AfriTech Fellowship

💡Did you know? Project management has its origins in ancient Egypt! 🏺✨ From the construction of pyramids to modern methodologies like Gantt charts and the Critical Path Method, this discipline has evolved significantly over time. Understanding these historical foundations shows us that effective planning and efficiency have been essential for centuries. Let’s honor this legacy as we navigate today’s projects with creativity and purpose! #AfriTechFellowship #ATF #ProjectManagement #AncientEgypt #Innovation #AfriTech #Fellowship

We are excited to share that our Founder, Véronique Couttee-Jenkins, was a distinguished speaker at the 2024 New Zealand Esri User Conference, hosted by Eagle Technology from September 23rd to 25th. As a passionate advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion, Véronique delivered a powerful session on advancing dialogue around identity and feminist perspectives in geospatial storytelling. Her insightful presentation resonated deeply with leaders, innovators, and changemakers, underscoring the need to create brave spaces for transformative conversations. Participants were invited to reflect on two questions:  Are there aspects of your identity you feel you downplay or keep hidden in the workplace? What does Feminist Reality look like within the context of Geospatial Storytelling? Their responses offered profound insights, contributing to a collective process of co-creating and uncovering feminist realities. Here’s a summary of their key reflections: Aspects of Identity Downplayed at Work 💔 Relationship status downplayed. 😟 Anxiety and mental health hidden. 🌈 Sexual orientation is often concealed. 🧠 Experience and knowledge understated. 🏠 Family trauma and background. Defining a Feminist Reality in Geospatial Storytelling 💼 Equitable pay for all. 🌐 Accessible tech for everyone. 🗣️ Awareness of bias. 🔄 Ongoing challenge and change. 👩👩👧👧 Highlighting historically marginalized group values.
