Chapter complete 🎓💚🤍 [Un]officially 3 Degrees Hotter! 2016 — BsocSc [Economics, Demography] 2024 — MSc [Entrepreneurship, Digital Transformation] 2026 — MBA [Marketing Management, Business Analytics] Grateful always for the joys and strides

If you are reading this, it means that it is officially the last day of my postgraduate studies at the @MSUBroadCollege. I have officially completed 62 of the 61 credits required to attain my MBA, 2 months ahead of schedule. As my time at MSU comes to a close, I am joyful for one of my 'last's to be on the @TEDxMSU stage this March, sharing a talk aligned with my upcoming book series [lessonsbooks.com]. I came to MSU with two goals in mind: to learn more about business [read Entrepreneurship], and to write. I have wrecked my beautiful mind over the past two years, conquering business analytics and marketing research methods, as I on the side dissected international relations and quite the complex shared histories we have. It is my greatest joy to launch these books this coming July. Ahead of the launch of the books, I am deeply excited to deliver my first ever TEDx Talk, and I cannot think of anywhere better to do so, that at the school that has been my heart: @MichiganStateU. The theme of my talk: '𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴? 𝘐𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵? 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴? 𝘈𝘯𝘥... 𝘸𝘩𝘺?' The ambiguous questions that continue to guide everything I do.

We kicked off 2026 in Ann Arbor yesterday with the #AfricanBusinessConference at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business (@MichiganRoss). I was grateful to share the panel with Oghoghosa Igbineweka (facilitator), and inspiring professionals and fellow entrepreneurs: Ernest Danjuma Enebi, Dayo Adesanya, and Faisa Ali.

Excited to kick off the year with @UMich for the annual #AfricanBusinessConference hosted by the #AfricaBusinessClub @MichiganRoss. Small (/big) life update: I will be staying in Michigan—moving to the City of Detroit after completion of my MBA studies. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Nthanda Manduwi of @NthaFoundation makes a very compelling argument of which i agree with. Why should governments rush to regulate AI, yet they have not created or understood what it can do? youtu.be/3V5psLHdRH0?si…

In a year where funding for humanitarian work has been under great strain, 40 donors just pledged over US$300 million for 2026 towards #CERF. But what is CERF, and why should you care? Learn more about the work of @UNOCHA, and specifically @UNCERF:

Ah yes.👏🏾 A future Malawian UN Secretary General 🥳

For 20 years, @UNCERF has enabled fast, life-saving action when crises hit. In 2024, $6M from #CERF helped Malawi fight drought & build resilience. Today, food insecurity grows again. But what is CERF? With @UNOCHA, we show why emergency aid matters: bit.ly/3I3m2jY

As Ntha Foundation, we are doing our part with @KwathuFarms, to ensure—within our lifetimes—that hunger is no longer a reality for Africa. Learn more about why humanitarian support matters for food systems, climate resilience, and the future of Africa: nthafoundation.org/mw-disaster-20…

The causes combine 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲-𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀, which decimated rain-fed agriculture (upon which roughly 80% of Malawians depend), with surging commodity prices and macroeconomic stress.

In October 2025, the government of 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙬𝙞 — under President Prof. @PeterMutharika — declared a “state of disaster” for 11 of its 28 districts, responding to an assessment that projected roughly 4 million people would face acute food insecurity in 2025/26 (October–March).
