They discuss how mobile is slowly becoming the default in Nigeria, and how that works with large variations in digital skill levels. They also explore how content is usually produced and communicated in a country with over 500 local languages.
Kat tells us about their UX writing program, UX Content Champ, and their goal of wanting to expand digital education for young people. They also celebrate the success of the recent content design conference in Nigeria, run by UX writers Africa, which was attended by a wide range of people working in different digital roles.
Sarah and Kat touch on why community is important, how it lets content designers share opportunities and support each other.
