What happens when you finally get the opportunity you have been preparing for, but you are not ready to face the interview?
At the SheBuilds AI Fellowship, we are preparing our fellows for more than technical skills.

Happy Democracy Day.
On 12 June 1993, Nigerians voted in a presidential election widely judged the freest the country had held. It was annulled, and no official result was ever declared. That annulment is why Democracy Day falls on 12 June.
Between elections, democracy looks like asking where your local government's money went, or checking a claim before you pass it on. Voting is the part with a deadline, and this year it's 10 July.
INEC's Continuous Voter Registration closes that day. If you've turned 18, never registered, moved, lost your PVC, or need to correct your details, register before then.
You start online at cvr.inecnigeria.org, then finish in person at your INEC state or LGA office (weekdays, 9am–3pm). Centres get busier as the deadline nears, so do the online step now rather than in the first week of July.

💬« Le jour de l'élection, de nombreux messages confus circulaient sur les résultats et les violences. J'ai utilisé le chatbot pour vérifier ce qui était vrai avant de partager quoi que ce soit. Il m'a aidé à éviter de propager la panique. », Esther Ngono (South Region – Ebolowa)
💬« Le fait que l'outil fonctionne sur WhatsApp l'a rendu très accessible. Je n'avais rien à télécharger. J'ai vérifié plusieurs informations pendant l'élection et partagé les réponses avec mes amis. », Thomas Fokou (West Region – Bafoussam)
Deux témoignages parmi d'autres, venus du terrain camerounais 🇨🇲.
