01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

My Soulful Afri-culture project intertwine the journey of self discovery with the rich African heritage.My plan is to incorporate self discovery and empowerment tools with a touch of African graphics and designs. On the journey of self discovery I'm planning to make products which promote self awareness and a positive look at ourselves.

My services will include but not limited to; -Creating self awareness and discovery content -self awareness campaigns -Story telling in African themed kids story books -interactive games and cultural interactions

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

Soulful Afri-culture came to my mind after seeing how self discovery can change one's life. In my life I have encountered people who have so much potential perish just because they either don't know their potential or because they don't believe in themselves. In other instances I've been in luck to watch people who have lived in the ground rise after discovering who they are and embracing themselves. What my project is trying to solve is making sure that everyone has the chance to experience self discovery and tap to their best version. I've discovered through experience that self discovery doesn't just change you, it also changes how you see things and people around you. In a institution or society whose people know and embrace themselves, there would be so much harmony and improvement. I'm talking about a society where everyone is doing their best and people are looking things with a positive outlook. This is my dream society, authentic people, positive energy, productive people.

02.01.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

With my project being about tapping to the best versions of ourselves, this will make everyone productive in the best way that they can. I have seen so many people under performing or not going for their dreams only because they don't believe in themselves or don't have the courage to do their best afraid that their best will not be enough. With this project people will know that they are enough and do the best that they can in their jobs and lives. This will generally increase productivity and in turn increase income.

My project entails getting to know yourself and embracing yourself. A person who knows themselves takes the best care of themselves physically, emotionally and mentally. They do the best they can to keep themselves healthy and do their best in everything. My products and services will ensure that people know how awesome they are and they can be if they invest in their well being and tap to their highest potential. They will help people give up unhealthy habits and practices because they will know that they are important and will want to stay away from things that are not good for them. They will take care of themselves the same way they take care of something that they love, and that's all about Aweso-me.

02.04.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

My project is a tool that reminds us to improve ourselves in every way and every chance we get. Education and learning is one way of improving ourselves. This is not only about reading books or following the normal education systems but also learning a skill everywhere you go. I also believe that if kids were taught how to embrace themselves and know themselves at a younger age then they would grow into confident and wholesome beings who do their best in everything that they do. My project will ensure that by making kids affirmation cards, and lessons.
