Africa provided memebers with guidance on owning one's voice by avoiding the censorship of messages and how to maintain your true identity and personality when communicating.
Self-Awareness: Workshop participants learned the significance of self-awareness in communication and the importance of understanding what works and what doesn't in their communication style.
Overcoming Self-Censorship: Africa addressed the reasons people often suppress their voices and explained the value of authenticity when using one's voice.
