Thanks for sharing our story @CNNAfrica

Because my work lives at the intersection of education, technology, equity, policy, and access, Valentine’s Day makes me pause and ask a different question! If you were to give me a gift… what would I truly need? From policymakers, I do not need flowers! I need a seat at the roundtable! A real conversation about the future we are designing for our children! From organizations, I do not need cards! I need partnerships! Hands joined together to move ideas into action! From private and government decision-makers, I do not need decorations! I need a redesign of frameworks! Fair distribution! Real access! Resources that reach the communities that have waited the longest! So this Valentine’s Day, my heart is not resting! My heart is working! It is thinking about solutions, systems, and possibilities! I look at every laptop, every internet connection, every child’s smile, and I see more than devices! I see hope in motion! Hope for today! Hope for a future that is kinder, smarter, and more inclusive! Happy Valentine’s Day! @HP @elonmusk Where love is not only spoken, but built, shared, and given as opportunity! #STEMForAll #TechEquity #EducationMatters #WomenInSTEM #DigitalInclusion #PolicyForChange #DiaryOfATechEquityCEO

Walking into the future — but who is walking with us? AI is advancing. Automation is expanding. Digital systems are getting smarter every week. But millions have never touched a computer. Some classrooms still have no internet. Some teachers are preparing students for a digital economy without digital tools. The future is accelerating. Access is not. Progress that excludes is not progress. Innovation that widens the gap is not innovation. The real question is simple: Are we building a future everyone can step into? Or one only a few can afford? #TechEquity #DigitalInclusion #AIinEducation #GrassrootsEducation #STEMLeadership

@ozii_baba Thank you @ozii_baba God bless you.

Two years ago, the Igbo community on Twitter held a Twitter Space to support Uchenna Onwuamaegbu, who gained admission to Harvard. Today, Igboland benefits from that action. Read Uchenna Onwuamaegbu Ugwu's inspiring story: theheadbridge.com/uchenna-onwuam…

I arrived in the United States safely after a fruitful stay in Nigeria. I did my project and I spent quality time with family, friends, and loved ones. Now, it is time to return to finish what we all started together. This journey has been filled with memories, and with dreams we dreamed and brought to life together. It has truly been a blessing, and that’s because so many of you stood by me. You supported me, you believed in me, and I hope I did not disappoint. Thank you for your love, your kindness, and your prayers. I may not be able to mention all your names here, but you know yourselves. Graduation is coming in less than 60 days! If you are around, please come. If you are not, no worries we are bringing the celebration back home. Your prayers are working. Keep praying. It is not over until graduation day. Thank you all.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬: 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡. A few days ago, I was featured on 𝐓𝐕𝐂 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐬, Nigeria, as part of the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. It was another opportunity to share my journey a journey that started small. In local and community schools around Onitsha, I began working with young girls both in-school and out-of-school teaching them how to build with tech. We used what we had. We dreamed of what we didn’t. Today, through the 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, we have grown that dream. Support from the Harvard Innovation Labs has helped us reach more girls, more communities, and more hearts. That kind of support reminds us of something important: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. Change can start right where we are. I remembered 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟖, when a group of five girls I mentored won the global gold award at the Technovation Challenge in 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲, 𝐔𝐒𝐀. That moment shifted everything. Suddenly, STEM for girls wasn’t a side story. 𝐈𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. We started seeing signs of progress. Governments at different levels began to take steps. Digital tools entered classrooms. #STEM became a buzzword. Girls in tech were no longer invisible. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡. Real progress will come when governments partner with people like us people who live in these communities and understand the real challenges. 𝐖𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐬. 𝐖𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬. 𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐲, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲. We don’t just need recognition. We need real partnerships. 𝐖𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. Women’s History Month is a time to look back but also to look forward. Because sometimes, all it takes is one girl: A laptop. An internet connection. A mentor. A dream. 𝐈𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. #WomensHistoryMonth #TechEquity #GirlsInTech #STEMEducation #EducationForChange #HarvardInnovationLabs #NigeriaTech #PowerOfOneGirl #LocalSolutions #MentorshipMatters

Igbo Names Needed! A mother who waited a long time for a baby boy has finally been blessed with one. She wants a unique Igbo name that reflects this testimony, but Kamsiyochukwu is off the table. What beautiful name would you suggest for her son? Drop your ideas below! ⬇️

@TechManam Thank you

𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞. My Masters education journey at Harvard Graduate School of Education came with a lot of doubt, yes, even self-doubt, challenges, and moments when resources were scarce. But through it all, one thought never left my mind: I had to take a piece of @Harvard University home. 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥. I am deeply grateful to the #HarvardInnovationLabs for awarding me the 𝑺𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒕 𝑭𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝑭𝒖𝒏𝒅, special thanks to Rebekah Emanuel, Julia Berman and Phillip Green for your endless mentorship. To everyone who believed in me, supported me, and even donated so I could stay in school, your faith in me made this possible. This is just the beginning of our story, but today, I celebrate bringing something home: ✨ Functionally equipped solar-powered #𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝑬𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒚 Hub, a space designed to respond to the need for green energy solutions while bridging the gap between urban and hard-to-reach communities. To me it is a 𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 Hub. It is: 🌸 A chance for young girls to see a future beyond 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒆. 🌸 A space for youth to build businesses and gain skills. 🌸 A resource for families to be empowered through entrepreneurship education. 🌸 A gateway to the broader world. It came before graduation, I brought something home🥳 This is not small, it feels like buying a house in Silicon Valley💃🏾. 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞. 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 #Ubuntu. Did you 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 reading this? There is so much more we can do, and I know we can do it together. If this mission speaks to your heart, we can build, create, and transform lives side by side, please #share and #mention this project to like minds. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐝. Thank you Harvard Graduate School of Education it has been a wonderful experience. #Ubuntu #TechEquity #Harvard #edufuntechnik #HarvardinnovationHub #TheWorkContinues #Edufuntechnik #Iwillsupportuche #SDG4 #SDG5 #SDG7 #SDG8 #SDG9 #SDG10 #MWFAAN Nigeria Mandela Washington Fellowship .

@ArinzeUgwuanyi Who is them?

@uchesilver Now, why should we leave government jobs for them? We sink boreholes, maintain the roads ourselves, and contribute money to fix the electricity for the streets. Well, what's the purpose of governance if we can do all these things?

Can a teaching hospital really experience this? If so, what will be the fate of our student doctors? Who will guide and mentor them under such circumstances? It is difficult to put into words how challenging this is. Even when electricity is finally restored, there’s no guarantee that the dialysis process will be completed before the power goes out again.
