Working for our rich African heritage has been my major drive in ensuring that Africa is fully represented in the various information discourses through knowledge sharing. I was instrumental in the development of digital information systems and communication strategies for the International council of African museums (AFRICOM) especially in sharing knowledge by creating easy access to heritage information through a semblance of online tools like  websites ,blogs,social media,discussion forums and E-newsletters.

The WikiAfrica project gives me the much needed impetus in engaging the various facets in sharing knowledge and ensuring that Wikipedia is fully Africanised by ensuring our museums and cultural institutions are fully represented!

I have lived in Cape Town, South Africa, Nairobi, Kenya and am currently based in the United States
