IN HER THOUGHTS

Being an African says something about being black and proud, that black excellence vibe! Pride comes with success and the ability to let your little light shine. It hits me differently to realize that most of the flags in Africa are Colorful. I for one feel like there is a reason why there are many colours on the flags which is it symbolizes the endless opportunities in Africa for people to become great in different ways but still coming back together as one and represent Africa. We do not need to limit ourselves when it comes to entrepreneurship, think ahead of time and generate visions that will lift up your name even when you are long gone. The good thing about entrepreneurship is that there is no restriction in the size of your startup. What is needed as the foundation is the solid vision then u start on a small capital keeping the eye on the goal? Jeff Bezos once said during his high school days, “the earth is finite and if the world economy and population are to continue expandi

A place we call home, a place one misses and appreciates. At times a place that can kill a dream and hope. This is a place where it all happens, young adults breed in their comfort zones and live on “existing to survive” mantra.  The young and the restless calls it G hetto and it's one of the places where all levels of confidence reside because everyone claims to be a Wise . The general belief is people from the streets live on an everyday reality  'to see things getting worse for many and better for a few. ' Choices and the company you keep determine your tomorrow and many always tell a tale of regret wishing if they could have done things differently. The spirit of stagnation seeps through the dusty streets. A kid with a dream today but life hardships and responsibilities can easily knock his off course. For those who blame life for being unfair, terrorize the drains and get high on alcohol and drugs to drown their sorrows away. Standard color for lads’ lips is b

According to the World Health Organisation, Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered Coronavirus. It spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it's important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow). Approximately 1.3 million lives were affected and 70000 died from coronavirus. Nothing on earth is moving or trending except the virus. One of its kind, deadly and proving difficult to be unstoppable.  The continuation of the COVID-19 is exerting economic and market pressures globally, and the sources of the economic pressures including currency depreciation, liquidity tightening and also volatile stock markets amongst others. Taking a look at the Zimbabwean situation the informal sector is the one that’s most people are employed in and with the lockdown, it means that all the people and clients living on hand to mo

Easy come, easy go is a cliché that I grew up more familiar with. I wasn’t in a position to understand what that phrase meant in the real world until experience taught me the hard way and left me with a testimony. It’s funny how quick we lose some of the things we get so easily in life. I took some time to think about what could possibly be the password to success and did my research on some of the multi-millionaires aroud the world and it turned out that hard work and resilience were written all over their faces.  I reflected on how we get to complain when life demands us to work hard, we complain too much forgetting that attitude at the beginning has a positive effect on the results at the end. We fancy aptitude the most but it is a fact that attitude surpasses aptitude. This brought me to a better understanding that hard times are significant in our lives, and it is quite critical for one to determine the most appropriate way to address the time and that should never be dis

It’s like a beautiful glare each time we cast our eyes their way, something to live for, something to appreciate. What on earth could be more delicate, special and precious than a gem? Undermined but yet full of potential. We appreciate the direction we are taking, the element of treating women as second citizens. It's fading away like the morning mist which diffuses into thinner air as the day lapses.  Now everything is put at par and much recognition is put to honor the good cause of equality. What else could we have asked for, all that they bring is joy and serenity? They have the power to incubate naturally and give life. So my oration then defines a woman as an epitome of care and love, soft and vulnerable but strong and vibrant. Today I would love to take this opportunity to appreciate the female version of humankind for they are the source of pride in all our lives. If you give a woman anything raw or half-done she will definitely make something worth appreciati

Who, when, why, what now!? (Chuckles), hold it. Have you ever discovered that if you think things through, life is a series of comprehensive questions? They either guide us somewhere or give us the power of knowledge. It takes me back two decades ago when I was born, the first thing my grandmother asked when I brought into this world was, is it a boy or a girl? Looking back, the series of questions guided my every step. I remember in kindergarten the first question the teacher asked me , “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It brought a lot of perspective to things as I gradually started to paint a portrait of how questions bring meaning to life. When human beings are at their remarkable level of sanity, before they solely make a decision there is always that inner voice with a long list of questions. The classic ones are always, the why, the when and the what? It takes the skill of understanding, planning and also a vision to be able to give reasons to support actions.

📸Elijah O'Donnell Reflecting on life, isn’t it an interesting thing? We all get equal chances to be new to the world and have a name tag on us. People celebrate the addition of a new member, empty yet full of life and a bright future. The journey of building your own brand begins with just your Name. That choice by your loved ones and the creation of an extraordinary image you build compliments the name.  My name is Ishvi and it means to be equal. My name appeared to be an alien to thyself either but, I gave myself time to understand what it really means and how it molds my true personality of the Brand Ishvi . Common sense with a bit of sanity kicked in and then I got motivated to write and design my own brand. It's full of good deeds, resilience and hard work for the Brand Ishvi to equal Success. I understand some of us don’t even know what their names mean. My case was different I have a name that gives a directive to be complete but the most important thing h

Every moment in this beautiful life we live feels like crunch time and we are constantly bound to make decisions that will bind us for the rest of our lives. I told myself that for every moment I am going to make a decision I am going to accept the outcome either good or bad. Life is never the same every minute, it has got its ups and downs so I told myself I am going to live it the best way I can. I have been faced with challenging situations that at some point in time I wasn't bold enough to even think of a future. I thought I had lost it but then I told myself the promise upon my life was made already I am going to pull through. It feels awkward at times to speak positively upon a bad situation but the thing is what you tell yourself is what you believe in and that is good enough to make tables turn for the greater good.  Life from my own point of view can be a tale of tells. When I found myself crying, I told myself worries are not going to last for lon
