In the United States, we view our computers, phones, internet access, and Wi-Fi as everyday necessities. But for many other countries around the world, that isn’t the case. It can be difficult for people to access the internet and find work, leading to many underrepresented voices in the creative design world. Ronnie Coleman decided to change that.

After immigrating to America from Ghana when he was 19, Ronnie worked at various agencies before starting his own: Meaningful Gigs. Ronnie’s passion lies in giving a platform for African designers to find specialized work in multiple industries, and his company is on track to create 100,000 specialized jobs for African designers by 2028.
