Turning #Idle_Watts into Opportunity: #Bitcoin and #Africas_Renewable_Energy_Future I’ve watched solar panels hum under the Kenyan sun.More power than a village can use. Batteries full. Lights dim. Energy wasted. At the same time, I’ve seen mums trade in sats.Merchants accepting Bitcoin. Trust growing in places where the old systems fail. Bitcoin gives financial inclusion. Solar gives energy inclusion.Together, they give something deeper: sovereignty, over money, over power, over life itself. Every surplus watt can become hash rate. Every idle panel can become opportunity. Homes powered. Communities thriving. Computation running. This isn’t just about solar or mining. It’s a movement. A chance to flip scarcity into self-sovereignty. We can transform energy challenges into opportunities.We can power homes and hash rate, build communities, and unlock independence. Africa doesn’t need to wait.The technology is here. The energy is here. Sovereignty is possible, if we connect the dots. #Bitcoin #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy #AfricaInnovation #GreenBitcoin #CircularEconomy #FinancialInclusion #EnergyInclusion #CommunityEmpowerment #CleanEnergy

I wish more people truly understood what love, friendship, and loyalty really mean. It’s not always about money. Sometimes, it’s just listening—without judgment, without advice. Even when you don’t know what to say or how to help, just sit with the person in their silence. Emotional support doesn’t always need words or action—sometimes it just needs presence. Be confused with them. Be present. You’re not God. You’re not the government. You don’t need to fix everything. But your presence alone can mean the world. 💛 AI photo by Doris Magiri. #Love #Loyalty #Friendship #MentalHealthAwareness #PresenceMatters #KindnessIsFree #EmotionalSupport #HumanConnection

Being a Mental Health Survivor Today, I choose to celebrate me. There was a time I felt lost—confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to do next. But in that moment of darkness, I gathered the little strength I had left and asked for help. That one step changed everything. Someone listened. Someone cared. And slowly, I began to heal. It wasn’t easy—but I’m still here. Still standing. And for that, I’m proud of myself. To anyone silently struggling: you’re not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help. #MentalHealthAwareness #HealingJourney #Survivor

#Val #MyLifeline. Some days are hard. Some days feel like the weight of the world is too much to carry. But then I look at my daughter—and somehow, I find the strength I didn’t know I had. Her smile, her presence, her very existence reminds me why I keep going. Lord thank you for #Blessing me with her. She has no idea, but she’s saved me more times than I can count—just by being her. 💖 One day, when she's all grown up and scrolling through the internet, I hope she finds this. The internet never forgets—and I’m leaving this here for her, a piece of my heart in words. 🕊️ #ForMyDaughter #MotherhoodMoments #UnseenStrength #DearFutureYou #InternetNeverForgets

#BitcoinPizzaDay On this day, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas from Papa John's. This became the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin, and May 22 is now celebrated annually as Bitcoin Pizza Day. The two pizzas bought for 10,000 BTC in 2010 would be worth approximately Ksh. 141.7 billion today.🔥⚡💥 @Bitcoin Babies 🍼

Growth you can feel. Yesterday, I had the joy of introducing our @Bitcoin Babies 🍼, Eve,Program Manager to the heartbeat of our Kimbo circular economy—our merchants. In this photo, I’m sharing the vision of a Bitcoin-powered community, and the attentiveness in their eyes says it all. We stayed longer than planned—because the conversations were too valuable to cut short. These aren't just merchants—they're early adopters, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. Each conversation builds trust, each handshake plants a seed. We're witnessing something powerful: grassroots adoption in motion. #Bitcoin #CircularEconomy #Entrepreneurship #BitcoinBabies #Nostr #Adoption

Saturday 5th April was special. I joined the npub1kk20h7w79xd79nzm9fj9aqugwf57qpx0letx6rncfjecrhd4x4yqn7rq3x graduation in Kenya — celebrating entrepreneurs and business people who took time to learn Bitcoin and business. It’s proof that the grassroots movement is alive. People are choosing Bitcoin for real, as a medium of exchange Honored to rep @Bitcoin Babies 🍼 and be part of this energy. #Bitcoin #BitcoinEducation #BitcoinBabies #BitBiashara #Entrepreneurship #CircularEconomy

Live streaming @AdoptingBitcoinCapeTown all the way from #Kenya, listening to @Sabina . Her @Tando.me keynote, #Bitcoin as a medium of exchange across Africa. It’s time for Bitcoiners to listen to the people, not lecture them, and work together to find Bitcoin solutions for Africa.

