Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations

My best friend introduced me to TwoCents, and I remember chatting with Tobi and think how brilliant the platform is!
More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

Hello Pemi, Video is the present and future of content marketing, and people generally gravitate towards video, so it is a really effective way to reach your audience, but you mustn't ignore other content formats that may be more useful in getting a particular message across. Yes, email is still very efficient and has a very high Return On Investment (ROI). Some of the most common mistakes are not understanding your audience, not giving your strategies/plans enough time to give the desired results, not evolving and being so afraid of failing you take no chances.

African youth start from a difficult position in belonging to culture that venerate age, i.e. patrimonialism. African women are also in a similar quandary because of patriarchy: the man is the head of the household. So, while both the youth and the women are majority population categories in relation to the respective groups standing against them, they cannot muster the numbers to exploit their respective potential.
On peace building, the way to go about identifying the role of the youth is to ask what the causes are of the lack of peace. Who/what is creating unrest and war, and why? The AU had committed to silencing the guns by 2020; so the question to ask is: what was driving the guns? What had been strategised for their silencing? What was actually done to silence them? And what was achieved? That would be a suitable stating point for an assessment of the youth's potential...
But unfortunately, the youth have likely lost an idealism for change, and are captive of standards set by the older generation. The East African Institute's 2016 Kenyan Youth Survey Report found that more than half the respondents saw nothing wrong with evading taxes or taking bribes, as long as one is not caught. Making money "by hook or crook" was acceptable to 47%, and 40% would vote for a politician who paid for their vote!
While that is not the standard picture of the African youth, it screams that we should not treat the African youth like some undifferentiated whole: after all, even fueling conflict is a money-making enterprise the youth might just want a stake in!!!

Hi Joy, The best way to answer this type of question is to say something that would not impact the organization’s effectiveness in any way. Also after stating your weakness, talk about what you are already doing to translating this weakness to strength.

For oily skin you should look for a combination sunscreen/moisturizer. Neutregena, olay , elf and some other brands have that

Great reaction!!! Trust me when I say we live in a man's world where for some reason even at the top echelon, woman are scrutinized. I've personally decided to be at my best and in most cases ignore the unnecessary pressures that come with being a woman.
Developing a thick skin too helps in the sense that you don't take everything personally and remain authentic. Lastly, endeavour not to be a people pleasure because women are expected to always be fine with the rubbish that is thrown at them. I maintain my standards and work at being better and I break the rules for a living.
I don't know if this answers your question?

Interesting questions Cyrus...On the first question, I think it’s largely about perception and it varies from one Organization to the other. An example is HR is responsible for hiring and firing, but the truth is we only support the process to ensure fairness and consistency, the decision maker is mostly the Line Manager or the Functional Head.On the second question, for permanent recruitment, I will rather go for culture fit and train the individual, but if it’s a short term fix, then I will go for the highly skilled.On the last question, my advice is to always go above the legal requirements as much as you can...but it’s good that we have a compensation act in place, which at least serves as a minimum requirement especially in extreme cases like accident and death. However, it needs to be reviewed at intervals to align with current realities.The legislation I struggle with is ITF and I think it should be restructured
