Christmas for us is a time to be thankful. Thankful for everything that has happened to us, the good and bad because even the bible says in everything give thanks.
Here goes our gratitude list:
- Jesus. Thank you for looking out for Mdada even when we don't know it.
- The rejection by a couple of outlets to retail our merchandise.
- The space we got to sell our bracelets at Yaya.
- The new girls we helped earn money. Nicole, one of our girls made Ksh 9650/- after we trained her!BOOM #winning #power. Our student here warms our heart with her testimonial.
- Our new and returning customers. We 💗 our customers.
- The markets we participated in. The flops like NFM and the successes like The Hub's Christmas Fair.
- Our new cool office space.
- Our partnerships with major companies (not saying the names because I want to surprise our fans, big things coming in 2017)
- The support of The Pollination Project. We were delighted to give gifts to the people who believed in us when we started.
- The rejection for support from accelerators we've been a part of.
- Our friends and family who've been a beacon of strength. (special s/o to my sisters Aina & Mainda, bro AK4Saba and my friends Willie and Linda who are part of the Mdada team.)
- The jam by Nyashinski 'Mungu Pekee'. It literally sums up our attitude this entire year. Please listen to it here
What are you grateful for this Christmas?
Have a merry one.
Bless,
