AI is no longer a buzzword; it’s a quiet co‑worker in our homes, hospitals, hustles and halls of power.

I’m Waihiga K. Muturi , an African innovation strategist and AI generalist – and this show explores how AI collides with everyday life across Africa and the Global South.

From MSMEs in Nairobi to entrepreneurs in North America, we unpack practical, human‑anchored ways to survive and thrive in the age of algorithms.

This is “AI Survival Hackbook”, where care, code and community meet.

If this conversation nudged your thinking, share it with one person in your world who is quietly worried about AI but doesn’t have language for it yet.”

Also, subscribe if you believe AI should serve people, not the other way around. That’s the community we’re building here.”

And last but not least, I’d love to hear how AI is touching your context, whether you’re in Nairobi, Munich, New York and/or anywhere in between. Drop a comment or reach out via LinkedIn; I actually read and respond.

Reclaiming Africa’s Digital Future: A Strategic Framework for AI Implementation and Continental Collaboration

Africa stands at a crossroads in the AI revolution: will we lead our narrative or be left behind? We see our labor, data and creativity fueling others’ AI while our communities struggle – a form of modern "digital colonialism". But Africa’s youthful innovators and pan-continental solidarity point to another path. By embracing the newly endorsed Continental AI Strategy’s “Africa-centric, development-focused approach” and tapping our booming youth potential, we can build home-grown AI for agriculture, health, education and more.

It’s time to reclaim digital sovereignty and ensure technology works for Africa’s future — #ActOnAI now.

In the midst of 1,962 applications and countless rejections, I discovered something profound – the same DMAIC methodology that transforms

When rejection emails outnumbered interview calls, I turned to process improvement rather than despair. My newly earned Yellow Belt isn't just a certificate on my wall – it's become my framework for navigating life's storms.

The data tells a sobering story: 18,339 filtered jobs, 45 first rounds, 29 case studies, and zero offers... yet. But unlike before, each rejection has become data, not defeat. Each setback offers lessons to analyze, not reasons to surrender.

Through this journey, I've witnessed how these principles are transforming businesses across Africa and MENA – from Sarah Odhiambo reducing waste by 23% in Nairobi to Joseph Mwangi cutting delivery times by 40% in Mombasa with simple process mapping.

The storm hasn't passed, but I've learnt to navigate it better. Hope isn't just an emotion – it's a continuous improvement project with your own life as its focus.
