Anie Akpe’s insights on African women in tech | On The Record
In this episode of On The Record, Al Jazeera’s Samantha Johnson is joined by Anie Akpe, founder of African Women in Technology.
Years ago, Akpe attended a technology conference dominated by men and figured it was time for that to change. In their conversation, Akpe and Johnson talk about how a male-dominated sector, as well as some African cultures, conspire to keep women on the technological sidelines. Hence the need to create something like African Women in Technology. Akpe also touches on the practical circumstances that can often get in the way of women trying to break into tech.
