" "Empowering African women in tech is the core of my passion and purpose. The opportunity to become a Millennium Fellow excites me because it will allow me to deepen my impact by collaborating with like-minded individuals who share a commitment to social change. Through this fellowship, I aim to align my initiatives with the UNAI principles and SDGs, creating more inclusive opportunities and fostering innovation in underrepresented communities. I am eager to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully, ensuring that my work continues to uplift and empower those who need it most." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: ADA IN TECH
My project focuses on empowering young African women to break barriers in the tech industry by providing access to educational resources, mentorship, and job opportunities. It aims to address the underutilization of skills and lack of acknowledgment for diverse perspectives, particularly among women from Sub-Saharan Africa.
