Weaving is still treated like something only elders do, or a fallback skill.
Meanwhile these baskets and pieces sell for serious money internationally, while many of the people who make them are underpaid at home.
Most of us are chasing government jobs or white-collar roles, yet the continent still needs the blue-collar work that actually builds things: furniture, baskets, lighting, everyday objects.
These crafts are not the opposite of progress. They are part of the base that creates the conditions for other jobs.
We have to start by valuing and improving the skills already here.
If you make this kind of work (weaving, carving, furniture, or other crafts), send me a DM with photos. I’ll be sharing pieces this week.

I have a deep respect for people's privacy. I can be very close to someone for years and still not know everything about them, and I never feel the need to ask. And It's not like I don't care. I believe that if someone hasn't chosen to share something, it isn't my place to ask!!

The biggest lesson I learned this year: Never expect people to love you, consider you or show up for you the same way you do for them. You can be thoughtful because that’s who you are. You can remember the little things, check in, make sacrifices, show up when they need you and genuinely care about how they feel. But not everyone loves with the same depth. Not everyone notices the things you notice. Not everyone thinks about you the way you think about them. And expecting them to can leave you constantly disappointed. Give because it’s who you are, not because you expect the same in return. Pay attention to what people naturally give back and let that show you where to place your heart.
