Dear Lillian, I was so excited to hear that you've been appointed to TikTok's Safety Advisory Council for Sub-Saharan Africa! This is a huge accomplishment, and it's a testament to your expertise and dedication to youth safety. The council's work is incredibly important, and I'm confident that your contributions will make a significant difference in creating a safer and more positive online environment for young people in Africa. I know the task ahead is challenging, but I have no doubt that you and the other council members are up to the task. I'm here to support your efforts in any way I can. Congratulations again, Lillian! Stay happy, Mutheu. On Fri, Aug 23, 2024 at 4:05 PM Victor Kapiyo via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
