The Happiness Tribe

A successful businessman was on vacation in a small coastal village. One afternoon, as he strolled along the shore, he came across a fisherman hauling in his catch. The fish were large and plentiful, their scales shimmering in the sunlight.

"That's quite a catch!" the businessman said. "How long did it take you to catch them?"

"Not long," the fisherman replied with a smile.

"Why don't you fish for longer? You could catch more fish and sell them to make more money!" the businessman suggested.

The fisherman tilted his head curiously. "And then what?"

"With the extra money, you could buy a bigger boat, hire some help, and catch even more fish. Over time, you could expand into a fleet, sell internationally, and build a thriving business."

The fisherman chuckled. "And what would I do then?"

"Well, after years of hard work, you could retire, move to a quiet village, spend time with your family, fish for pleasure, and enjoy life!"

The fisherman grinned and said, "But I already do that now."

This simple yet profound story stayed with me as I traveled the world. From the bustling streets of New York to the serene landscapes of Africa, from boardrooms to rural villages, one thing remained constant: all humans, regardless of race, wealth, or status, crave happiness. 

Inspired by this realization and deeply rooted in the spirit of *Ubuntu*—the belief in our shared humanity—I founded *The Happiness Tribe*. A movement, a community, and a way of life dedicated to spreading joy, mindfulness, and a sense of belonging.

Miss Kim (Sally kimangu)

Have you ever seen a moment so powerful it felt like the whole nation exhaled?

At the Children’s Parliament yesterday, something shifted.

The cultural dances, UNICEF’s UNICEF engagement , the joy in the room,

 it all came together when the President stepped forward and danced with that little girl.

In seconds, leadership became human.

A child became the symbol of our future.

And Botswana showed the world that our children are not waiting… they are leading.

That little girl carried the dreams of every child who deserves to be seen, heard, and lifted.

If one child can shift a room with her courage, what could happen if we empowered all of them?

#Botswana #ChildrensParliament #YouthPower #LeadershipWithHeart #FutureOfAfrica

Ms Kim  (Sally Kimangu) 

What do we truly owe the men and women who carried the weight of our freedom and asked for nothing in return?

Yesterday, I watched President Obama walk down the aisle of a plane filled with veterans.


No speeches. No ceremony.

Just eye contact, warmth, and respect, one handshake at a time.

You could feel it, the quiet pride of people who gave everything and still carry it with grace.

Their presence was a reminder that freedom has a face.

It remembers.
It breathes 
It limps 

That’s what leadership should look like not performance, but presence.
Not power, but gratitude.

To every veteran: thank you for your courage, your silence, your scars, and your service.

You remind us that leadership is not about being seen, it’s about seeing others.

If moments like this move you too, follow me.

Let’s keep shining a light on humanity, leadership, and the power of heart-led action.

#VeteransDay #RealLeadership #GratitudeInAction #HumanityFirst #LeadWithHeart

What future are we creating if our children learn to swipe before they learn to feel the earth beneath their feet?

This simple clip of kids sliding in the mud shook me in the most beautiful way.

In a world racing toward AI, automation, and screens everywhere, these moments remind us of something profoundly human:

Tech builds skills… but play builds identity.

Yes, our children must learn to code.
Yes, they must understand digital tools.

But they must also climb trees, run barefoot, laugh loudly, get dirty, experiment, fail, rise, imagine.

Because innovation does not come from devices,it comes from hearts that were allowed to experience childhood fully.

Are we preparing children for the future, or are we taking away the very childhood that gives them the courage to shape it?

#FutureTechIgnite #AfricaSTEMQueen
 #DigitalTransformation #ChildhoodMatters #AIForGood

I watched this young man today and couldn’t shake one truth, the people who keep our food systems alive are still the ones earning the least. 

We applaud their strength, but we ignore the system that traps them. 

And somehow, we still call this ‘hard work’ a pathway to progress.

If we don’t transition our youth into digital skills now, are we building a future or repeating a cycle of survival?

“Service to mankind is the rent we pay for our room on this planet.”

This week, that truth settled deeply in my spirit.

Being featured in the DBE Diverse Business Elite Magazine Chamber of Commerce Q4 2025 Magazine felt like a powerful reminder that purpose-driven work never returns empty. 

Serving on their global judging panel, listening to bold entrepreneurs from different parts of the world filled me with so much hope. 

Every story reflected resilience, creativity, and human possibility.

When they handed me a certificate of appreciation afterward, I felt emotional. 

Not because of recognition, but because it affirmed the journey… the long nights, the community work, the passion for transforming education, and the dream of building the Africa we want.

I’ve shared the full magazine in the comments.

I truly encourage you to read it. 

The stories will lift your spirit.

Deeply grateful to President Ms. Adlika for the honour.

I thought I understood resilience, until 2025 tested me, refined me, and ultimately reshaped the way I see myself.

There were days I felt stretched thin, moments when the setbacks hit deeper than I’d admit, and times I questioned whether I was moving forward at all.

 It’s truly been a tough year.

But here’s the part I didn’t see coming:
 this was also the year I learned what I’m actually capable of.

Somewhere between the disappointments and the small wins, I realized something important:

Growth doesn’t happen in the moments that go right, it happens in the moments that force you to rebuild your strategy, not your spirit.

That’s the lesson I’m taking with me.

And to everyone who stood by me, encouraged me, challenged me, or simply believed in me when I was running on empty,

May your cup runneth over. 

Your presence mattered more than you know.

What gives me hope now is how quickly the world is changing, and how much potential that gives each of us.

Digital transformation is no longer optional; it’s the new foundation of opportunity.

And the people who thrive will be the ones who choose to learn, adapt, and upskill, even when life feels heavy.

So as 2025 wraps up, here’s my promise to myself:

keep growing, keep learning, keep evolving, especially when it’s hard.

Let’s finish this year with intention.

 Let’s step into 2026 with courage and capability.

What skill, technology, or mindset will you commit to mastering, so the challenges of this year become the fuel for your next one?

I think the biggest danger in business right now isn’t AI… it’s our belief that we still have time.

When I watched Bill Gates interview explaining the 

“new thing called the Internet,” 

it reminded me how often the world gives us warnings we ignore, right before everything changes.

We’re living through that moment again.

AI isn’t tomorrow.
AI is now.

And if history has taught us anything, it’s this:

We either adapt together… or we get left behind together.

Change has always been constant, but today it moves with a speed that punishes hesitation.

That’s why we’re helping SMEs build practical digital skills, automation systems, and AI capabilities that keep our businesses alive, competitive, and earning… even as the world shifts.

Not theory.
Not hype.
Real tools. Real systems. Real transformation.

If we want to grow, scale, and future-proof our income, we have to evolve intentionally.

Join our SME Digital Transformation Workshop.

We train you, support you, and walk with you through your entire automation journey.

I felt lost I felt stuck I was drowning in silence, watching everything I built start to crumble. 

Clients disappeared, calls stopped, and confidence vanished.

It felt like the end until I discovered something unexpected—LinkedIn.

LinkedIn became my lifeline. 

One post at a time I started rebuilding my voice my visibility and my value

Today I’ve grown to nearly 40,000 followers, over 2 million impressions and built a global network of real friendships and business collaborations, that changed everything

That’s why I’m hosting a free 45-minute live podcast this Wednesday at 3 PM SAT on LinkedIn

🎙️ Digital Footprint = Digital Opportunity | Why Every Professional Needs a LinkedIn Presence

We’ll uncover

✅ How to rise again using your story and your skills
✅ How to turn visibility into trust and trust into opportunity
✅ How LinkedIn can become your most powerful growth engine

If you’ve ever felt invisible this is your reminder that your comeback might begin with your next post.

Be Seen, Be Trusted, Be Hired: The Real Power of Your LinkedIn Presence

I have carried this magazine long before it had a name.

It began as fragments of encounters spread across classrooms, villages, labs, and boardrooms.

Children soldering broken wires into working circuits.

Teachers turning scarcity into curriculum.

Youth interpreting code like poetry.

It was born in the ordinary moments no one archives.

A girl staying behind after camp because she was not ready to stop learning.

A boy whispering that building something made him feel seen.

A grandmother asking if she too was allowed to learn.

These were not activities.
They were revelations.

I realised something unsettling.

Our story is rarely written from within.

Reports speak of potential.

Analysts forecast opportunity.

But who captures the lived reality of transformation as it unfolds?

Who records the child whose first robot carries water to a neighbour?

Who writes about the teenager scripting hope into software because life gave him none?

This magazine is my refusal to let those moments disappear.

It is an archive of a continent inventing itself in real time.

It is a ledger of intelligence that is often unseen but always undeniable.

Africa STEM Queen Magazine exists because I have watched brilliance emerge without permission, without applause, without resources.

And I am done waiting for validation from elsewhere.

These pages are not motivation.
They are evidence.
Not a promise but a record.
A record of minds that do not wait for rescue but design their own futures.

If you read closely, you may recognise yourself.

A dream you once set aside.
A question you never dared to ask.
A possibility you assumed belonged to someone else.

This magazine insists otherwise.
It reminds you that you were always part of the story.

Our decade has begun not because someone announced it but because ordinary people decided to build without guarantees.

Will your work be featured in our first issue or will history proceed without your voice?

I’m always anxious and excited heading into our one-day masterclass on digital transformation. 

There’s a certain mystery baked into the experience.

 You never quite know who you’ll meet, but you know the alchemy will be powerful.

Last Friday’s bootcamp was an absolute game-changer.

The fusion of soft skills and tech capability ignited real momentum across the room. 

Participants dove into hands-on sessions, tackled real community challenges, and built sharp, solution-driven business cases in agile teams of three to four.

The talent mix was electric, with a teacher syncing seamlessly with a recent high school graduate, a chartered accountant brainstorming with a young innovator, diverse voices converging and creating instant synergy. 

Thabiso C. Morapedi, BEng captured the moment perfectly: “I came in unsure, but I left feeling unstoppable.”

Many arrived asking, “What exactly is AI?” and by the end they were navigating AI fundamentals, experimenting with digital marketing tools, unpacking cybersecurity essentials, and amplifying their collaborative confidence. 

The curiosity, 
The energy, 
The bold questions and the teamwork, it all created a high-impact learning environment.

Demand is expanding rapidly, and we’re scaling from monthly to twice a month to keep pace. 

We’re ready to activate across cities and communities throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Invite us. 

Bring us to your town. 
Let’s build capability at scale.

This is Africa’s moment. 

We’re not observing the future; we’re shaping it.

I picked up my phone with my usual bubbly Tuesday morning energy…
…and in one email, everything collapsed.

A global company cancelled our SaaS contract.

Just like that, the revenue vanished.

The project I had poured my soul into was gone.

I didn’t leave the house for weeks.

I questioned my intelligence my purpose my entire journey.

I thought it was the end.

But pain has a strange way of unlocking clarity.

In that quiet place of disappointment,I realised something powerful;

I wasn’t supposed to build for them
I was supposed to build for my people.

For Africa.
For the youth.

For the dreamers who just need one digital skill to change their destiny.

That failure became my awakening.

That loss is where I found my life’s work.

That moment is exactly where Future Tech Ignite was born.

Today when I train entrepreneurs youth and professionals across Africa,

I see the purpose that came from that darkest season.

And I would choose this path again
Even in my next life

Because digital transformation didn’t just save my career, It rebuilt my identity.

I found my purpose when I lost that project

And that fire still drives everything I build.

Are you walking through a hard season?

Maybe your greatest purpose is hiding inside that exact moment.

#DigitalTransformation #FutureTech #Leadership #AfricaRising #PurposeDriven

What if the future of Africa is being shaped right here… around an open fire with 200 children? 

Every other Saturday, we gather for our STEAM Club 

Sometimes 150 children, sometimes 200, all showing up with hungry stomachs and even hungrier minds.

No fancy kitchen.
No big budget.
Just firewood, heart, and a bold commitment to their future.

Because STEAM education isn’t a privilege…
It’s a lifeline.
It’s the new literacy.

It’s the difference between surviving and thriving.

Science teaches them to question.

Technology connects them to the world.

Engineering strengthens their problem-solving.

Arts unlock creativity and confidence.

Mathematics builds discipline and structure.

Together, STEAM equips a child to innovate, create, and lead Africa’s next wave of transformation.

So every other Saturday, we show up.
We cook.
We teach.
We build possibility, one child at a time.

If this touches your spirit, tap ❤️
If you believe every child deserves STEAM education, share this video so more people can witness what real community impact looks like.

I’ve met entrepreneurs who’ve poured their entire life into their business, their savings, 
their pride, their sleepless nights only to feel invisible online. 

That pain is real… and it’s why this work matters

That’s exactly what happened at our recent SME Digital Growth workshop.

People walked in carrying quiet worries.....

 “I don’t understand digital.”
 “My business isn’t ready.”
 “Maybe running a business isn’t for me.”

But by the end… everything shifted.
I saw faces light up.
I saw confidence return.

I saw business owners, some for the first time, finally believe, “Yes, I can do this.”
We didn’t just teach digital tools.

 We gave people hope, clarity, and a simple path forward… one they can actually follow without feeling overwhelmed.
And honestly?

 It reminded me why this mission matters so deeply.

If you had been in that room with us, what’s the ONE thing you wish you could have learned or asked?

Some days don’t shout, they heal.

For me, Sunday is that day.

It starts with a long morning walk alongside Ginger and Athena, my furry life coaches who remind me to pause, notice, and breathe.

Then comes the slow breakfast…
the kind that tastes like gratitude rather than urgency.

Church settles my spirit,
family lunch fills the heart,and the evening closes with The Happiness Tribe podcast a space where purpose is shared, not stored.

Maybe that’s why Sunday is my favourite day, it weaves together movement, meaning, faith, and community.

It’s the quiet architecture behind my ambition.

What ritual strengthens your week before it even begins?

💔 If your business had to close for 30 days today, would you still make money, or would everything stop? 

Let that sink in.
Not in theory.
Right now.
Today.

What if life hit you hard with illness, family emergency, burnout, or even just needing to rest?

Would your income continue... or would your entire business disappear with you?

Because if you are the system........

 If clients only get served when you show up...
 
If sales only happen when you pitch...

 If money stops flowing the moment you stop moving...

Then what you’ve built isn’t a business.
 
It’s a job.

 A job with no backup.
 No freedom.
 No exit plan.
 No safety net.

And deep down, you know that.
 You’ve felt the pressure.
 You’ve lived the overwhelm.
 You’ve whispered to yourself:

“What if I can’t keep this up?”

The truth?

You don’t have to.

There’s a better way.

You can build a system that runs even when you don’t.

 A sales process that keeps working while you’re resting, healing, breathing, or growing.

That’s what digitizing gives you.

 Freedom. Backup.  Peace. Power.

I have often been reprimanded by my mentors about how I relate to my team.

One of them once told me, “Yes, you get into situations because you even know their kids’ names.”

And honestly… that’s a part of me I don’t wish to change, because people are not machines, they carry dreams, fears, families, and real lives behind the emails and deadlines.

I’m not easy to work with, but I deeply care.

I demand excellence, I challenge comfort zones, and I push for impact.

But my heart is fully invested in the people who stand with me.

I see their growth.
I see their pressure.
I see their commitment when no one is clapping.

Future Tech Ignite didn’t rise because of strategy alone.

It rose because a small team kept believing  …..

when our plans were messy, when our campaigns failed, 

when the economy hit hard, 

when we were exhausted but still showed up for the mission.

They stayed through the storms.
They held the line.

They carried this movement with integrity and courage.

And I’ve learned something powerful along the way:

Impact is built by people who care not by perfect systems.

Leadership is not about distance.

It’s about presence.
It’s about empathy.
It’s about knowing the human behind the role and choosing to believe in their potential even when life stretches them thin.

To my team:

Thank you for standing beside me when everything felt uncertain.

Thank you for giving this mission your energy, your nights, your faith.

Thank you for being the quiet strength behind every milestone we celebrate.

Future Tech Ignite is not my victory, it’s the collective heartbeat of a team that refused to give up.

And if caring “too much” is my leadership flaw… I’ll own it proudly.

Because people matter. The mission matters. And the future we’re building matters.

#FutureTechIgnite #LeadershipWithHeart #TeamworkWins #HumanLeadership #ImpactDriven

How many broken hearts and silenced voices must we witness before we admit something is deeply wrong?

What if your next breakthrough is hiding in a single skill you haven’t learned yet?

Every season tests us.

Some days stretch our courage.

Some days remind us how human we are.

And yet, every day also offers a chance to rebuild, reimagine, and rise again.

If there’s one thing this year has taught me, it’s this:

You are one skill away from opening doors you didn’t even know existed.

One new capability can shift your income, your confidence, your worldview… and your future.

And because I genuinely believe in your potential, I’m gifting you something that has changed my own journey:

I can still hear my mom shouting from the yard,

 “You’re sitting under that tree reading your storybooks while the cows have no water, or they feed themselves?”

Typical of an African mom.

I’d close my Danielle Steel novel, lead the cows to the river, and somehow still get a beating when they wandered into the maize field. 

I was branded the lazy child because I preferred learning to manual work.

But today, everything has changed. 

Those same farms now use solar-powered pumps, automated feeding systems, and AI sensors that remind farmers when to water or medicate livestock, all from a phone.

That’s how powerful technology has become.
 
And if we don’t adapt, we’ll be left behind.
