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.
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 must say this is a very relevant and interesting topic. Celebrity endorsement, especially in the days of social media will continue to play a huge role in business management and marketing communications.From a research perspective, you might want to understand1. The type of brands that are more likely to use celebrity endorsement - banks, telecom or gambling company?2. What type of advertising appeal are being adopted? Are they emotional appeal or rational appeal?3. What type of celebrity do we have endorsing products? This can be cross tabulated with point 1.4. What are consumers attitude towards celebrity endorsement? Is it a norm or people are tired of it?5. Speaking with Brand Managers, what are their challenges in selecting and working with celebrity influencers?

As I suggest above, this appeal to/for an African agenda is grand romanticism, not real politik. We know from theory and from empirical studies that top-down trickle-down approaches are unlikely to solve Africa's fundamental problems of poverty, illiteracy and disease. A look at AU for instance, suggests we are too focused on being like the UN, instead of recognising our resource constraints and cutting our suit according to our cloth.
But beyond that continental body, what is the value addition of the 12-odd bodies duplicating activities across the continent? Eight of the 15 ECOWAS countries belong to UWEMOA, the only divide being that the latter are Francophone. Among SADC's 15 members, 4 belong to SACU, and 8 belong to COMESA. Some of these countries belonging to multiple organisations, paying millions in membership fees, cannot even feed their people at home!
Good governance requires prudent management of government. The richer countries of Europe have a single primary membership body, EU...and NATO if you like. So why do we allow France to sponsor UWEMOA as a means of dividing ECOWAS?
African countries are burning money they do not have in such organisations; but they also burn money internally through corruption. The bottom line is the failure of good governance on the continent.

There are several challenges that a new entrant can face in the work place. But I will like to mention the top two.1. Adopting the work culture: Work place is so different from school, you will need to unlearn, re-learn and learn the procedures, policies and process assets required to function effectively in your specific organisation.2. Going the extra mile: In the workplace, there is actually nothing like, "my best is enough". You will need to always continuously improve in order to stay relevant and stay winning.

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

Hello Precious, You should explore Medium. It's a platform for writers. You can eventually start your own blog, but try and build consistency on medium and also get some inspiration and maybe start building a community. Don't ignore LinkedIn and Twitter.

Having a political Godfather and Godmother is not in itself a wrong approach. It is how it is done that must be looked at. A sound Godfather or Godmother would not introduce you into ignoble things. He or she would rather protect you from exploitation. Anyone who would introduce in a clause that is exploitative has no business becoming your Godfather or Godmother. So in choosing a Godfather or Godmother, be wise and be discerning. Choose to the right people

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.

If Africa had not been colonised, I wonder where we would be today!!! Yet, given the globalised nature of the planet, I do not even see how that issue arises: today one can talk of neutral states, but in those days, a territory either colonised or was colonised on encounter.
Technological advancement defines what is 'better off', i.e. where people want to go... and colonisation set us off towards that better-off. But that 'better-off' is a dynamic situation, and tenure among the 'best-off' - whatever the globally accepted measure, this is a game of musical chairs with tenure changing with changes in various situations. This dynamism also applies among the developing countries which belong to the lower echelons of the better-off ladder, aspiring to haul themselves up it. So colonialism was a necessary evil...
While some of our founding fathers (sic) appreciated in the evil in - averse effects of - colonialism, they were up against those leaders who did not see that evil, and the mighty, white-washing force of neo-colonialism. Africa missed an opportunity to unite in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The colonialists and ex-colonialists divided and ruled: they convinced most individual African 'nationalists' that their best interests lay in going it alone. Contemporary pleas for African unity are mere nostalgic romanticism: corporate forces are more powerful that those of political idealism. That is the greatest adversity inherited from colonialism.
