Between wrapping up my summer internship at Xbox, planning and hosting a full-scale U.S. Gala for Ntha Foundation, and relaunching my first book By the End of Your Teens — I found myself teetering on the edge of burnout more than once. I was trying to do it all.
Lessons
After over a decade working across public, nonprofit, and multilateral systems — from the grassroots to the United Nations Headquarters — I’ve come to understand that development is rarely about what we do. It’s about how we think. And whom we center.
By the End of Your Teens
This June, I reintroduced By the End of Your Teens — the first installment in what will be a growing series of reflections on growth, identity, and navigating life as a young person with ambition.

I’ve now been in Redmond for 7 weeks, adjusting to the slower pace and sharper expectations of summer at Microsoft. In the midst of all this, something personal and precious quietly happened: I republished my first book, By the End of Your Teens.

The Economics of Enough: It Gets Spiritual (PART III)
We’ve been conditioned to believe that growth is the ultimate goal. That GDP must rise, that portfolios must grow, that productivity must always climb. More is the measure. More is the mantra. But what happens when we have… enough?
A New Normal for You and I: The Economics of the Endgame (PART II)
We often think of progress as inherently human. But what happens when the very systems we built to advance ourselves no longer need us?
When Capitalism Optimizes Itself Out of a Job: A Post-Labor Economy and the Politics of the Future (PART I)
There’s a quiet irony to it all. Capitalism: the engine that scaled innovation, accelerated globalization, and maximized productivity, may be evolving into a version of itself that no longer needs us to function.
