How a London science teacher became a Netflix hitmaker.
From multi-coloured lace front wigs, to the licking of a bald man's head, to catty fights, it is no surprise Netflix's first African reality TV series was a hit with fans.
But the woman who created this world of wealth and glamour for Netflix has not always known that lifestyle herself. Now dubbed an African media mogul, Peace Hyde started off her career in a different field. She used to work for a British children's charity, looking at substance abuse. Hyde decided to move to Ghana, where her parents came from, and pursued a career as an actress, but soon discovered she had no talent for it whatsoever. She cringes at the prospect of having to discuss it, gasping and whispering under her breath: "Let's not do that part."She soon discovered that her true talents lay behind the cameras, and focused her energy on writing and producing content as a journalist for Forbes Africa.
Netflix was the network that was willing to keep the show - then just an idea in Hyde's head - authentically African and unscripted, she said.But not everyone buys the idea that the series is representative of African celebrity culture. Another of those cast members is multi-award winning Nigerian celebrity stylist, Swanky Jerry. He has known Hyde as a friend and mentor for around seven years.He told her he was on his way to film Young, Famous & African and that it was "confidential", but he wanted her advice. She told him to "kill it" and do his thing.
