In a region where many young people believe getting ahead means luck, connections, or waiting for their “big break,” this episode reframes the narrative.

“Getting Ahead” explores the real path to progress in Sub-Saharan Africa: digital learning, accessible skills, and self-empowerment.

The animation highlights the growing opportunities in tech, digital creativity, online education, and remote work — showing viewers that the next step forward is already within reach.
