NEW YORK - Nyenta -- NKENNE, the groundbreaking language learning app dedicated to preserving and teaching African languages, has been honored by Apple's Editorial team as one of the standout apps featured in this year's "Celebrate Black Developers" section of the App Store. This recognition highlights NKENNE's innovative approach to language education and its commitment to celebrating African culture and heritage through technology.
The "Celebrate Black Developers" feature is part of Apple's ongoing efforts to amplify the voices and contributions of Black developers worldwide. By showcasing NKENNE alongside other exceptional apps created by Black developers, Apple underscores the importance of diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.
NKENNE, founded by Michael Odokara-Okigbo, was created to address the urgent need for preserving African languages, many of which are at risk of being lost. The app offers interactive lessons, cultural insights, and community-driven content to help users learn languages such as Igbo, Yoruba, Swahili, and more. Its mission is to empower the African diaspora and language enthusiasts to connect with their roots and foster cultural understanding.
