Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations

My best friend introduced me to TwoCents, and I remember chatting with Tobi and think how brilliant the platform is!
More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

Hello Temiloluwa, I thin you can start with your personal brand - start to build your own brand, do some research and reading, and gain an understanding of social media on your own. I think you should also aim to work at an agency, just to gain as much experience as possible from as many experts and creatives as possible. I always mention Wild Fusions and Anakle - they are two places to gain knowledge from a digital marketing standpoint. I am sure there are a whole lot of other digital agencies that you can get great experience from, but definitely try to start off in an agency.

A major decision for me was majoring in Computer Science, I always had an interest in biology and medicine but knew that CS could be leveraged to enhance these fields even further. Also choosing to focus on research vs. software engineering internships in undergrad really gave me a strong research foundation that helped me in my successful admission to PhD programs!As for advice, if you want to do a PhD, I would suggest you start looking into research opportunities or programs on campus as soon as possible or look into AI residency programs. It's hard to admit students into PhD programs without research experience and I find that many students put this off until later.

Hello Boma, Another great thing about digital, it's all in the the data. You're able to see instantly if people are engaging with your posts, or are taking the required action you need. It's not always about the target audience though, it can be your content strategy that needs to be changed. Unless your product or the market change significantly, I don't think there is ever a reason to completely change your audience as that is often tied to the kind of product you are providing, most times you are looking at a more focused segment of the audience as oppose to a complete change - for example, I started off targeting black women for my makeup line, but now I have a new product that will make your eyes pop and look bigger, so whilst I am marketing generally to black women, I want to further target black women who have small eyes. Unless you reached the wrong target audience from the start, then you need a complete overhaul.

The most amazing things about Skill Haven are;
We have created tangible impact in the mushrooming crypto space in Uganda. Some people who have been part of our education programmes and events have picked up crypto/blockchain focused careers like crypto content creators, journalists, writers, Web3 developers, influencers etc
The other most interesting thing about Skill Haven is that we are the only crypto & Blockchain Education focused start up in Uganda.Skill Haven has various programmes and we've reached out to over 500 participants in our education programs through open public events/meetups and personal encounters. I can't point out the most amazing thing but people are making great strides in the crypto & blockchain space and that is our ultimate pride.

Personally I don’t have much knowledge on European and German robotics aside from their publications, which seem to be on par with every nation. In my opinion everyone is at a very similar level, and leaders can be pushed aside quickly given luck in research findings. I’ll also say that I’m not a Candidate yet, as I have one more requirement for qualifications to complete. I also don’t have an educated perspective on German education to answer that question well, but I always urge students to choose a graduate program that will support them personally and financially towards their ultimate career goal.

Sir Toby, great to read from you. Your wonderful well coined words say more. With all honesty, as the saying goes: everyone, everything have its place in this world we live in.I personally mostly bring back my momentum by listening to motivational speakers. I will say, Entrepreneurs should be very INTENTIONAL in every action taken both for life and for business. Listening to a motivational speaker doesn't help you solve the hard problems before you. They MOTIVATE you to hold on, think harder, ask if need be and keep pushing upward. Entrepreneurs, don't allow everyone be your cup of tea. As you pipe up or down you client search, so should you pipe down the motivations you listen to daily.

How many fishers will be ready to tell you, fishing at large scale is very profitable?
How many even in your environment will consistently encourage and mentor you to gain more.
The role of an engineer, beyond his analytical sense and political ambitions is that of developing substantial growth even low scale.
As a computer engineer (that's how you ought to be addressed even by yourself: the consciousness of who you are) no one hinders you from developing programs and tools to solve issues in your community. Renewable energies utilisation could be part of it.
Have you ever thought of how in coaction with other engineers around you, you could mobilise waste resources in Buea to make it active?
What of developing plants which will assist the women along the Muea market to easily wash their fish for example?
What of extension to use streams, to generate electricity for Student hostels or automation of water plants in student hostels.
Your question shows you have interest in solving Education and Health issues?
What plans have you taken towards that? If you do consistently, the same funding agencies will come to you, then we could assess your loyalty to solve Africa's problems with your skills.
The earlier we stop the blame game, the better.
You might also want to host a session which people who share interest in your field. This particular session comes from a public demand to elucidate with persons having interest in renewable energies.

My biggest advice to women starting out their careers in tech is to be confident. Often times, I feel that women are discouraged from pursuing highly technical careers because of male dominance or the lack of confidence in their ability to make it happen. One thing that I've realized is that men are not better at women inherently at programming. Removing humility for a moment, I'm probably better than the majority of men in my program at software development. This is because of the confidence that my family and mentors have instilled in me along the way that has allowed me to push through the difficult situations, including failing classes, internship/scholarship/fellowship rejections, and the general abuse that is almost unavoidable as a woman in this field, while developing my skills to a professional level.
My other big piece of advice is to understand that tech is difficult for the majority of people, and to find a community of supporters in your early days. When I first began programming academically 10 years ago, it was nothing like I had ever done before - I had a little experience with web programming and computer architecture, but let me tell you, that introductory C programming course made me cry on several occasions. I actually vowed at one point to never program again. However, I had a community of women around me in computer science and other engineering fields, and they really built me up, helping me learn the concepts in ways that made sense to me, reviewing my problem sets for bugs that I wouldn't have noticed, and giving me confidence that I probably had no business having with my skill level at the time. I wouldn't have had the balls to take some of the risks that I did without the confidence they instilled in me.;It is so important to find a community, and they do exist outside of academia. For example, baddies in tech is a community I'm part of that is provides to support, recruitment and mentorship for black women in their early tech careers.

The simple idea of doing a business shows you are somebody. To start, besure of what you want to share, be sure of who needs it and be sure its going to bring back returns. Remember you are not a nobody, you are definitely someone's answered prayers. Know that you hold the solution to the world's biggest problem...just be able to identify, start telling someone about it. The first step is always the founding step.
