1. i used part of my stipend as a graduate student here in the U.S. to lay the foundation for a crop and livestock breeding and research center in Aboabo (ER, Ghana). this project reflects my vision to create sustainable agribusiness investments and employment opportunities for young people.
1a. i put together a trusted team of young professionals, including a lawyer, an accountant, an agriculturist, a project manager, and a personal assistant, to oversee this project.
2. i am currently experimenting with extracting high-quality organic oil and producing a clean, cosmetic-grade product from fruit waste. a hydraulic press machine has been custom-built in partnership with a local metal fabricator.
2a. we have conducted several trials, and so far, the critical barrier is that the process has only yielded juices and a black crude oil.
i reached out to a research center in ghana for help refining the black oil, but I was told they only support funded projects — and now I am stuck.
a REPOST to help me connect with experts in the following fields would be greatly appreciated:
1. food technology (oil extraction & refining)
2. chemical engineering (process optimization & extraction methods)
3. lipid chemistry / biochemistry (oil composition & purification)
working with my team at 3farmate has shaped my agri-engineering acumen and empowered me to initiate personal projects that develop solutions benefiting both communities and industries.
GOD BLESS MY HOMELAND, GHANA 🇬🇭
This is the best thing I’ve read in a long time.
“Accra is full of unremarkable women who are doing extraordinary things in the unlit hours, and if you are not paying the right kind of attention you will walk past all of them on your way to somewhere you think matters more”
Passed by a hemp store billboard while driving with my 90 year old gran. Why did I hear a Sean Paul drawl “legalize it it’s time to recognize it”?! Ma’am?!!! This is why she’s not in senior living 😂😂
I have decided to quote as many movies as I can in ordinary life, or speak like a movie character as much as I can get away with. Never thought I could top my own insufferable pedantry but alas! Here we are.
Tonight for the first time I truly understood the phrase between the devil and the deep blue sea. Because what do you mean my options are a man or a baby?!! MEDICALLY?!
🔥 THIS is how you negotiate.
Trump forced Putin and his motorcade to drive past a HUGE lineup of F-22s and attack helicopters on his way to the meeting…
… Immediately after buzzing Putin’s head with a B-2 Stealth Bomber
It’s pretty obvious who’s in the power position 🇺🇸
Instead of spending your time dreaming of your plan’s happy ending, you must work on calculating every possible permutation and pitfall that might emerge in it.
The true heartbreak is to observe the board from the sidelines, with oblivious pieces. Players, positions and even with some pattern recognition, wildly unpredictable moves. One thing I’ve learned best from America, if you think they wouldn’t, oh yes they fucking would.
It’s not a question of if, it’s a matter of at what cost? Malignant narcissism of the highest order with provocations to trigger reactive abuse as a pretext for God knows what. America is ultimately indomitable. But there’s only so much one can take. Praying the center holds.
Real recognize real, and Trumpers look mighty unfamiliar right now. You are not in control. The truth is no one knows how this is all going to play out. Pawns may yet become queens. And because I realize I am out of my depth I refuse to play a game I don’t fully understand.