What's your take on Bitcoin online education in Kenya? Statistically, Facebook is the most used platform here, with 16.5M users as of Jan 2024. Yet, from my posts about Bitcoin, many have no idea what it is, or they think it's a scam or pyramid scheme. Are we doing enough to educate?

Breaking Barriers: My First Solo Solar Installation Experience In September 2021, I embarked on a journey that would forever shape my career in renewable energy. After a series of supervised installations under the guidance of Vincent mbae , our lead solar technician at Vinsol Renewables, I was ready to take the lead on my very first solo solar PV system installation. The site? Athi River. The challenge? A 4kVA system. I won't lie—fear and excitement were in equal measure as I prepared for the task. When I arrived at the client’s premises, tools in hand, I noticed the surprise in their eyes. They hadn’t expected a woman to show up as the lead technician. That moment sparked a fire in me to prove that women can excel in professional installations just as well as anyone else. With one assistant by my side, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. The project wasn’t without its challenges—tight deadlines, technical troubleshooting, and the occasional heatwave—but we completed the installation in just two days. The sense of accomplishment as the system powered up for the first time was indescribable. Balancing a career in a field often dominated by men while embracing motherhood has been both challenging and rewarding. I take breaks to focus on my family, and returning to work always feels like stepping into a world where I can push myself out of my comfort zone. Each installation is a new chapter, a new opportunity to grow, and a chance to inspire other women to pursue their passions, no matter the field. As a wife, a mother, and a solar technician, I’ve learned that challenges are universal in all lines of work. What matters most is the courage to rise above them, the willingness to learn, and the determination to leave a lasting impact. Looking back at that first solo installation, I realize it wasn’t just about setting up a solar system—it was about breaking barriers, shattering expectations, and lighting the way for other women to step into the world of renewable energy. To any woman out there dreaming of taking the lead in their career: believe in yourself, embrace the challenges, and know that you can do it all.

Merry Christmas Nostr Family.🎄 This festive season, I wasn’t able to travel to Nakuru to celebrate with my family. However, purchasing something for them from the comfort of my home in Nairobi , paying through @Tando.me using my @Blink Wallet made me feel connected, as if I were right there with them. When @Sabina did her very first stage presentation introducing @Tando.me during the BITCOIN DADA Cohort 7 graduation, I was eager to ask her questions. In fact, I stood up almost immediately, only to receive Ksh. 200 worth of SATs from Tando directly to my M-Pesa line. That single experience answered all my questions! Tando had provided a solution to a challenge I had been struggling with in my line of work. As the On-Ground Manager at @Bitcoin Babies 🍼, I’ve been working on building a circular economy by onboarding merchants to accept Bitcoin as a mode of payment. While I successfully onboarded more than 10 merchants, the most common challenge I faced was their concern about off-ramping: “After I’ve accepted Bitcoin from the mums in your community, how do I convert it to Ksh. so I can restock?” Tando solved this challenge for me. Thank you, @Tando.me team, for innovating such a sustainable solution for Bitcoiners in Kenya. Your work has made it seamless for those of us paid or receiving grants in Bitcoin to spend SATs. Merchants in our Kimbo circular economy can now restock effortlessly without stress.

This is still at heart! The @Africa Bitcoin Conference Kidscamp, @Bitcoin Babies 🍼 @Bitcoin Junior Club, and @KidsBitcoin made the gift pack so special for my #LittleSatoshi. Learning and fun combined—by next year, we might just be ready for school! 💃 #Bitcoin #Parenting

The Power of Community: A Safe Space for Mothers and Mental Wellness Today, we had a heartwarming meet-up with Doris Magiri ,a mental health specialist, and an incredible group of mothers. In African communities, mental health is often sidelined, yet it’s something we all need. Being a woman is hard. Being an African mother with no safe space to talk about mental wellness is even harder. Thanks to @Bitcoin Babies 🍼, this community , as mothers we not only connects and shares but also learns about #Bitcoin a tool for financial freedom—while prioritizing mental wellness. Every time we meet, I offload stress I didn’t even know I carried. The bond grows stronger, the conversations get deeper, and we even find time to dance! 💃 Mental health matters. Financial freedom matters. Community matters. Let’s keep building safe spaces where mothers can heal, thrive, and grow. #MentalHealthAwareness #Bitcoin #FinancialFreedom #CommunityMatters #MothersSupportingMothers
