She came for knowledge and left with a vision. Jessica Oparebea joined our 2024 summer cohort in Kigali ready to learn, and emerged ready to lead. As we prepare for Zambia this year, we’re reminded that every story starts with a moment like this. Below is her impact story.

Academia or industry? Can I do both? At TReND in Africa, the real learning happens beyond classrooms; over coffee, in deep conversations. Last year, Prof. Kim Stachenfeld (neurokim.bsky.social) from Google DeepMind & Columbia University University inspired many. Next stop: Zambia 2025 The University Of Zambia Are you ready?
