In order to understand our history, we must have access to it. Lymari Media was created by Chicago Bears star Christian Jones and his wife, Liz, to bring more people into the rich history of Africa through various storytelling avenues.

The NFL superstar and his longtime wife enjoy African history but have often struggled with finding dynamic content that can both capture their imagination and be deeply rooted in truth. To fill this need, the power couple launched Lymari Media, which will bring untold stories of historical African characters, societies, and culture to life through platforms that range from comic books to documentaries to animations and short films.

“African history is everyone’s history – you find its impact and influence woven in various cultures across the world,” said Lymari Media co-founder Liz Jones in an official new release shared with AfroTech. “Our content is created with a purpose of gaining knowledge and understanding, which are key to transforming lives and building stronger connections to one another across continents.”

The way in which the world consumes media is ever-evolving, so the Joneses believe that there is a huge opportunity for them to lead the charge on sharing authentic, history-driven African stories through their multimedia company.

AfroTech caught up with both Christian Jones and Liz Jones via email to discuss the importance of their media company, the vision behind their first project, and using technology to advance the culture.
