Still Proud to be Kenyan.

I would have started by writing that “there is no greater believer in the reach and power of social media than myself”, if it were true. But I am in there with millions of others who feel as strongly, desire as passionately, and who are participating even more fervently than myself. The beauty of Social Media and its inherent power has been in its ability to connect people and interests. It is with this in mind that I wish to publish the content below which was sent to me by Juliet Maruru. She herself has been at the forefront of using social media to encourage emerging writers to become.

She is now introducing Africa’s melting pot – Afripot. I am already boiling in there and I hope to see you there too as conversations over there about Africa with Africans pick up and heat up. Who knows, it may generate enough heat to force some of the changes we so badly need.

Read what she has to say and see what Afripot is all about.

Thank you and this is what Juliet has to say…

Afripot – Africa’s Melting Pot!

It is interesting how fast communications paths have evolved. From mail that took a few months to arrive at its destination, to express mail that was expected to arrive in 3 to 7 days, and then email, instant messages, facebook, twitter… The modern professional needs to keep learning all the time just to keep up with the fast changes.

Africans living and working at home, or living/studying and working abroad, all of us are very much interested in seeing our country not just developing economically and financially, but also protected from greedy and corrupt individuals who would seek to deplete all the resources Africa has available.

The Swahili tribe has a saying, “Kidole kimoja hakiuwi chawa.” One finger cannot kill lice. To be in a position to understand the Africa we live in, her challenges, and the possible ways to make her better, we need to do more than observe. Africans need to get together in dialogue, information and enlightenment in order to ever be able to devise processes for better democracy, stronger economies and even stronger societies.

Afripot is the answer to the question. As Africa’s Melting Pot, this new web portal seeks to bring together the North, South, East and West of Africa, in a conglomeration of information, discussion and creative intercourse that aims at opening the doors to the further development of our beloved Africa.

As well as offering you news that affects Africa, we also offer forums and networking applications that can make it possible for you to connect with your friends as well as with new contacts from all over Africa.

To advertise your business or event, please go to www.afripot.com and fill in the contact form to the right of the website.
