A technology that cannot hear most Africans cannot claim to understand Africa ~ Churchill Otieno lnkd.in/dGnmXWPJ
AfroFrequency officially launched in New York, this marked a powerful beginning to a much bigger conversation. From technology and culture to media, creativity, research and governance, the room brought together African voices and global perspectives around one central question
After Afrofrequency's successful launch in New York, the conversation is now moving to Africa, and you get to contribute. If you could put one issue on the AfroFrequency agenda for its next gathering, what would it be? hashtag#AfroFrequency hashtag#AfricanFutures hashtag#UNGA81
"As the Ghanaian proverb says, 'When spiders unite, they can tie down a lion.” Churchill Otieno, President TAEF
"For TAEF, this partnership with MTN and the University of Johannesburg is about building an ecosystem of editors, journalists, innovators, and diplomats who work together to ensure Africa’s priorities are not an afterthought, but a starting point in global conversations."
"The launch of the Media Innovation Programme reminds us of what Julius Nyerere called kujitegemea (self-reliance). We cannot outsource our narratives. We must build our own capacity, forge our own collaborations, and innovate from our own realities." Churchill, President TAEF
"Good morning, distinguished colleagues, Excellencies, friends of the media fraternity, and the innovators joining us through the Media Innovation Programme." @otienoc
