Sartorial Worldliness

As an urban feminist geographer with a research interest in African cities, I was initially pleased when the web series, An African City, debuted in 2014. The series was released on YouTube and also available online at www. anafricancity.tv. Within the first few weeks of its release, An African City had over one million views. Created by Nicole Amarteifio, a Ghanaian who grew up in London and the United States, An African City is offered as the African answer to Sex and the City, and as a counter-narrative to popular depictions of African women as poor, unfashionable, unsuccessful and uneducated. Mimi Vs The Big Bad City

She learns "The Rules of the Sidewalk." She discovers that the scary bus driver has a sticker of a cat on his dashboard. She realizes that the "monster" in the alley is just a friendly shopkeeper sweeping the pavement.

Being surrounded by millions of people yet feeling completely alone.

"Mimi Vs The Big Bad City" is a story that never truly ends. Even long-term residents are constantly challenged by the ever-changing landscape of urban life. However, by embracing the chaos, fostering connections, and finding her own pace, Mimi learns that the city isn't inherently "bad"—it's simply immense, offering unparalleled opportunities for growth, excitement, and self-discovery.

From broken escalators that resemble staircases to hell, to the soul-crushing realization that the “short line” at the coffee shop is actually a serpentine vortex of time dilation, Mimi faces it all. But here is the twist:

The point isn’t to be as chaotic as Mimi. The point is to allow yourself a little chaos . The Big Bad City wants you docile, compliant, and predictable. Push back. Just a little. It helps.

For the residents of Mimi, the Big Bad City represented a threat, a harbinger of change that could potentially disrupt their quiet lives. There was Emily, the owner of the local bakery, who feared that the city's influence would bring about a homogenization of culture, erasing the unique traditions and customs that made Mimi special. Then there was Jake, a young farmer, who worried that the city's encroachment would lead to the destruction of the land he loved, the land that had been in his family for generations.
