Who We Are

Pioneering Women's Leadership in AI

Divas in AI is a growing community committed to increasing women's participation, visibility, and leadership in artificial intelligence across Africa through research, training, and practice. Across the world, women remain significantly underrepresented in tech, making up only 22% of the global AI workforce. In many technical spaces, female participation often ranges between 20–30% due to broader structural barriers and limited access to supportive learning environments.We exist to directly challenge and close that gender gap. We provide women and girls with the cutting-edge technical expertise, confidence, and supportive sisterhood needed to thrive in data science, machine learning, and AI policy. Our ultimate mission is to train 5,000 women in AI by 2030, equipping them with essential leadership skills to become powerful decision-makers and innovators in the modern tech landscape.

Our Purpose

Bridging the Gender Gap in Emerging Technologies

Divas in AI exists to change that narrative by creating intentional programs, supportive communities, and learning opportunities to close the gender gap and ensure African women are included in building the technologies shaping the future.

Our Mission

Training 5,000 Women in AI by 2030

To enable women to move beyond learning concepts to actively design, build, and  deploy AI solutions. Through project labs, mentorship, innovation challenges, and  collaborative programs, we support women in transforming their AI knowledge into  working prototypes, impactful research, and meaningful careers in the AI  ecosystem. 

Our Vision

Transforming AI Knowledge into Impact

Our mission is to equip women with the skills, opportunities, and a collaborative  environment to apply AI to real-world challenges. We emphasize hands-on skill  development, technical experimentation, and applied AI research. We aim to train 5,000 women in AI by 2030 through flagship programs, mentorship,  practical training, research engagement, and career development opportunities. 


Why This Matters

Across the world, women remain significantly underrepresented in artificial intelligence  and technology fields. In many AI events and technical spaces, female participation often  ranges between 20–30%, reflecting broader structural barriers including limited access to  mentorship, technical exposure, and supportive learning environments. 
Divas in AI exists to change that narrative by creating intentional programs, supportive  communities, and learning opportunities to close the gender gap and ensure African women  are included in building the technologies shaping the future.
