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

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.
To your first question, I believe they somewhat already have. If you look purely at the numbers, I believe they already lead the world in newly published AI research or are quite close to that. In my opinion, its because the K-12 education system is much more tech focused there, and until the US competes at that level of education as well (which seems somewhat unlikely, considering the state of public education in the US government), we will surely be not just outpaced, but completely dominated in the next few decades. Also at the doctoral level at many Ivy+ schools, almost half of PhDs in tech come from international students, so you can draw whatever conclusions you'd like from that.To your second question, none of them. They will likely purchase another company doing such h things. One thing that we have to realize is that cutting-edge B2C AI generally doesn't usually make money in short term timelines. Companies that do often end up being unicorns or acquired by one. If you were to take a look at how FAANG companies make the majority of their money, I would bet a lot of money that its not the jaw dropping consumer AI systems. From the B2B sense, however, probably Amazon, as they dominate the B2B computing market already.The third question: hard work rarely yields personal financial success. This may be a jaded opinion, but the majority of wealth made in the US isn't made by the hard work of the person who benefits. The most profound book that I've read in the past year is a book of poetry, called the sun and her flowers, by Rupi Kaur. For me, poetry helps me find solace and meaning, and speaks when I cannot come up with words myself. Lastly, the startup that excites me the most is the one I'm working on in secret.

I think the first question should be: does this problem actually need ML?
Chinasa T. Okolo
Managing Director & Computer Science PhD Student @ The Diasporic Group & Cornell University
I think that often times people assume that one's identity as a black women is by default interwoven into one's academic experiences, and while that may true, I never believed that the marginalization I face based on my identity meant that there was something I could not achieve. Quite frankly, someones racism or sexism towards me is their own problem, and over time I've become immune to it. Additionally I believe the glass ceiling is a metaphor people put on us that inadvertently gives some people imposter syndrome.
To me, there are no glass ceilings. I know that if I'm able to build technology solve problems for many people, and advocate for myself while doing it, I'll be able to have whatever impact I want on the world and gain recognition for doing it. Obviously I've faced misogynior in academia, and you'd be hard pressed to find any black woman at an institution with billions of dollars at their disposal to to have been shielded from that. But numbers can't be denied, and when you walk into interviews, proposals or pitches with compelling data, concise arguments and confidence, it's often hard to be ignored. That being said, we have to acknowledge that there are very few people in general in this field.
Our lack of representation as black women doesn't mean that we aren't capable, just that we haven't been shown what we can do. Consequently I believe that helping others see their potential is the greatest way I can share and create value with my knowledge, whether that be through building human-centric technology that focuses on bringing value to a user personally, or inspiring others to see their own skill solve important problems themselves.

First I will say that I don't have an extensive background on agriculture. However in the short tern and from a resource consumption perspective, the monitoring capabilities that unmanned vehicles possess can allow for the collection of consumption data that can be later optimized to reduce resource wastage of water, fertilizer, electricity, and other important resources. Building capabilities that analyze the environment could additionally help prevent damage to that environment, such as groundwater pollution and other problematic situations. From the food insecurity perspective, Indoor, vertical farming could also potentially optimized and improved through the incorporation of UAVs to provide fresh produce to areas with food insecurity. Such a system, however, would need to be evaluated by agriculture scientists in terms of the environmental impact of the system itself, what resources would be needed to maintain it, and the potential for contamination of food through in close proximity to the system.I think that this application could have a huge impact, but needs to be thought about carefully from not just the financial benefit and food safety perspective, but also from an ethical perspective that includes all affected parties and environments.

Gently wash your face at least twice a day
Moisturize after washing your face / bathing
Use warm water ( this is to help open your pores so your skin can absorb the moisturizer quickly and have a good effect,.
Use moisturizing soap
Use a humidifier
Choose fabrics that are soft and gentle to your skin and pat gently on your skin after bathing

With a straight up answer! There is nothing happening under the sun for the first time. It is a blessing to have someone who can truthfully hold your hand up your search for success. It is a blessing to have someone you can ask for help to organise the puzzles of life. Lastly don't forget to have wisdom along the way. When they speak once, hear 3000times deeper

It's human nature to possess both strengths and weaknesses. Now if you're hiring, capitalism on the strengths with regards that position and look for ways to mitigate the weaknesses. My formula is "Understand human nature, capitalize on strengths and derive strategies to mitigate weaknesses". I hope I answered you correctly?

Hello Emmanuella, It's the same strategy really. It may even be slightly easier for a person depending what their personality is. Think Obama, he already has such a great personality and charisma that it would've been easy to build on that and amplify this brand we see today. Regards,
