The APSA Alumni Network is proud to launch our online personal and professional development focused webinars to continue the life-long learning that is fundamental to our study abroad experiences while bringing together our vibrant community of over 400 young global citizens.
Join APSA's latest LinkedIn Mentor, Miatta Momoh, who will share her own experience in mentorship and explain how her mentorship misconceptions were practically fixed.
Oxford Dictionary's definition states that, mentorship is the guidance provided by a mentor, especially an experienced person in a company or educational institution. Miatta believes, Mentorship can also be found "Peer to Peer", where the most important thing is structured guidance, that develops you and holds you accountable in a valued relationship.
"Community connecting" and "Community building" are phrases used all over online communities like LinkedIn, but how can these interactions lead to better impact in our lives? How can you utilize opportunities like gaining a Mentor or being a Mentor yourself?
Don't miss the answers and a chance to have your questions answered too. Join the live webinar discussion.

Content is King. After successfully delivering hundreds of international online and offline marketing campaigns for global leading Automotive, Technology and Lifestyle brands in London, China has now provided a new dynamic diaspora experience. As Beijing hosts the world - daily connections with progressive global citizens, a vibrant culture and an exciting emerging economy, creates the right conditions to thrive. Community is a source of strength. Miatta takes passion in engaging with different Beijing communities and delights in being a source of support.
Since studying abroad in August 2016, she has already managed content and marketing for a range of small ground-breaking Start-ups and big bold enterprises based in Beijing. This gives her an insightful perspective, for captivating Chinese and International audiences with the right ideas. She is interested in sustainable development in Africa-China agribusiness alliances and driving great social impact in and around these cross-cultural relations.
She serves as Business Development Manager, for China’s first-ever Africa Week, which saw hundreds of Chinese and expat communities come together to celebrate African culture in Beijing. This culminated in China’s first African Start-up competition, where all profits from the week were rewarded to a Ghanaian Accessories Start-up. Kente & Silk’s Africa Week will return bigger and better in May 2019. Her Africa-China Story has been a miraculous adventure and it continues.Jennifer De Rose
