My newly acquired knowledge and skills permitted me to engage the Cameroon Community Media Network, with over 300 members in all 10 regions to run online campaigns against hatespeech, misinformation and fake news. Other organizations and associations I am involved with have also benefited, as well as invitations to share my know-how from external institutions.
