My passion is youth and women empowerment. When I see women thriving, I believe the future can be built. Through this program, I am contributing to the development of the country by training young women to become independent,\u201d Gaye said.<\/p>\n<p>She emphasized the role of technology and creativity in education. \u201cInnovation is a daily process. If you want to grow, you have to learn and share. This cultural exchange is fundamental because it paves the way to learn new ideas,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Ladosha Wright, author and cosmetologist, highlighted her mission to teach students about Afro hair science. \u201cWe are here to equip students with problem-solving skills for hair-related challenges. This will boost their self-esteem and advance their careers. Considering the population of The Gambia and its unique hair types, there is a strong demand for this education,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Wright also reflected on the historical context of the slave trade, stressing the importance of coming together to elevate the field of cosmetology. She thanked the Academy\u2019s management for their support and encouraged students to remain consultative and open-minded.<\/p>\n<p>Another speaker, Julanda Zachary, reinforced the importance of youth skills development, commending the Academy for its commitment to nurturing talented young women.<\/p>\n<p>The Textures Intercultural Exchange initiative is expected to strengthen empowerment, education, and cultural appreciation, particularly within the beauty and creative industries, positioning young Gambian women for a brighter future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
