By Erica Phillips
Toronto’s Warren Salmon beams us back to the past with Afrocentric
software, and into the future by encouraging our young people to pursue
high-tech careers.
“It’s not only important that we have access to the technology” says
Salmon, 34 “It’s also important that content include input
from people of African descent.” Ashaware, his educational software
for children and adults, fits the bill by teaching language arts, science
and math while highlighting African, Black-Canadian and African-American
contributions to the world. Feedback from the entrepreneur’s
9-year-old daughter and “special assistant” helped shape
the software. Its title shares his daughter’s middle name, Asha--from
a West African word for life.
