Happy International Day of the Girl Child!

Oh gosh, I looove this picture. She had just heard her team’s name announced as an award winner in our AI for Her program @afrotechxcel

And i genuinely I want this for every girl: the chance to learn, build something of her own and have her work recognized.

Three years ago, I sat in a computer science lecture as the only girl in the room, again.

I was the gap I’m now closing. Building AfroTechXcel was my response.

Now, I’m happy to announce that I’ve been selected to join @unicef_nigeria @genunlimited Nigeria’s Young People’s Action Team (YPAT), 2026–2027

Through YPAT, I’ll bring our community lessons into education, AI and digital skills policy, with girls’ access, safety and ambitions at the center.

Thank you, GenU 9JA for the trust. Nigeria’s youth need more than aspirations. They need infrastructure. I’m here to help build it.

What does it cost Africa when women don’t feel safe enough to participate online?
@africanunion_wgyd @africanunion_official

Last week in Addis Ababa, I joined practitioners from across Africa to launch the African Union’s Community of Practice on Technology-Facilitated Violence Against Women and Girls.

One perspective I brought into the room: protecting women online is also an economic issue. When women are pushed out of business, education, leadership or digital work, Africa loses their talent, innovation and economic contribution too.

My work sits between policy and practice. I started as an ML engineer and moved into AI governance, while building @afrotechxcel keeps me close to how technology actually reaches women and girls.

So for me, safety cannot just live in policy. It has to shape how we build AI from multilingual testing and guardrails to human oversight and ways to appeal when systems fail.

And protection is not the finish line:
Access → Literacy → Resilience → Agency → Leadership.

Women shouldn’t only be safe in Africa’s digital future.

We should have the power to shape it.

From “I’m just here to learn” to “Wait… I actually know how to do this!” 😂✨

My AfroTech Excel journey has been filled with learning, challenges, new skills, and plenty of “let me figure this out” moments. 😅

Now I’m officially in my **final week**, and I’m so excited to see my final project come together! 🎉

I’ve learned so much about digital tools, AI, spreadsheets, research, communication, teamwork, and solving real-world problems.

Most importantly, I’ve learned that growth happens when you’re willing to step outside your comfort zone and keep learning.

One week to go! 🚀
Here’s to finishing strong and taking these skills into the next chapter. ❤️

@afrotechxcel Thank you for the opportunity.One wholesome month of seamless teachings,great mentorship and insightful conversations.
Someone told me recently -somethings aren't necessary hard,all it requires is your attention even to the slightest details.I gave that illustration in regard to week 3 of this cohort.i had to redo an assessment thrice before I could proceed to the next section.I had mails upon mails and my mentor was on my dm asking what the problem was🫣🫣.She literally helped my journey here🎉🥳.That process thought me to pay more attention to details properly.🤭🤭
Acknowledging friends that shared opportunities too and yes, a massive Shout-out to @peaceehiose and @joy_ehiose for sharing that link to register.
With appropriate applications,I would definitely make tremendous progress.

Thank you once again @afrotechxcel
For such initiative.
Thank you everyone for celebrating with me 🥳🥳🥳

Can I please have 4 minutes of your time? I promise it’s worth it.

One week ago, women and girls broke the pattern.
Not with words but with proof.
350+ girls and women.
One stage.
Real projects. Real work.

From 8-year-olds building their first tech solutions through @technovationglobal , to teenage girls in our AI for Her program at @afrotechxcel who didn’t just train models but understood what they built, to women from @wtmabujang presenting and winning.

They didn’t just attend.
They showcased.
They explained.
They owned it.

This is what happens when you create the right environment.
It was captured and all 4 minutes are worth your time.

Grateful to our guest judges, my mentor Engr. Stella Uzochukwu, The International Award for Young People Nigeria, and the FCT Secondary Education Board and to the @au_cieffa for trainings which enables changemakers to create impact ❤️🫶

Events end. Impact doesn’t. ❤️

International Women’s Day makes me think about the choices women quietly carry.

Not the easy ones people celebrate online but the difficult ones we make almost every day.

The choice to stay in spaces where you are sometimes the only woman in the room.
The choice to keep learning when the path is unclear.
The choice to speak up when it would be easier to stay quiet.
The choice to keep building even when you doubt yourself.

Women make difficult choices often.
And we rarely make them alone.

Behind every woman who keeps going is usually a community people who make the journey lighter.
Mentors who guide you.
Friends who remind you why you started.
Girls who look up to you and unknowingly give you the courage to continue.

For me, communities like @wtmabujang , the girls building with @afrotechxcel , and many people who believed in me along the way have been that support system.

Because the truth is:
talent is important, but good people matter even more.

You need people who will challenge you, encourage you, and sometimes simply remind you that you belong in the room.

So today, I’m grateful not just for progress, but for the people who made the path possible.

And to the girls and women still navigating their own difficult choices:
you don’t have to do it alone.

Happy International Women’s Day.

4 Days to Go!

What if the difference between panic and peace of mind was just one message away?

Imagine waking up at 2 a.m. with sharp pregnancy pain.

The hospital is far.
Transport is expensive.
You’re scared… and the internet isn’t giving answers you trust.
For many women, this isn’t hypothetical. It’s reality.

Meet Team Ayamama.

They’re building IOMAMA — a digital health platform that gives pregnant women direct access to verified medical professionals right from their phones.

With IOMAMA, women can:
💬 Chat with gynecologists
❓ Ask follow-up questions
🤝 Add partners for shared support
📱 Get trusted guidance when they need it most
Because safer motherhood shouldn’t depend on distance, cost, or uncertainty.

On March 11, they’ll unveil their MVP and show how they’re transforming maternal healthcare at Women Techmakers Abuja × @afrotechxcel
If you believe every woman deserves better care, better access, and better support, watch out for this team.

See you on the 11th.
