Hi Chomi!

Were you in the legendary #MatricClassOf2025? Congratulations on making it this far🎊 🥳🥳.

Are the not so fun realities of 2026 starting to creep in? Maybe you didn't pass with the greatest marks, maybe you didn't pass at all. Moghel maybe you passed, and you passed really well and now there's just not enough money to send you to the school you want and that, mngani, can be crushing.

It can feel like you're the size of an ant and you just got the whole world dropped on you and you feel it all! Listen, that's a thing… a real thing and mina ngi lana whenever you need me to hold space angithi babes? 🤗🤗🤗

Soo mntase, did you know that YouTube is a whole learning portal? As in, courses you would pay for at top universities around the world, some even taught by esteemed professors with actual factual credentials on YouTube???Chomi as in school fees ke attention ya gago and internet access?

Babe, my questions to you are:

  • What do you love?
  • What makes you happy?
  • What interests you?

There is a course on just about anything!

  • Coding - There are courses on JavaScript, HTML and Python (Babes you could learn to build your own app once you learn how)
  • Business courses ranging from drop shipping, marketing, professional content creation as a service to businesses
  • Photography
  • Cooking
  • Baking
  • Knitting
  • Animation
  • Cyber security and cloud computing

And that's not everything!

Neurodivegents come to the front real quick. Did you know that tech is calling your natural interests and abilities: “cutting-edge” and “what will usher the multi-billion dollar industry forward?” I'm going to need everyone here to lock in.

Big Sis but how do I get certified? Say less. AWS that's Amazon Web Services, yep hun, Amazon ya Jeff Bezos, has a Cloud Computing certification, that allows you to get an entry level job in tech 🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾. Google has tons of courses on Digital Marketing, Cloud Computing. Ai Skills, Coding and they offer certification.

There was a time in life when all this information was incredibly difficult for people to access, and continued hardship was almost always guaranteed. The interwebs changed all that you get.

The question is, are you ready to level up? So next time your Mom says, “Baa phone eo fo fatshe and do something productive!!!” you can smile and calmly and confidently say, “I am.”

So what's the vibes moghel? Januworry or Januwarrior?
