Bukky's session with Viola was amazing not only did she shed so much light on the challenges of females in technology especially the underrepresented group, she also highlighted the opportunities in Africa.

When Viola was asked what drives her, she gave a powerful statement "the idea that someone can tell me what I can or can't do drives the reason why I am not interested in being ordinary". She is definitely not ordinary, taking on payment processing in Africa when no one thought it was possible is not a small feat. Listen and learn from one of the very top African Techpreneur changing the narratives and creating innovative solutions to disrupt the status quo.
