Before, I was learning about AI mostly in the corners. The Indaba connected me to a vibrant pan-African community of researchers and practitioners. It wasn't just about the advanced courses; it was the encouragement from mentors and peers that was truly transformative. This experience gave me the confidence to pursue my own research, knowing I was part of a supportive network dedicated to shaping the future of AI in Africa. The Indaba is more than a conference; it's a community that inspires and empowers.<\/span><br data-start=\"513\" data-end=\"516\" \/><em data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"553\"><\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>Abraham Imani Bahati, AI Engineer<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_slide_1 et_pb_slide et_pb_media_alignment_center et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_text_align_center\" data-slide-id=\"divi\/slide-1\"><div class=\"et_pb_container\"><div class=\"et_pb_slider_container_inner\"><div class=\"et_pb_slide_description\"><div class=\"et_pb_slide_content\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What stood out most was the sense of belonging , seeing so many talented Africans in one space was inspiring and encouraging.
