To celebrate World Social Media Day, Africa Uncensored hosted a group of university students from across the country for a day themed . The event began with an insightful panel discussion moderated by Michael Migwi, who leads social media at Africa Uncensored. The panel featured comedian and political satirist Kennedy Kamakia, Polly Wachira, the Head of Campaigns and Community at Thellesi Trust, and Timothy Mwaura, a designer and advocate for the conservation of play spaces. The speakers shared how they have used social media to educate, challenge bad governance, and advocate for positive change in their communities.
After the discussion, the students participated in a creative challenge where they identified a social issue in groups and either developed a strategy to raise awareness or performed a skit aimed at communicating the message. The rest of the participants acted as judges, evaluating how effectively each group delivered their message.
The day concluded with a networking session, allowing students to connect and engage with the Africa Uncensored team. We’re especially grateful to the Journalism Students Association of Kenya (JSAK) for partnering with us and ensuring their members could be part of this important and inspiring experience.
At Africa Uncensored, we remain committed to empowering the next generation of storytellers and changemakers who are using social media not just for connection, but for impact.
