  • Hi family In one of our podcast episode, we had the privilege of speaking with Chido Dzinotyiwei co-founder of Vambo AI about the exciting world of AI, entrepreneurship, and education. Here are some key takeaways from our conversation: Language is a powerful tool that can connect or divide people. By investing in AI and language technology, we can bridge language barriers and promote inclusivity. Developing AI models that understand and process African languages is crucial for empowering African communities and driving innovation. Educating people about AI and language technology is essential to harness its potential. By teaching people how to use these tools, we can create a more digitally literate society. A strong team, a minimum viable product (MVP) approach, and resilience are key to building a successful tech startup. AI can be used to personalize learning experiences and make education more accessible. However, it's important to consider the ethical implications of AI in education.

    #Celebrating inspiring change makers Catching up on time becomes a beautiful journey when you partner with visionaries like Samm Marshall, founder of @SocialTV and veteran journalist who bleeds South African pride. In a media landscape cluttered with negativity and paid content, Samm stands as a champion of authentic storytelling. What makes Samm exceptional? His unwavering commitment to highlighting the forgotten heroes in our #socialimpactspace. Through Social TV, he's created BRAGG - a platform that celebrates the genuine, heart-warming stories of change-makers and social entrepreneurs that mainstream media often overlooks. Our partnership at Entrepreneur Connect Africa #ECAfrica#ECAfrica with Social TV goes beyond traditional media collaboration. He understands that circular economies and social impact entrepreneurship aren't just buzzwords - they're the building blocks of sustainable change. Through his relationships, including opening doors at 919 FM.9FM for our podcast, Samm has proven himself a true waymaker. I loved attended the marathon conference online, and the energy was electric! From children's healthcare innovations to groundbreaking food security initiatives, every story shared reinforced why we need platforms like #BRAGG. Listening to the #BRAGG conference was not just inspiring - it was a masterclass in social impact. From Ayabulela Poro sharing how Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital is revolutionizing pediatric care, to Ozzy Nel of SA Harvest revealing how they've rescued millions of meals from going to waste - these aren't just organisations, they're life-changers. The conference revealed companies doing extraordinary work: • Afrika Tikkun Bambanani's innovative youth development programs • McDonald's SA's sustainability initiatives reaching communities nationwide • Sun International Group's transformative community resilience projects • DBE-Ecubed's groundbreaking educational initiatives Through Samm's platform, these stories find their voice. He's not just created a media platform; he's built a movement celebrating South African excellence. 🌟 Friday Shoutout: To Samm Marshall - for showing us that good news isn't just possible, it's necessary. Thank you 919 FM Caren Du Preez for creating spaces for #Entrepreneurship to have a voice in a dwindling media environment where Feel Good Stories in the Business ecosystem is becoming scarcer. Entrepreneur Connect Africa #ECAfrica#ECAfrica and the team Taynita Harilal Keely Nicole Chauke Lesiba Kekana as we build work on our Proof of concept working in collaboration is inspiring. Who's your inspiration in the social impact space? Share their story below!
