Join us on a captivating exploration of Southern Africa's tech landscape, as I, Michael Kamathi, and my dynamic co-host Sylvia Jebet, host the remarkable Jessica Randal, Africa's Talking Community Lead and Mathematician. Together, we navigate the diverse terrain of technological innovation and community empowerment that is reshaping the continent. Jessica's journey from a love of numbers to the forefront of tech community development is not just inspiring—it's a beacon for those seeking to merge their passions with their careers.

In this episode, we tackle the buzz around emerging technologies and their ethical implications. Android and Kotlin aficionados will revel in the discussion, while novices gain a roadmap to navigating the complexities of these tools. Jessica opens up about her experience in leading tech communities and imparts valuable wisdom on how to cultivate growth and learning through collaborative networks like Women in Tech and Girl Code. The conversation also ventures into the potential of mathematically-inclined individuals to excel in programming, debunking the myth that you need a traditional tech background to thrive in this rapidly advancing field.

As voices from Cape Town's multicultural tech hub, we spotlight the multifaceted nature of the industry, celebrating its ability to adapt and innovate across various sectors. The episode culminates with an emphasis on the human element, which remains at the heart of technological progress. We warmly invite our audience to continue the dialogue by engaging with us across the digital landscape, at Impact Masters Media and Africa's Talking channel, Retorts.
