Giving out this Monitor to a Kenyan STUDENT or INTERN who can quickly share something great they built.
They should be in Tech and preferably a Tech Bro 😎.
This is the HP E243 monitor. This is an affordable monitor and therefore no extreme criteria will be used.
Quick question for data beginners:
What’s ONE tool you’re scared of learning right now?
(Python, Power BI, Advanced SQL, etc.)
Reply with it.
I’ll create simple beginner content for the most requested ones this week.
Let’s remove the fear together
#DataAnalysis#PowerBI
SQL Tip for beginners:
Never use SELECT * in real projects!
Instead:
SELECT CustomerName, OrderDate, Amount
FROM Orders
WHERE Amount > 5000;
Clean and specific = faster queries + better portfolio projects.

#SQLTips#DataAnalysis
Power BI hack most beginners sleep on:
Use the 'Drill through' feature instead of creating 10 different pages.
One report → multiple detailed views.
Saves time and makes you look pro.

A thread 🧵👇
The Only Power BI Skills You Need To Land Your First Job📊
The Learning Trap:
Many beginners waste time:
• Watching long tutorials without practice
• Obsessing over advanced DAX
• Avoiding projects due to “not ready yet” mindset
• Ignoring design and storytelling
Reality Check:
For entry-level Power BI roles, focus on these key skills:
1. Data Loading & Transformation
- Import from Excel, SQL, web, etc.
- Use Power Query for cleaning: remove nulls, split columns, filter data
2. Data Modeling
- Create relationships (1:many, many:1)
- Understand star schema basics
- Set correct data types and table roles
3. Basic DAX Functions
- `SUM`, `AVERAGE`, `COUNTROWS`
- `CALCULATE`, `FILTER`
- `IF`, `SWITCH`, `RELATED`
4. Visualizations
- Use bar, line, pie, card, slicer
- Create drill-down and tooltip features
- Format visuals cleanly (colors, alignment, consistency)
5. Interactivity & Filters
- Use slicers, filters, bookmarks
- Enable drill-through to detail pages
6. Publishing & Sharing
- Publish to Power BI Service
- Schedule data refresh
- Manage workspaces and permissions
7. Business Context
- Focus on KPIs, trends, and insights
- Tell a clear data story with your report
Final Tip:
Build 2 real-world projects (e.g., Sales Dashboard, HR Analytics) — that’s what hiring managers want to see.
I built something and I'm giving it away for free.

I built this because the question I get most is "where do I start?"

However, it's NIGHT SHIFT💔.
Rwanda keeps showing most of Africa what it refuses to try.
Most people think brick means red. Brown. The colour of laterite and fired earth. That’s all we imagine when someone says “build with local materials.”
This is African Leadership University, Kigali. The brick is pale. Almost cream. Still clay, still local, made in Muhanga, 1.5 hours from the site, fired in coffee-husk-powered kilns. Same earth, different result. Rwanda didn’t abandon local material for aesthetics. They refined it.
The structure underneath is compressed stabilized earth blocks fabricated on site. Six terraced levels down a 40-metre hillside. No air conditioning in most of the building. Shaded corridors and natural ventilation handle Kigali’s climate. An 1,800 cubic metre stormwater pond manages the rain. The hill, the wind, the earth, all doing structural and environmental work.
Furniture made on site. Lighting made on site. Signage, lockers, benches, all local fabrication. Rwanda didn’t just use local material for the walls. They used local hands for everything inside.
This is not an exception. This is a pattern. And the buildings speak for themselves.
