It feels good to writing again! It’s been a minute 😄
The beginning of this year was a bit of a bumpy ride for me. I thought it was just a mini-slump and I'd bounce back in no time, but it ended up being a much longer ride than I anticipated. My plans for the year fell apart before it even began, and all attempts to get a job were futile.
I think it’s more of the getting a job that made everything fall apart 🤔
I have this weird obsession with working- I hate being idle and would always want to have a task at hand. Like, waking up and having nothing to do or nothing fulfilling to do, gets to me a lottt.
So yeah that happened - no paying job, no response to my applications, and the community I volunteered at had a slow start so no free work either.
That got me in a very bad rut and I lost interest and motivation to continue with anything
Particularly grateful for Shebuel, my friend and co-partner at Brand & Trybe, who stood by me the whole time and helped me navigate that path. Talk about having the right people in the right seasons of your life.
I’m excited to be back here! My last letter was in March but it feels like ages 😅
A mini community life update…
Yes, I’m still in the community space 😂
I recently got a paid community lead role at the community of practice where I've been volunteering for the past year
I took a step back from niching to the Web3 space, and I'm looking to work with creators or creator-led brands this year. Would appreciate any recommendations and for now, I’m open to opportunities that may not necessarily pay but will be a valuable experience

I’m really really more than happy to be here to support in any way just as you have also been a great support to me. It’s been us understanding where we stand, what we need to do, and cheering each other on!
Thank you, Martha my boss (this wouldn’t be complete without adding that you’re my boss 😅)
Great to have you back, Martha! 🤗
I'm happy you were able to pull through that phase and you're still holding on. As we Christians say, God will see you through. 🙏
I read through and though there is no way I can completely understand, since I'm not you, but I can relate. The part where all attempts to get a job were futile. You know actively job-hunting but nothing came forth. Where you mention how you hate being idle...
For me, I took a step back from social media. I was still online but passive everywhere.
I went back to fully learning, and I'll keep learning until I get opportunities to practice the various thing I'm learning.
Yes, I'm still in the community space as a Community Moderator, and I still apply for jobs whenever they come my way. I just stopped hunting.
Thank you, Martha. ❤
