Founded in 2016, Jokalante focuses on digital inclusion and agriculture. It provides farmers, herders, and rural communities with tools to access technical, climate, and health information, regardless of language or literacy. The company contributes to food security and climate change adaptation through accessible educational content and digital tools. It also facilitates dialogue between field actors and experts.

Jokalante developed a multichannel platform integrating several solutions. It broadcasts voice messages and SMS in Wolof, Serer, Pulaar, Diola, Mandinka, French, and English for wide dissemination to rural populations. It also offers an interactive voice response service for phone access to advice without an internet connection.

Users can ask questions, report difficulties, or share observations through the platform, which strengthens awareness efforts. Since 2024, Jokalante has deployed Nafoore, a voice chatbot powered by generative artificial intelligence that adapts responses based on weather, soil type, or crops.

Kebe also owns Caman, a vocational training organization launched in 2018. She earned a master's degree in education and adult training from the University of Lille in 2013.

She began her professional career in 2008 as a local accounting manager at the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie. In 2014, she became an e-learning project manager at the Institut universitaire de technologie et de commerce (ITECOM) in Senegal. Between 2014 and 2015, she worked as an instructional designer at the Virtual University of Senegal.
