I want to work in a team

A proper team where we have brainstorming sessions, sharing crazy ideas & everyone is excited to get results.

[Elly👨‍🎨 @ Reconnect Studio @ellythedesigner]

you will know design is hard when you try to design a product that you can’t find reference to on the internet

[Dylan O'Sullivan @DylanoA4]

At no point in human history have we been subjected to so much life advice from complete strangers, be very careful about whose words you take to heart, they're selling their path and know nothing of yours

I don’t think she needs a “rich man”
She’s a freakin billionaire in all currency .
She’s a wife and a mother of three. This is what motherhood can look like, especially after childbirth.

People expect new mums to immediately snap back but real life doesn’t work that way. Her body has done a lot give her grace.

[Iju Taiga, Omo Ekun🐅 @BigBadReni]

Also a lot of these valentine packages are simply not giving.

They are mundane, pedestrian, and do not evoke nothing.

The same cheap masks, weak perfumes, maybe dove body wash, cheap chocolate and too much stray sweets.

Sorry.

AN URGENT APPEAL TO THE X COMMUNITY: Help My Sister Marycynthia Win Her Battle Against Lymphoma

​This is the part of life that nothing prepares you for. One day you are healthy, strong, and full of dreams; the next, everything changes because of a few signs on your body. ​My sister, Marycynthia, and I are just two young women trying to find our way in the world. I am a 25 year old graduate, and she is a 23 year old student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN). Marycynthia has always been the brilliant one, my parents rarely had to pay her school fees because she constantly won scholarships. Even from her hospital bed, she was recently awarded another scholarship sponsored by NNPC. She was supposed to resume this January as a 400-level Law student, but this illness has already taken two years of her life. ​I am reaching out to ask for financial assistance for her treatment. For those who know the medical reality, chemotherapy alone is often not a permanent solution for advanced-stage cancer. She was being managed by the Haematology department at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) before the NARD strike worsened our situation. Now, her best chance at survival is a Bone Marrow Transplant. Despite having anemia, low neutrophil and platelet counts, her kidney and liver functions remain stable. This shows that while her situation is critical, it is not hopeless.
We have been recommended to a hospital in Benin. The cost for the transplant is ₦45,000,000. We don't know for sure how many courses of chemotherapy she is going to receive, scans (PET, CT, ultrasound), concentrated platelets, neutropenia care, transfusions, and private hospital bills, we summed a total of ₦62,000,000 ($44,000).

At first, I felt like my world was crashing. The amount is overwhelming. But thanks to the support of friends and kind-hearted strangers, we have raised ₦18,400,000 ($12,900) so far, which allowed her to begin chemotherapy.
No one can watch their loved one waste away without doing everything possible. I am here again soliciting your support. Balancing her care and fundraising has not been easy for me, I need your help. We still need roughly ₦44,000,000 ($31,780) for the bone marrow transplant.
From one Nigerian to another, one African to another, and one human to another: please help my sister survive Lymphoma. It is treatable if the right care is given.

Help Marycynthia survive cancer!
Tell someone about Marycynthia today!
Keep Marycynthia in your thoughts and prayers!

Technology doesn’t fail because it’s complex.

It fails when people don’t trust it.

I spoke on @TechnyFire about what happens when public systems meet real people, now live on YouTube.
