In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde sits down with Damilola "Dammy" Gbenro, a Data Analytics and Machine Learning professional and talked about what it really means to build and maintain an online presence in the age of algorithms and AI. How do you utilize the benefits of social media without letting it consume you? What does online safety look like when your life is also your brand? And as AI reshapes trust, attention, and creativity, how do we protect our identities and our peace?

Quick question: when you buy something handmade, do you ever wonder who made it, and where your money really goes? Lembrih is building a marketplace where you can shop Black and African-owned brands and learn the story behind the craft. And the impact is built in: buyers can support vendors directly, and Lembrih also gives back through African-led charities, including $1 per purchase. They’re crowdfunding on Kickstarter now. Back Lembrih at lembrih.com, or search “Lembrih” on Kickstarter.
