What an amazing and empowering day yesterday was! From the bottom of my heart—THANK YOU.
Sometimes I forget just how powerful it is to bring together people with the same energy, mindset, passion, and mission… and yesterday was a beautiful reminder.
Every suggestion shared is truly appreciated, and I’m so excited to show you how I’ll be putting it all into action.
To everyone who donated—your support will have a bigger impact than you can imagine. I don’t take any of it for granted. And to those who couldn’t attend but still poured into , thank you just as much.
Special shoutout to our advisory board member Gitzell Fairtrade International Zellipah Githui for sharing her resilience, vision, and journey with us in such a powerful way.
And of course our fellow member owner of Jenny’s Diner for hosting us!
With love,
Annie 🤍

The future of Africa will be shaped by investment rather than aid

Foreign investors and African capitalists are increasingly investing in Africa's infrastructure, minerals and businesses, driven by demographic growth and improved market integration.

I know that’s right :)

A new report shows that wealth does not necessarily equate to better mental health, with young people in Africa outperforming those in wealthier countries.

Youth in high-income countries like the UK, New Zealand, and Japan have lower mental health scores compared to those in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) measures emotional, cognitive, social, and resilience aspects, with global averages indicating a decline in youth mental health in affluent nations.

Key factors affecting youth mental health include family relationships, spirituality, early smartphone usage, and ultra-processed food consumption.
