"I have worked in the media for a while, however I have a passion for Community media as I believe that the African people can be empowered through media (especially radio) to solve their own problems. I would like to get good and creative (to improve on what is already in practice) ideas on how to make that happen so that it can be relevant to myself and my people. I believe that this is an apt avenue to get such an inspiration."

"I have worked in the field of Television production for over 20 years now producing programmes of all genre and meeting different kinds of people including travelling accross borders. Having worked for children earlier on and now concentrating on current affairs, i believe that Telelvison is the effective medium for transformation except that it is fairly expensive and unattainable by the very people who need it most. This link will definately keep me updated on all matters current hence ensure that i relay the same to my audience. as a scholar of mass communication, the information here will be shared far and wide. Through professional networks and associations like the international association of women in radio and telelvision on whose board i sit, we have been able to create professional networks that encourage borrowing of good practices."
