👏🏾 Big #MosquitoClaps Giving back: over the weekend a former The African Leadership University colleague & fellow #Witsie Kelebogile Sephoti invited me to judge & mentor some of the scholars & fellows that were part of an over 600 participant list at Allan Gray Orbis Foundation Jamboree ✨ #AGOFJam2019 The high school scholars were passionate and sharp with inspirational ideas to tackle some of our biggest challenges and the fellows shared similar bottlenecks in our ecosystem on scaling indigenous ideas 💡 and local entrepreneurial solutions. ❤️ I learnt a lot! Ideas can change the world! 🌍 #EachOneReachOne #Urithi #Kanea #GamorLegacy (at Birchwood Hotel & OR Tambo Conference Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzpp40NJ4Tl/?igshid=1l7g21zrm0fkg

#Witsie Dr. Lucie Abrahams director of Wits - University of the Witwatersrand Learning Information Networking Knowledge Centre (@LinkCenterWits) invited me to present on my experiences with Tech Hubs in sub-Saharan African countries. 🇬🇭 🇳🇬 🇺🇬 🇰🇪 🇷🇼 🇲🇺 🇪🇹 🇱🇸 🇿🇦 🙏🏾 It was an opportunity to passionately share my thoughts on internal community building for (a) unearthing local innovation that plugs into indigenous and foreign value-chain and (b) opportunities for funding that welcomes external finance but prioritizes discovering local funding models that also validate locally relevant products and services; thereby improving the sustainability of “new” & innovative ideas into enterprises. I’m happy to share my slides & thoughts if you message me [email protected]; and truly grateful for the PhD, Masters and executive education students in attendance. 📸 credit @edukanea co-founder @iamnomzamo #EduKanea #Urithi #Mastery #GamorLegacy - I’m on the next flight 🛩 to Maseru, Lesotho 🇱🇸 for The Entrepreneurs Network “Entrepreneurship Expo” kindly follow @TENLesotho + @UrithiMedia for more detail and do say hi 👋🏾 if you are in town this week. #GraceAddict 👏🏾#MosquitoClaps 👕 @chocolateclothesgh (at Senate Room, Solomon Mahlangu Building, Wits University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqZhEvigHur/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11d7away7yuc8

👏🏾 #MosquitoClaps #CourseWorkComplete In my previous life I was the Managing Editor for The New Ghanaian 🗞 right out of college; the experience taught me celebrate small wins and monthly milestones. Each month’s edition & getting to print (I eventually built one of Ghana’s 🇬🇭 first online platforms for newspapers) for 50+ states in the US was truly an engaging challenge. 😍 Today I got to see in print, for the first time, the Wits Business School Masters in Management in the field of Innovation Studies brochure with me and my course mate Lehlo 🤓. We were unexpectedly asked to smile and pose for the camera 📸 as we were working on Prof. Ojah’s Financing Innovation assignment. We are successfully done with our course work for the program ✨. It’s been an eventful journey and there is still my research thesis to go, but I’m thankful🙏🏾. It took a lot of faith, a mind-shift to go back to school full-time & bravery to commit my continued engagement with higher education in an African university (betting on decolonized curriculum✊🏾) in JoBurg 🇿🇦. Gratefully, I have no regrets, I’m equipped with so many new lessons & tools to impact our world 🌍 to make it better for the next generation. To small & big wins. Keep pushing! We got this 🥂 🇿🇦 #WBS #Witsie #Mastery #GamorLegacy (at Wits - University of the Witwatersrand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpAHoq8AQOz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nbi2haq8c5jz
