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
Anita Koske
English Language Teacher/Assistant @ Academie de Versailles
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🌸

Top answers from some of our sessions.
Collaborations are a beautiful way to cut across someone else’s following or clientele. She might want to look into that, Instagram ads also work in getting attention, that will mean she has great content already to draw people in enough to make enquires and pay for her service.We often take word of mouth for granted, its still a very effective way of getting clients and its best when its from a client who has tried your product or paid for your services. Always offer get service so your customers can be your town criers. You can ask they please put in word for you in their circles as well.

Hi Ebechukwu, It was my pleasure. There's a lot that goes to creating brand ambassadors; the obvious place to start being with a good product, seamless experience and impeccable customer service. On the marketing side, here are a few things you can do:- Encouraging user generated content and tapping into your customers creativity, remember to reward them!- Nurture your relationships with your customers and offer value at every point you come in contact with them, you can think of the kind of information you share on SM, or in your e-mail marketing campaigns, etc. P.S. people also like personalised messages- Ask for feedback and take the feedback - make them feel heard and like they are an active and useful part of your brand. - Create an online community

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?

I think it is very important for brands to reflect their target audience. This is the time of being 'WOKE' but it must be done right. Compare Gillette's advert We Believe: The Best Men Can Be and Nike's advert with Colin Kaepernick. Gillette's advert didn't do well because people could into just buy into their message. Brand Managers needs to start considering cause marketing but need to be mindful it may back fires BUT they should always remember there was a motivation for doing it. Brand Managers could definitely use it to engage and connect with their audience. The audience sees the brands on their side, feel emotionally connected and willing to patronise.

The most amazing things about Skill Haven are;
We have created tangible impact in the mushrooming crypto space in Uganda. Some people who have been part of our education programmes and events have picked up crypto/blockchain focused careers like crypto content creators, journalists, writers, Web3 developers, influencers etc
The other most interesting thing about Skill Haven is that we are the only crypto & Blockchain Education focused start up in Uganda.Skill Haven has various programmes and we've reached out to over 500 participants in our education programs through open public events/meetups and personal encounters. I can't point out the most amazing thing but people are making great strides in the crypto & blockchain space and that is our ultimate pride.

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

There is a good chance that you will be able to do this, you will most definitely need to start off with a Master's program then transition to a traditional PhD program. Many programs favor students with relevant degrees (Computer science, electrical/computer engineering, math, etc.) for admission into their programs since they have the necessary background to understand the basics of computer science.

I think these social media tech giants are right because at law; where ever there is a right , there is an obligation. Though there is enormous efforts by stake holders in recent years to protect freedom of expression online and offline every one (digital citizens inclusive) owe each other the obligation not to abuse these rights .
For instance defamation; with the advent and impact of the internet, and particularly social media networks, it is easier than ever to publish content to a very wide audience in no time . Therefore article 17 of the ICCPR provides for the protection against unlawful attacks on a person's honour and reputation as section 19(3) of same ICCPR equally makes reference to the rights and reputation of others as a legitimate ground of limitation of these rights of freedom of expression.
Reputation is the underlying basis in any claim of defamation or libel .
Most countries have domestic legislations with varying consequences relating to acts that constitute defamation and libel .
Other acts that may limit these rights are; breach of Privacy ; Harrasment(cyber bullying) and hate speech.
Not all speech is protected under international law and some form of speeches are required to be prohibited by states. For example; Article 20 of the ICCPR provides as follows;
(1) Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law .
(2) Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to descrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law .
Reference could equally be made to Article 4 of the International Convention on all forms of Racial Discrimination requires that ; the dissemination of ideas based on racial superiority or hatred as well as acts of violence or incitement to such acts against any race or group of persons of another colour or ethnicity must be declared an offence punishable by law .
Hate Speech provisions under international law is distinguished under 3 different categories which is as follows ;
(1) that which must be respected.
(2) that which may be restricted
(2) that which is lawful and subject to protection.
