Un Peace Ambassador And Award-winning Author Bolaji Ajayi Completes European Book Tour

SAN FRANCISCO - Aug. 2, 2026 - PRLog -- OAKLAND/LOS ANGELES, CA — Denise Mobolaji Ajayi Williams, known globally as Bolaji Ajayi — UN Peace Ambassador, entrepreneur, and creator of the landmark Akiti the Hunter children's book series  has successfully completed a landmark European promotional book tour, bringing the first African superhero franchise in U.S. children's literature to audiences in Berlin, Germany and Amsterdam, Netherlands. Following this international success, Williams has announced an upcoming tour to Tokyo, Japan, further cementing Akiti the Hunter as a truly global franchise.

A Historic European Tour: From Berlin to Amsterdam

Williams' European tour marked a significant milestone in the global expansion of the Akiti the Hunter series, which has championed African heritage and representation in children's literature since 2014. The tour included appearances at prominent bookstores in Berlin, Germany, and a celebrated visit to the Oba National Library Chain in Amsterdam, Netherlands — one of the country's leading national library institutions. The reception across both countries was enthusiastic, with readers, educators, and cultural leaders embracing the Yoruba folklore-inspired series as both a literary treasure and a powerful tool for cultural education.

"This European tour confirmed what I have always believed that Akiti's story transcends borders," said Williams. "Children in Berlin and Amsterdam connected deeply with a warrior hero rooted in African tradition, proving that authentic cultural representation resonates everywhere. This is just the beginning."

Building on the momentum of her European success, Williams will embark on an upcoming tour to more countries — targeting the world's premier markets for animation, children's media, and storytelling. She looks forward to learning more about new cultures and traditions to further inspire the evolution of beloved animated franchise Akiti the Hunter, which already has professionally produced animation reels which has gained millions of views produced by BAPS Animation & Publishing Studios.
