Message From the Founder of Miss.Africa
In 2014, I was asked to address the ITU’s annual Girl’s ICT day in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Part of my key note message to women which is still relevant today said “…An entry point for girls also is the use your own smart devices, like your mobile phones and applications built on it. Being an expert user is a starting point for Girls and women, less being a developer of apps. Second is the active use of social media tools and ways to use them to create value for yourself or the organizations you work for, for purposes of branding, marketing and global communications. The ICT sector clearly underpins this and many other developments in the future…Getting educated in ICT is no longer nerdy, it is trendy.” (Read the coverage of ITU Girl’s ICT day of 24th April 2014 keynote here)
