FCUKUP night Harare!

F**KUP NIGHT — Harare!

World wide known platform for sharing your failure on the way to success! Everyone would agree, that be a successful woman or a man without any failure is not possible at all. Because wherefrom would you learn to be better?

I was curious to see, what are the lessons, successful Zimbabwean people took from their lives?

The first speaker was Brian K

Bryan Kadengu is a Zimbabwean musician who was the first winner of the relaunched version of Starbrite Zimbabwe in 2012.

His very famous song is Heavy Machine — pointing to the beauty of every African woman! He also shared his talent with us.

Unfortunately, we came a little bit late due to a driver, who we were navigating to the place from his googlemaps on the phone. So I am not able to report on his fuck-ups…

The second speaker was ice-cream Evangelist — treat rolled ice cream

The former almost Doctor was sharing his passion about what he is doing and how did he come up with an idea, to introduce the rolled ice cream to Zimbabwe. So very interesting points from his story:

we live so hard to match the expectations of our family, society, colleagues — but it is more about to find your truly youuu! Who I am?!? And leverage that potential fully.

And so one day his wife proposed him an idea — about the ice cream. Nothing can’t be more true then that behind every successful man is a strong woman.

In his ice cream Evangelium, he is presenting a value! The value is to bring anyone back to his very first experience of having ice cream and remind the person that you can enjoy ice cream the similar way you did it for the first time despite how old are where you are coming from!

How this ice cream journey has been developed can be looked at the following link. In the end, there was a small engagement with the audience, which turned into something I might share a little bit later… stay curious!

That was not all we have been experiencing… during the break, there were some local food trucks, drinks…

Masamba — means Tea in Shona

Masamba Kombucha is a superfood probiotic beverage. A fermented drink made from local tea. Natural and associated with incredible health benefits. There are different flavors: Lemon-Ginger, Pineapple, Orange and Baobab, at least from what was available that night…

A special thank you is going to Impact Hub for providing a place to host this wonderful evening. I love the statement of a lady from Impact hub:

I get feeling you will be back in Zimbabwe Leon!

That is something that I can’t argue about!

Without Craft Media Guys it could not be recorded and shared as per high media standards. That’s exactly what the crafted media guys are doing! Audio-video doesn’t matter…Thank you Zash and Team to make it happen as the main SPONSOR!
