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.

The 8-member council comprises experts in youth safety, free expression, and hate speech from various fields, including policymakers, academics, NGOs, and community leaders.

Among them is Lillian Kariuki from Watoto Watch Network who is a Lister here. Congratulations Lillian!

The council will collaborate with TikTok in shaping policies, product features, and safety processes to address evolving challenges.

The Council and TikTok's #SaferTogether campaign were launched yesterday. The campaign aims to encourage community engagement in understanding and following platform guidelines and safety features.
