Meet the Sub-Saharan Africa Creators Welcomed into the Inaugural Meta AI Creator Circle as 2026 Ambassadors

Meta has introduced the AI Creator Circle, a group of content creators and influencers handpicked to have an insider pass on all things Meta AI.

Twenty Meta AI ambassadors have been selected for Sub-Saharan Africa region from two countries, Nigeria and South Africa. Ten creators across all content niches from each country.

The Meta AI Creator circle members will have direct and early access to new updates from Meta AI, helping them to create and do more with their content. Their role as ambassadors is to share these tips with their communities. 

From Nigeria, the Meta AI ambassadors are: Danielle Dubem, Ezeani Chinaza, Mercy Thaddeus, Victoire Mahounou, Uche Kelvin Ezike, Deborah Ogele, Virtuous Irianele, Shalom Ogo-Ayorinde, Adebola Oludipe and Olayemi Afolabi.

From South Africa, the Meta AI ambassadors are: Lisa Mthembu, PD Jokes, Shawnee Reid, Real Galaletsang, Mimo Mokgosi, Alcidez Banda, Sni Mhlongo, Tsontso Ndlovu, Munaka Muthambi and Lemmuel Kamo Mamotsau.

This comes right after Meta launched the AI Creator Assistant designed to act as a “personalised creative partner” that simplifies the often-complex process of content strategy and performance analysis. It’ll help boost performance on Facebook and Instagram with tailored assistance to each creator’s individual presence on the platform.

“Creating great content is only part of your job as a creator. Between analysing performance, figuring out what to post next, and trying to make sense of your numbers, it can feel like you need a whole team behind you. That’s why we built Creator Assistant: a conversational AI tool in your dashboard that acts as a personalised creative partner, built right into your Facebook workflow. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, creator assistant understands your specific Facebook presence: your audience, your engagement trends, and your top-performing content. You don’t have to copy-paste stats or explain your niche. Just ask what you want to know and get guidance that’s specific to you and your community,” Meta said.

The AI Creator Circle and AI Creator assistant are Meta’s latest efforts in helping creators work smarter and embrace AI in the fast growing industry.
