Since the explosion of Smartphone technologies, a growing number of Africans are creating content, sharing their ideas, experiences, dreams, creativity, imagination, and determination for a better life on multiple digital platforms. The opportunities to share content that addresses the thoughts, ideas, that are on the minds of millions of Africans. The voices of millions of Africans are important, they are valuable and carry the weight of millions of others through the centuries. Even though I live in the United States, I can see, read and if I wanted to hear the contributions of Africans that want better schools, that desire employment not just for themselves, but for the youth, teens and young adults that want to improve the living conditions of their families. Technology has grown to the point where Africans with a Smartphone can be connected to the world.
Digital platforms have opened so many opportunities for Africans to share their voices, to empower their voices and market their knowledge and business objectives. Using technology to amplify their desires to be entrepreneurs across the second largest continent on the globe. The value and potential in building African home-grown businesses that potentially can improve communities and provide new revenues to fund cities, villages, communities. Building of communities can allow for growth in areas of improved schools, roads, medical facilities, law enforcement that has the needs of the citizens first and open gates that allow youth, teens, and young adults to either stay in the community and contribute or leave to pursue their dreams.
There are strong and influential entrepreneurs across Africa, they just need to be paired with the correct digital tools to solve a problem, provide resources and services that other Africans need. There are social issues that need to be addressed and social engagements to be engaged in conversations across the continent. Technology can be used and applied to personal Smartphones that can and do empower Africans as never before. As a member of the World Metaverse Council working in the fields of Education, Business Development and The Arts. Too many opportunities have been lost that can make significant changes in the mindsets of youth and teens. Exposure to tech is a powerful moment of growth and awareness to empower the mind and stir the imagination of what could potentially be achieved Africans.
Digital platforms are a gift and a blessing to Africans seeking to take their ideas, dreams, and imaginations to another level. Africans supporting Africans is the goal when applying technologies that encourage collaboration and engagement. Africans supporting the global African Diaspora is a dream of
many including myself as an African American and my wife as an Afro-Latina. The hope and dream comes from us, a husband and wife, to take communities the hand and bring them along to share
knowledge, ideas, dreams, skills, talents and abilities we are a blessing to have. We are not alone, there
are others that are African, Afro-Latina, African American and members of the African Diaspora.
As an educator of STREAM+M – Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics and Metaverse that blends AI, VR, and IOT. I’m joyful to see that Africans are working to build unity, collaboration, investments in themselves and other Africans, and partnerships in Africa. Teaching classes in Nigeria, Uganda, South Africa and in Kenya. We support technology conferences across Africa, Central America, and other global areas. We sponsor youth and teens to attend African WordCamp and other conferences that are growing, since 2017 we have sponsored over 600 youth and teens to attend technology conferences. Our businesses MetaverseWP, LoveBuilt Life, and My Quest To Teach see the great potential of all African children.
Technology will empower African people; this is not a trend it is a real fact. Africans can share their thoughts on political, societal, economic, and educational issues that directly affect them. They can unify, collaborate, cooperate, and build communities, not waiting on governmental actions that take years to work and cost money that local communities do not have.
Africans can help themselves and move forward to empower, inspire, invest, and build their own capital to fund their own projects. African investments are key to the growth of Africa as a major influencer of technology and technological innovation. Sharing the unique and authentic content on diverse digital platforms is what Africans across the continent are learning how to do better because they have the technology in their digital devices to do it.
There are areas that many societies focus on and even though they may be separated African boundaries, borders, languages, and geographical locations all that is needed is access to affordable Wifi, a Smartphone, a tablet, or other digital devices.
Digital African content is being shared that inspires Africans passion to helping each other, building communities and constructing stability in discussions where everyone wins and everyone is valued.
As contributors and sponsors to African events and supporters to a stronger, independent, and free Africa our companies LoveBuilt Life, LLC, MetaverseWP and My Quest To Teach are inviting Africans to be engaged and active in digital events and activities for youth, teens and young Africans. How to build businesses and develop digital super powers using STEAM+M and integrating AI (Artificial Intelligence), VR (Virtual Reality) and other areas of Tech.
Using technology to help Africa Rise and Raising African youth and teens to be the digital leaders,
innovators, creators Africa needs.
