Everywhere I look, itโs "stop using pads. How do I say that to my 11 year old cousin? She's just a beginner for God's sake and is still learning her body. Pads are the easiest, least scary option. Expecting her to jump straight to tampons or cups is just heartbreaking. God please
@ibo_successful Grief is so hard.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Please don't try to force yourself to be strong. Take it one moment and one step at a time.
Sending hugs ๐ซ
May God comfort you
Cofounder from Nigeria building Jercel
Weโre working on continuous methane monitoring and compliance infrastructure for African oil & gas operators.
Still early, figuring things out, talking to people, building in public.
Always happy to connect with other founders/builders ๐๐พ
Everyone owns skincare products, but nobody knows what's actually working.
Today, @theantheaguo and I launch @lumeriaskin (YC S26) to end that.
The Lumoscope is a multispectral camera that clips onto your phone and scans your skin at home with the same light used in clinics, so you see what a mirror can't: a breakout days before it surfaces, and sun damage years before it shows.
Every scan is scored on hydration, redness, texture, and sebum, and it compounds into a record of your own skin. Lumi reads that history, connects flare-ups to causes you'd never suspect, and matches products to YOUR data, instead of a population average.
Preorders are officially open today at $199 only until Aug 16th. Starting today, skincare will no longer feel like guessing. โ๏ธ
Easy now Aleph, While stablecoins have become vital financial infrastructure for everyday Nigerians, oil remains the overwhelming macroeconomic backbone of the country. When USDT starts funding monthly FAAC allocations to all 36 states, come back and tag me.
One thing I've learnt is that a founder's job is sometimes to hold two thoughts at the same time. Somewhere between "this will work.โ and "I have absolutely no idea how we're going to get there yet.โ
You need enough belief to continue.
And enough humility to keep learning.
