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
Anita Koske

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🌸

Top answers from some of our sessions.
The itching is as a result of the absence of moisture in the skin. I would recommend you use body butter (cocoa butter, mango butter. Shea butter or any body butter of your choice . For moisturizer, it should be a non-greasy moisturizer. I would also advice you see a dermatologist if the body butter does not help with the dryness or stop the itching.

Practice everyday. I honestly just started that. A sketch a day.Be open minded and soak yourself in your creative juice. Read. Read and read. Be in tune with what is going on in the fashion industry and the creative industry in general.Technology is gradually becoming a part of our business, see how innovation can make your work easier. Don’t be afraid of technology, embrace it. Basically be present and keep thinking.

African youth start from a difficult position in belonging to culture that venerate age, i.e. patrimonialism. African women are also in a similar quandary because of patriarchy: the man is the head of the household. So, while both the youth and the women are majority population categories in relation to the respective groups standing against them, they cannot muster the numbers to exploit their respective potential.
On peace building, the way to go about identifying the role of the youth is to ask what the causes are of the lack of peace. Who/what is creating unrest and war, and why? The AU had committed to silencing the guns by 2020; so the question to ask is: what was driving the guns? What had been strategised for their silencing? What was actually done to silence them? And what was achieved? That would be a suitable stating point for an assessment of the youth's potential...
But unfortunately, the youth have likely lost an idealism for change, and are captive of standards set by the older generation. The East African Institute's 2016 Kenyan Youth Survey Report found that more than half the respondents saw nothing wrong with evading taxes or taking bribes, as long as one is not caught. Making money "by hook or crook" was acceptable to 47%, and 40% would vote for a politician who paid for their vote!
While that is not the standard picture of the African youth, it screams that we should not treat the African youth like some undifferentiated whole: after all, even fueling conflict is a money-making enterprise the youth might just want a stake in!!!

Having a political Godfather and Godmother is not in itself a wrong approach. It is how it is done that must be looked at. A sound Godfather or Godmother would not introduce you into ignoble things. He or she would rather protect you from exploitation. Anyone who would introduce in a clause that is exploitative has no business becoming your Godfather or Godmother. So in choosing a Godfather or Godmother, be wise and be discerning. Choose to the right people

Sure, we need to start planning for the future. You want to consider what made these people stand out, they were able to make the best use of opportunities that comes their way. There are many Dangotes that are on boats in Makoko, Lagos, we cant neglect the role of opportunities. However, all things being equal, I will say1. Education - to support critical thinking and evaluation. Even up to PhD is possible/necessary.2. Entrepreneurship - to create income generating opportunities from things around.3. Empathy - to understand and respect other people, to pull other people up, to win together and be real human.

Thank you, UK for this.Well, skill appears overrated sometimes especially technical skills.The reason is, all Architects ideally have the same skill-set technically. The differentiating factor however is what I call life skills. As such, I advise young professionals to have a blend of technical skills and life skills. So rather than work with the head & hand alone, work with the heart as well.I shared this background in order to say that, my life skills have served me more in my career journey across my expressions including leveraging Architecture. Life skills such as relational intelligence, people skills, leadership development, emotional intelligence, communication and presentation, resilience, goal setting amongst others. Check out some previous life skills I have trained on here http://youtube.com/abrahamowoseni

It's all about marketing yourself. If you believe you have the skills, make them believe it too.
Whether it is an official interview position or a networking opportunity, always make sure to take advantage and sell yourself. If you contribute to open source, highlight it in your conversation. If you''ve developed any applications or even simply learned a new technology/programming language, never fail to mention those. Do not let the lack of professional experience deter you.
As a developer, I would also suggest to create a portfolio of your work, no matter how small. If this portfolio is technology-based, like a well designed website or app, that highlights your skills even more and can serve as a great first impression and good conversation starter.

I dare to enjoy the process along the way. Cyndy trimm said in her book (rules of engagement) that the only difference between a dollar bill and a tree is the process. See, as the challenges hit me, I know it has broken the hard nuts and opened for me new amazing opportunities. What if the was no stress, how will I be able to get the experience I now have?

For oily skin you should look for a combination sunscreen/moisturizer. Neutregena, olay , elf and some other brands have that
