Unit #47. Smelled like dust and old wood.
Inside: 84 paintings. All mine.
Every piece I ever posted online. Printed. Framed.

The first one: My senior thesis. Sold for $60 on Craigslist.
Dad bought it. Dated 2014. $60 sticker still on back.
Next to it: My mural of the city skyline.
He paid the building owner $2,000 to keep it up when they tried to paint over it.

Box under the table. Receipts.
$120 here. $400 there. $2,000 once.
11 years of “anonymous buyers” for my art.
It was him. Every time.

Last receipt, dated 2 weeks before he died:
My latest piece. $3,800. “Keep going, son.”
He never learned my new number.
So he bought my art instead.

I sat on that concrete floor and screamed.
Not because he was gone.
Because he was watching the whole time.

He couldn’t say “I’m proud of you.”
So he said it with $38,000 in quiet.

I’m an artist. I’m not broke anymore.
But I’d trade every dollar to hear him say it once.

Tell your people you’re proud.
Don’t make them find out in a storage unit.

Lithium-ion batteries are central to modern life. But in Ethiopia, and across Africa, their second life is rarely planned for.

That is the gap Inter Ethiopia Solutions is trying to close. The startup collects used lithium-ion batteries, tests them cell by cell, grades them, and rebuilds viable ones.

The refurbished batteries are then used to produce solar home systems and energy storage solutions. So far, the company has refurbished more than 3,500 solar home systems and collected over 45 tons of solar and battery e-waste.
