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

Top answers from some of our sessions.
The itching is as a result of the absence of moisture in the skin. I would recommend you use body butter (cocoa butter, mango butter. Shea butter or any body butter of your choice . For moisturizer, it should be a non-greasy moisturizer. I would also advice you see a dermatologist if the body butter does not help with the dryness or stop the itching.

Hi Ebenezer, I think this is a really interesting question because a farmer can take great pictures of his/her products and share it on Instagram. It's all about creativity and how you are able to tell a story. His/Her problem will be less about the platform and the ability to reach his/her customers but more about exposure, he/she should definitely not be #land though because that isn't their product, depending on their products, they can look at more popular hashtags like #greens #healthyeating #organic, etc. I have a cousin who is pretty much a farmer, he also makes juices from his products, but check out his page, they sometimes just post images of the farm and the produce - @simplygreen.farms. I hope this answers your question, if he doesn't feel free to clarify further.

The best advice I’ve received about writing essays was “facts tell, stories sell.” I believe that Professors simply get exhausted reading identical looking applications, so the most important thing you can do is tell a story. Allow people to understand who you are, empathize with you, and want to give you a chance. The implicit bias many people have to support people of their own race is because they add their own personal stories to applications of students with similar backgrounds as them, and to compete with this, it is important to tell your story as truthfully and profoundly as possible. If they understand where you come from and want to give you a chance, bias can more easily be set aside.

Practice everyday. I honestly just started that. A sketch a day.Be open minded and soak yourself in your creative juice. Read. Read and read. Be in tune with what is going on in the fashion industry and the creative industry in general.Technology is gradually becoming a part of our business, see how innovation can make your work easier. Don’t be afraid of technology, embrace it. Basically be present and keep thinking.

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.

I've known I wanted to go to Stanford since I was 11 years old when I read a book that said something like "having a degree from Stanford University is a big deal." From then on I had an almost problematic obsession with doing well in everything so that I would be admitted.Because I knew I wanted to go there, I worked really hard in high school to stand out from my classmates.
I went to a moderately wealthy high school, and competing academically and socially with people that have access to generational wealth takes strategy. I chose to take on 2-3 extracurriculars each year. Freshman year I was the president of the freshman class and captain of the freshman basketball team and played volleyball, Sophomore year I was a chair in the same student government, on varsity basketball and JV volleyball, and participated in the competitive mathematics club. Junior year I cranked up the AP courses, taking essentially everything AP, still playing on Varsity Basketball and Volleyball. Senior year I was captain of the Basketball team along with my other extracurriculars and APs.
There probably were other things, as this was over a decade ago. In terms of academic performance, I was ranked #8 in my class upon graduation with above a 4.8 GPA.Even though I had a strong record, I was still nervous to apply, and so I decided to apply to the Restrictive Early Action round, which means you cannot apply early to any other school, although you are not forced to attend upon acceptance. Luckily I was accepted, and decided to not apply to any other school
While I put myself in a good position to be accepted, nobody else at my school was, including those that had better academic records than me. This could be because of my application essay, in which I told the story of why I have 9 siblings in my family and how that has helped me grow as a person. I think the academic performance and the uniqueness of my story were helpful in standing out from the crowd of perfect transcripts.
