My work and passion focuses on a range of issues related to Technology, Entrepreneurship & Startups, African Ingenuity, Gender, Human Rights and Freedom of Expression with special emphasis on the Sub-Saharan African region.
As of April, 2010; I assumed the role of Regional Editor – Africa on Future Challenges by the Bertelsmann Foundation in Gutersloh, Germany.
I’m an active author with Global Voices Online; where I aggregate & research on feeds from citizen media from the Sub-Saharan Region. I’m also a member of BloggingGhana; (a vibrant community of Pro-bloggers with passion for Ghanaian contents).
I have written for and been featured in numerous publications, including The CS Monitor, NY Times and Future Challenges. I currently write for Global Voices Online. A selection of my published writing can be found here.
I regularly speak at conferences, workshops and seminars on topics I’m very passionate about. In the past year, this has included TEDx Youth Inspire, BarCamp Ghana, Knight Digital Media Center @ UC Berkeley, California and others. If you would like to invite me to speak, attend or be interviewed, you can e-mail me at macjordan.degadjor [at] gmail.com
I hope to put common discourse in question and incite discussion on how the continent can move forward. Through dialogue there can be a change.

To be honest, I don’t value Valentine’s Day. I see the day just as a normal day, hence no significance to me. Maybe it’s a day to value, but love should exist every day. It is important that we value the people we love on a daily basis, especially in our society, where there is so much abuse and hurt.Oh Canana says:
I look forward to any day that allows me to show my loved ones how special they are and how much I appreciate them. Days like Valentine's day allow me to tell them that despite all the challenges of life and our hectic schedules, I dedicate this "Thursday" to them. I have nothing to loose by bringing a little joy to the face of a loved one that I may not have had time to appreciate recently.Africa's Mobile Technological Revolution In Numbers says:
