I’m cooked! I try to reduce my sugar consumption but when I get to the movies I always take sweet popcorn. Like movie = sweet popcorn for me actually.
Sometimes I would take sweet and salty and eat them alternately 💀💀💀

I have consciously attended events in recent months in Senegal. The themes were often between blockchain, AI, sovereignty, fintech, regulation. My conclusion? Most of these events are neither useful nor important. And it's a shame.
We climb these stairs every day in this house. But it took my friend (a sourcing specialist with an eye for materials) to make me really see them.

Sometimes beauty hides in the things we move through on autopilot.
🎬 Baks (Yamba), 1974 : Senegalese Momar Thiam’s film warned us long before legalization debates ever began.
It wasn’t just about weed but moral panic, hypocrisy, and how societies punish escape instead of asking why people need it.

Maybe Baks wasn’t about drugs at all.
Maybe it was about fear, and who gets to define what’s “clean.”
As a human, you can’t be knowing Africa’s history and not being disgusted.
As an African, you can’t be knowing Africa’s history and not be radicalized.
I’m actually so mad. I paid $1300 for a round trip ticket from Brazzaville to Dakar.
$1300… for what exactly? Please be serious.
I hate how traveling is so expensive within African countries. Airport taxes and fees are ridiculous! $750!!
On building habits, I added walking to the learning. I need to keep the list pretty short if not I will drop everything at once.
I walked for 3.5 kms and ran for .5km. My lunges were burning and I can’t feel my legs.
Baby steps.
I'm in it to win it!

Something I only learned because I was a community manager for a tomato sauce brand a few years ago: every year in Spain, there’s an event called “La Tomatina” where people literally throw tons of tomatoes at each other in the streets.
