since I posted on the blog. It’s been crazy and hectic as always. Trying to get one’s business off the ground is no easy task. But I’m happy to report that things are looking up and I have managed to get a few clients on board. I am actually having the best time of my professional life running my own business at the moment. It’s been a long time coming. It’s really amazing how little time one gets to do a lot of other things when running a business. Still haven’t managed to find a regular place to football :-/ Can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since I last played football on a weekly basis :-/ REALLY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT!

Just came from my good friend’s “matebetos,” for all you non-Zambians out there, it’s a traditional ceremony where a soon-to-be bride’s family takes all the different kinds of food she and the husband will eat in their home over to the groom’s family’s home. Enjoyed the whole ceremony, though I forgot my damn camera at home and only realized it when I was already at the function :-/

It’s been a crazy, beautiful, amazing, hectic and busy few weeks. Moved from Liberia in December. I’m now back in Lusaka, working on getting Zedspot Media off the ground along with a few other projects. Learnt quite a lot from the time I started working in Liberia in March of 2004 till the time I left! It was my first time ever in West Africa (only part of Africa I hadn’t been to prior to that) and I got to take in a lot of the culture, the food and of course made a lot of friends! I’ll truly miss the place. But it’s now time to get into the swing of things in the Southern part of the continent.I got some really amazing news when I checked my email only to find out that I had been awarded a TED Global - Africa: the next chapter fellowship!!! Talk about starting the new year on a good note. I’m really looking forward to the conference in Arusha this June and I can’t wait to absorb all the inspiration that’ll be oozing out of the great list of speakers they’ve got lined up.
