CommunityWWW.MSINGIAFRIKAMAGAZINE.COM | we tell the true afrikan story 48And they made me human.That same empathy now sits at the heart of everything we do at Aproko Doctor.Whether we%u2019re teaching someone how to manage hypertension in simple, local terms%u2026Or helping them catch early signs of disease through a video that feels more like gist than a lecture. And when we built AwaDoc, that same childhood empathy followed us into product design.Because we didn%u2019t just want to build %u201ca smart AI health assistant.%u201dWe wanted to build something that felt human.Something that didn%u2019t just diagnose, but listened.That didn%u2019t ask you to type perfect grammar before you could be taken seriously.Something that understood where you were coming from, because we%u2019d come from there too.So yes, my childhood was hard.But maybe that%u2019s what gave me the heart for this work.Because sometimes, what looks like survival%u2026ends up being the first step in service.In conclusionI was particularly captivated by the last statement, which says: what looks like survival%u2026ends up being the first step in service.Africa does not need more aid from sneaky foreign governments and spy agencies called NGOs. Africa needs more people with genuine hearts, passion, and faithfulness to what they have been blessed with. Within all of our pains and poverty are pathways and opportunities to help us remember what it means to be human and what it means to stand for the community that we have been blessed with.Africa does not need more certificates, more degrees, or more false narratives about how mighty and grandiose Western or European civilization is. Africans need MEMORIES. We need to remember what it means to be Africans and then be faithful to that meaning. And for every true and faithful hero out there, we see you. May your good seeds bear great harvests in due time.
