After a while of being heads-down building, I'm back on here. 4+ years in Web3 across Africa — exchanges, ecosystems, BD, and a lot of hard lessons. What to expect from me: sharp takes on Web3, Africa's role in the next wave of adoption, and what's actually working on the ground.

Proximity to the market is not the same as proximity to the microphone. That gap is closing. But it needs to close faster.

They have never sat in a Lagos trading community at 11pm watching volume move in real time. Meanwhile the operator who has done it, built the community, moved the volume, navigated the regulation on the ground is posting to 400 followers and getting 12 likes.

The loudest voices on African Web3 are rarely the ones closest to the market. The most followed accounts talking about Africa crypto are often based in London, New York, or San Francisco. They cite the same three reports. #Web3Africa #CryptoAfrica #BlockchainAfrica

May starts today. Going deeper. More specific. More direct about what I am building and what I am looking for. If Web3 in Africa is in your world, professionally or personally, follow along. The conversation is getting more interesting from here.

Trust on social media is not built in a day. It is built in the accumulation of days.

I posted every day for 30 days about Web3 and Africa. Here is what it taught me about the narrative — and why most of the world is still telling the wrong story. 🧵 #Web3Africa #BlockchainAfrica #Web3

This week, I’m dropping a 1-hour conversation with @SarahWahinya, East Africa President @StellarOrg @BuildOnStellar Sarah is a Web3 and fintech growth strategist driving the expansion of emerging technologies across Africa. She discovered crypto in 2020, started trading, and turned $100 into $7000. That curiosity led her deeper into the technology, and she hasn’t looked back since. She’s now one of the key ecosystem leaders in Kenya. In this episode, we talk about: * Growing up as a first daughter and the responsibility that comes with it * Building trust as a foundation for meaningful work * Her journey from airport operations into crypto * Driving adoption as East Africa Lead for Stellar and the impact so far * A playbook for building cult-like communities * Her love for football, owning a local football club and plans to build a football academy * Building businesses that sustain your lifestyle (including her farm/ranch in Kenya) And a lot more. Podcast out this week!
