All over the world, 2020 was perceived as the year of COVID-19 pandemic. Africa was not left out, as most countries, especially Nigeria, had to deal with a lot more than the pandemic, but also the EndSars protest against police brutality. There was also political and tribal unrest in Ethiopia, unstable presidential elections in Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana, while Uganda also witnessed unrest.
This is why a shift towards the positives, especially amongst enterprising women of innovation and perseverance was a breathable relief, as Kamala Harris became the first woman, first Black, and the first Asian American Vice President of the United States Of America (USA).
