Finally, Someone Who Cares About Us

"Finally, Someone Who Cares About Us," was a phrase communicated to me by a young lady of African heritage when I described Liquid Barrier's latest venture to create a digital platform to amplify young African female voices.

As most of you know, I started Liquid Barrier about two years ago at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic when an offer to join a major pharmaceutical company was rescinded. Since then, Liquid Barrier has expertly created technology, business, and social media content--mostly thought leadership articles, newsfeed posts, and website copy. We've also dabbled in improving the look and feel and design of our client's websites and LinkedIn profiles.

Recently, to expand and deepen Liquid Barrier's influence and to address more than several critical needs identified within and around our African diaspora, I have decided to create a platform to serve as a vehicle for young African women to express their perspectives on such important themes as environment/climate change and sustainability, politics, health/reproductive care, technology, economics, and education--only to name a few.

In my opinion, young African women have not always had the opportunity to express themselves as freely and as often as they might like--and/or perhaps they haven't had the platform. At the same time, young African women will without question play a critical role in the future development of our Continent as well as maintain our rich history.

Since recently speaking to so many young African ladies over the past few weeks to introduce the platform, words can barely express how impressed I've been with their intelligence, polish, poise, education, style, class, and charm--not to mention their extraordinary beauty.

I sincerely believe Africa's true treasures are not petroleum products, diamonds, gold, copper, lithium, or timber. It is our young African women whom we must promote, cherish, and protect.

Mining the minds and learning from our most precious commodities and at the same time showcasing the excellence of our African culture to the world, is an experience I'm sure you won't want to miss!
