In this Project Onboarding session for Coherence 2025, Popoola Olajide Fatai (founder of MHK Creative Company) shares a bold, community-rooted vision for AI education, regenerative economics, and youth empowerment in Africa.
MHK is not just a company — it’s a growing movement to equip African students with the tools, networks, and mentorship to use AI and emerging technologies for real-world impact. From running a Pan-African "AI in Campus" solutions summit to designing a “Human Currency” model based on skill-sharing and mentorship, Popoola outlines how this initiative blends education, storytelling, and systems change.
Topics explored:
🔹 MHK as a movement: from organizational structure to pan-African community
🔹 The AI in Campus event series: fostering innovation through student-led solutions
🔹 Two-stage design: the “Economy” phase (building community) and “Governance” phase (local engagement & adoption)
🔹 How Coherence can support matchmaking between student innovators and global mentors
🔹 Human Currency: a documentary and collaborative initiative to pair mentees with legacy-minded professionals
🔹 Why streaming platforms like Netflix may offer better reach than building an app
🔹 Building a platform to manage innovation submissions and mentor relationships
🔹 Coherence as a modular layer that could plug into existing workflows like MHK’s
🔹 The importance of legacy, intergenerational exchange, and values-based mentorship
✨ If you're a mentor, educator, funder, or technologist passionate about skill-based regenerative education and African innovation — this is a conversation to watch.
