Thinking
These are the intellectual rocks I'm turning over, questions that keep surfacing in my work and conversations. Each represents an ongoing exploration rather than settled conclusions.
Platform Ethics
Question I return to:
How do we build responsible digital platforms that serve communities rather than extract from them?
Current focus:
Investigating the GTV social media incident has me thinking deeply about platform responsibility. When institutions use digital platforms, who bears responsibility for the outcomes? Currently examining how platform design choices either enable or constrain authentic engagement vs. performative posting.
African Digital Future
Question I return to:
What does authentic digital transformation look like when it emerges from African innovation rather than imported solutions?
Current focus:
Working at Media General has shown me the tension between adopting global digital strategies and creating locally relevant solutions. I'm exploring how African organizations can leverage digital tools without losing cultural authenticity or community focus.
Media Responsibility
Question I return to:
How should institutions communicate during crisis while maintaining both transparency and responsibility?
Current focus:
The GTV crisis highlighted how quickly institutional communication can spiral when digital platforms amplify every misstep. I'm examining frameworks for crisis communication that balance immediate response needs with long-term reputation and community trust.
Authentic Leadership
Question I return to:
What does it mean to lead authentically in digital spaces where everything is performative by default?
Current focus:
My 2025 keystone charter emerged from wrestling with this question. How do leaders maintain authenticity when every communication is potential content? Exploring the intersection of personal values, public persona, and digital leadership.
Let's Think Together
These questions evolve as I learn. If any resonate with your own explorations, I'd welcome the conversation. Some of the most meaningful insights emerge from dialogue rather than solitary thinking.
