At GitHub Constellation 2024, held in Johannesburg, South Africa, I participated as a panelist on the "All In Africa" Panel.
During the panel, I addressed several key questions, including:
Sharing my background – I spoke about my journey as a developer and community organizer, highlighting what inspired me to advocate for the GitHub All In Africa program in Southern Africa.
Challenges addressed by the program – I discussed the program's potential to tackle barriers such as limited access to resources, mentorship, and global tech opportunities, which often hinder the growth of African developers.
The program’s future role – I shared my vision for how initiatives like GitHub All In Africa can evolve to further support tech talent in the region by fostering collaboration, creating more accessible learning paths, and driving innovation tailored to Africa's unique needs.
The panel was an enriching experience, emphasizing the importance of building ecosystems that empower African developers to thrive.
