What an incredible 3 days at Mozilla Festival House in Zambia! This week was all about connection, collaboration, and rethinking how AI and technology can truly serve people and the planet. With 300+ amazing attendees, the energy was unmatched—from curated safe spaces to deep-dive discussions that left us all inspired. The Philanthropy Summit was a highlight for me, hearing directly from funders about what’s working (and what’s not) when implementing tech solutions in Africa. But today’s session by the Skoll Foundation on "How AI is Shaping Social Innovation in Africa" stole the show—real, honest conversations about responsible AI and the importance of centring people in this ever-evolving space. Huge shoutout to the Mozilla Foundation for creating a space where young leaders feel seen, heard, and inspired. We need more moments like this to come together, learn from each other, and shape a future that works for everyone.
