About This Podcast

I am Leticia Makafui, a young African woman passionate about youth innovation. I’ve had many ideas but lacked the resources, mentorship, and confidence to bring them to life. Many young people face the same struggle and those already creating solutions sometimes lose hope, feeling that African innovation is undervalued or overlooked. Through my podcast, I amplify african youth voices, share real stories, and inspire belief. When young people see others like them solve problems, they start to believe they can too and that belief can reshape Africa's future!
