The last 30 days have been nothing short of amazing. I have traveled to 7 African countries, spoken to some of the most audacious, intentional founders on earth, building with growth and expansion in mind for Africa.

This has been a road trip filled with so much experience I can't wait to share, really, the sweet, the bitter, and the humour. Africa gives it to you all.

POV: YOU’RE IN YOUR SECOND FRANCOPHONE COUNTRY 🇹🇬

[Queen • Brand Strategy & Marketing Psychology @QueenetWrites]

Somewhere in Benue State, there’s a child who wants to learn.

But there are no books because they can’t afford them. In their free time, they glance at walls where we envision her future shining through.

A wall where we dream of putting up a shelf, filled with books. You know why?

Because we understand the danger of a mind staying empty for too long. When that happens, something else moves in.

That’s why we can’t wait.

We launch April 30. We’re at 25% and over 100 books. Something is moving, and you need to be part of it.

This is not a project. It’s a movement. And movements don’t wait.

Your support might feel small to you. To her, it could be everything.

Don’t be on the wrong side of this one.

When I told my CDS group we were going to build a library for a school, they kicked against it because we had MINUS ₦13,000 in our purse. It felt impossible to them, so they shut it down.

But I couldn’t let it go. Sadly, my service time was coming to an end, so I couldn't do a personal project. And that was why I insisted on setting the standard for my CDS group.

I found a small school owned by a foundation. The school used to be free but started to struggle after a fire destroyed most of its buildings.

They were forced to charge fees, and the proprietor began to sell her personal belongings to run the school.

Yet many of the children were orphans and internally displaced, so not everyone could afford it.

The classrooms were broken, the environment wasn't ideal, but you need to see the eyes of these children. The light behind their eyes was everything.

Even then, most of my CDS group members resisted. They said the school was too dilapidated and that they didn't need a library.

I argued that if a school doesn't NEED a library, then the children don't need books. I had so much faith in the library despite the resistance.

So, I backed my faith up with actions. I wrote proposals, built pitch decks, designed ideas, trying to make them see what I saw.

Then everything stopped. Our CDS group got suspended. And for a moment, I felt crushed. I can't even paint how devastated I felt. So, I gave up.

But not for long.

I picked myself back up and continued alone with the present president and secretary of the CDS group. We continued our offline campaign, talking to people wherever I could. That’s how I ended up at an event I almost didn’t attend.

Afterward, I walked up to some top executives. I started a conversation, then slowly brought up the library idea. They listened, really listened, and were impressed with the project.

I got their contact, and one of them asked to see the school.

When I took him there, the broken roof from the recent storm told its own story, the torn-down walls, the cramped classes, the unsafe benches. My God.

There was no need for persuasion. He saw it, and he was moved. Then he said he would help repair the roof and ensure that the children are comfortable.

I quickly got a carpenter and broke down everything needed: roof, ceiling, desks, a new classroom. I wrote a proposal for the cost and divided it into two parts.

Part 1 included the cost of only the roof and windows, which came to about ₦170,000+.

In Part 2, I included things the school would need that he didn't specifically say he would help with, and the total came up to ₦808,000.

The next day, I didn’t wait. I took the company bus straight to his office with a printout of the cost.

By the end of it all, this man donated ₦808,000 for the renovation.

I just sat there in shock. It was the biggest support I had ever received for this work.

And somehow, it felt like more than money. It felt like proof that persistence speaks, even when everything around you says stop.

Now we’re set to establish two libraries, and renovations have already begun.

April didn’t give me ease. But it gave me this.

On to May. 🥂
