I am Leticia Makafui Ahiamadzi, a young African woman passionate about youth development, innovation, and climate action. 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 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!

When Empathy drives Innovation| Empowering the Visually Impaired through Tech

In this episode of Voices of Innovation, we sit down with Emmanuel Quartey, a software developer, IoT and STEM enthusiast, and the visionary behind Steward Vision Assistance, the tech solution redefining accessibility for the visually impaired.

From winning the 2024 Disability Inclusive Hackathon to leading a team that believes innovation should leave no one behind, Emmanuel shares his journey of merging empathy with technology. Together, we explore what it means to build inclusive solutions in Africa, the power of emerging tech like AI and IoT, and how young changemakers can create impact with purpose.
