“Young Africans are already a significant human resource for the world. We often discuss unemployment as a problem in Africa, leading to a brain drain where young people migrate to the West. When there are a lot of young people, they end up not playing the role they would want in society, which could even influence the political dynamics of their communities,” she told Sputnik Africa.
“Leaving the continent is not going to solve our problems. Right now, what's affecting us as young people and hindering our continent's growth is that we are leaving and not addressing the problems head-on,” she underlined, adding that Africa “cannot always rely on policymakers or governments to change the lives of young people.”
“We need them collaborating country by country. There is always a need for brainstorming among young activists on the continent about how we can gather resources to push our activism forward,” Kujeke noted.
“The beautiful part of activism is service. It is a service not only for yourself but for those around you. The beauty of it is you get to live out your passion every day. You are out there bringing attention to something that you know will change not only your life but the life of your community,” she underlined.
