Esther Omemu

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🌸

Hello Rhoda, Be intentional about your online presence by doing your own research and learning and using that to grow your personal brand, if that's the way you want to go, or other brands. I think also try to attend trainings, seminars, etc and meet other people in the space. Wild Fusions and Anakle are the top digital agencies for me, but there are a bunch of others out there

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 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.

I'm not sure I understand your question but I'm just going to go ahead and answer what I can interpret.
First off, all big things start small. It's all about intentionality,
If you're building a company, it has to have products or services that solve a problem.
Beyond that, you have to find a way to monetize it. There are different monetization strategies available depending on what you're building.
To get people to buy it you have to market/sell it. Alongside this, you need to hire good people and build the right systems that ensure they're able to do their best work.
Depending on the type of company you're building, you'll face a couple of challenges like regulatory pushback, infrastructural limitations and keeping the lights on.
Generally, constant experimentation along the way and focus are valuable traits to have.

We ask scenario questions and also probe further to get evidence, so we are able to make informed recruitment decisions.For example, rather than asking if you work well in teams, we can ask you to tell us about a time you worked in a team, what the objective of the team was, your role in the team, what obstacles you faced, what would you have done differently etc.Another option especially for fresh graduates is to group candidates and give them case study to discuss. We will monitor how they interact, the quality of their outcomes, etc to evaluate some of the competencies we are looking for.To improve, read about an organization before attending the interview. Prepare well, rehearse to improve your presentation skill, etc
Dolapo Onasanya
HR Manager @ Pernod Ricard Western Africa
I’ve worked on many projects, including clustering error detection for hotels and travel, robotic based touch device testing, visual tracking apps for virtual reality, firmware for automatic glucose testing, mobile vision research, and a variety of deep learning tasks. Personally, the projects that I enjoy the most are those that actually provide value beyond financial benefit for companies, so I didn’t particularly enjoy any of my internships, which was a large motivation in pursuing a PhD.
Ifueko Igbinedion

Hmmm, I think most people have been in contact with tech already, they just might not think much about it. Most people in these academic institutions have smartphones and access to the internet. That's a valuable tool at their disposal.
While some of them are taking advantage of this opportunity like Emmanuel Njoku [https://techcabal.com/2022/02/24/meet-the-19-year-old-nigerian-building-his-own-blockchain-empire/], others aren't or aren't privileged to have access to this.
Fortunately, different organisations and agencies have different initiatives targeted at exposing young people to tech. We share some of them in our daily newsletter [https://techcabal.com/category/tc-daily/]
Also, at TechCabal, we're definitely looking forward to working with schools and communities to tell them more about tech. We even have a newsletter focused on people interested in entering tech coming up soon.
I think the younger generation is privileged to have more resources at their disposal and will do greater than this generation. Technological advancements tend to get better as time goes by. All is well.
