"Our biggest task and challenge as mentors, facilitators or educators is to inspire more youthful generations to become content creators rather than just content consumers. On the other hand, we should aspire to create many platforms for youth to learn and earn a decent wage through the use of technology." - Wilson Masaka, Youth Advocate and Social Entrepreneur.

Youth Employability Program at MYSA

📍School Holiday, 3 Days Bootcamp : Digital Literacy and Life Skills Training. 

I had the privilege of leading a training session at MYSA Kenya from November 19–21, 2025. The three-day boot camp was held for school-going youth who are currently on school holiday.  

The primary goal of the workshop, which was attended by 40 participants in total, was to help the learners understand more about current and emerging technologies and their impact on our lives. 

The main objectives of the training were as follows;

1. How to effectively utilise the internet and related technologies.

2. Introduction of the 21st-century skills 

3. How to manage personal social media presence.

4. Personal branding (online vs. offline)

5. How to create content for social media (shoot and edit videos and photos using the smartphone). Content creation vs. content consumers. 

6. Inspiration/discussion point/insights: school smart vs. street smart. Preparing for both the known and unknown future.

📌 Skill UP Master Class.

Book a masterclass session with me to learn more about how to move up from an amateur to a mid-level to a pro photographer. 

In my session I share the art, science and business of photography, inspiring the learners to find their own pathways by becoming lifelong learners. I'm a lifelong learner and a self-made photographer with more than 16 years' experience in photography.

Remember, the best camera is the one you have in the moment and that can be your smartphone.
