Celebrity twin sisters Millicent Mashile and Innocent Sadiki, known together as CentTwinz, have just announced an exciting milestone in their careers. The TV presenter and content creator duo will be taking their voices to the global stage as speakers at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2025. The prestigious festival, celebrating its 72nd edition, will be held from 16–20 June 2025 at The Palais in Cannes, France.
The sisters took to social media to share the big news with their fans, writing,
“This is one of those moments CentFam. We are honoured to announce that we will be speaking at Cannes Lions 2025, sharing the stage with brilliant African creators – @ifys.kitchen, @mpoomy_ledwaba, @dearadetutu @enil_art — in a session titled ‘Cracking the Code with African Creators.’”
With excitement and pride, they added:
“Africa is not the future – Africa is now. With a generation of digital storytellers redefining creativity, culture, and commerce, it’s time the world tuned in. We will be diving deep into how brands can collaborate meaningfully with African creators and tap into the continent’s cultural and creative power. Huge thanks to @woofstudiosafrica for pushing the boundaries and creating this opportunity for our voices to be heard. Cannes, we are coming – and we are bringing the whole continent with us.”

“This isn’t just about content — it’s about culture, creativity, and claiming our place on the global stage. From innovative storytelling to purpose-driven influence, African creators are rewriting the rules and brands around the world are finally paying attention. Thank you to @woofstudiosafrica for leading this movement and unlocking this moment. Let’s show the world what happens when Africa tells its own stories.”
