Plans for the summer: disappearing from civilization 🌊♥️

Of unlikely partners, and new and old friends. 🧡💛

Over the past few months, my students from the Malawi University of Science and Technology [@MUSTMalawi] working with the #KwathuKollective [@KwathuKonnect] have been developing agricultural technology systems, including AI-assisted crop detection and farming operations simulation and planning tools.

I was planning to create a reel, so I could tell you about how majestic Lake Michigan is.

Now that the MBA is done with me, I am sleeping again. I am resting again. I am reading again. I am writing again.

POV: you graduated from your MBA but you are also a @RockefellerFdn #BigBetsFellow and you’re kinda building a deep tech cyber-physical infrastructure company in the Motor City AKA Detroit but you are also kinda building a smart farming business in Africa and both initiatives are incubated in really wonderful fellowships andit is all really connected and it is all really cool and you have a lot of business knowledge and you also have really cool networks and you manage four companies on 3 continents and you are also a black woman so you are also really scared because the world is generally not welcoming to black women [in business] but you are also really excited and you know it will all work out because it always does but you are also really really nervous and you just flew threw four continents in a week and you are kinda really really tired but also really really grateful.

First in my bloodline to hold 3 Degrees 🎓💚🤍 #MBADone

By the time you are reading this, I will [likely] be on a flight to Detroit; on my way to my MBA graduation in East Lansing this Friday [1st May, 2026].

Spent the majority of my day yesterday in front of my screen, examining my @MichiganStateU Applied Engineering Sciences and Supply Chain Management students.

My greatest friend.

6 seconds of home.

The most entrepreneurial thing to do: step out of a pitch competition, and onto a flight — 8,000 miles out to exhibit on an African stage.

I hardly use social media anymore, I’m not even sure if selfies are still hip [is the millennial in me showing?]

In motion through the years 🫴🏽🩵

Exactly two years ago, I was scrambling for my life, wrapping up my life in New York City as I completed my mission with the @UnitedNations.

Now that the MBA is done, I have space to reflect on the past two years, and focus on what really matters: listening to @DriemoOfficial 🩵🤍

I am genuinely still pinching myself, realizing I am standing at the finish line of my MBA.

It is March of 2026.
