I think your twenties are for figuring it out. I think it’s the first time you have access to freedom and resources - your autonomy; and I think you should take your time figuring out what you like. Travel, try new things, love different people, be a good friend. Figure it out.

For graduation day in Secondary School, we had to dress up as our aspiration. I dressed up as Malawian news anchor Angel Chima, saying I wanted to work in the media. I went on to study Economics and put behind me the media dream. 📍13 years later, in NYC - producing media.

Zambians have a very weird main character syndrome when it comes to the Kwacha. I have never once looked at Zambian price and thought "ah yes, let me declare on this public fora that this is in fact NOT a Malawian Kwacha". Very strange behavior.

It does not matter how well you speak (or write) in the English language - it will never make you “English”. That is not your identity as an African. You should never attach your worth to how well you can speak another man’s language.

Think of your degree as what you know, not what do you do. You can choose to practice (/do) exactly what you know, or you can choose to do so much more with what you know. The possibilities are endless. Do not limit yourself.

Unlearn the ideology that you have to be the only successful person from your village. The more successful individuals there are in a community, the more developed the community is. Stand in the gaps. Leave the door open when you enter. Throw the ladder down when you rise.

I don’t have all the language, but hating Driemo is very anti-Malawian. Feels like the kids in secondary school who used to brag about not knowing/listening to Malawian music. A struggling effort at seeming cool - a lack of national pride that was taught by a certain generation.

Also as I am on topic, I’ve never claimed any of the crowns you dress me with, and try to dethrone me for immediately after. “She’s not a celebrity” “She’s not pretty” “She’s not that rich” “She’s not an influencer” “Who does she think she is?” Give it a rest! It’s pathetic.
