Hey there! I'm Feli, a curious soul with a PhD who's always been fascinated by the intricacies of life and learning. Growing up in the vibrant landscapes of Kenya, I was surrounded by a rich tapestry of cultures and languages, which shaped my love for understanding and connecting with people from all walks of life.
Education was my playground; from the dusty chalkboards of local schools to the prestigious halls where I earned my doctorate, each step was a journey of discovery. My childhood was filled with the joy of books and the thrill of debate, often leading to spirited discussions that stretched into the night.
One of the unique aspects of where I live is the communal spirit. Here, life's milestones are celebrated collectively, from weddings to harvests, teaching me the value of community and resilience. This ethos helped me navigate through personal challenges, like when I had to balance my academic pursuits with family responsibilities, teaching me that with determination and support, any goal is within reach.
I don't have my own business, but I'm passionate about innovation and creativity, often finding myself lost in the world of ideas, pondering over what could be. My love for culture isn't just academic; I enjoy traditional storytelling and dance, which are not just hobbies but a way to keep our heritage alive.
As for the future, I'm excited to see what the next generation dreams of. While I don't have children of my own, I'm surrounded by young minds eager to explore paths from technology to conservation, reflecting the dynamic spirit of our times.
In my downtime, you might find me engaging in a rather unique pastime - I collect and study local proverbs, each one a nugget of wisdom passed down through generations. It's my way of connecting with the past while looking forward to what's next.
That's a bit about me - always learning, always connecting!
Hello, backers! I'm excited to share with you the vision behind my venture:
What goods or services do you provide?
We specialize in creating educational content that bridges cultural gaps through storytelling. Our primary product is a series of interactive digital books and workshops that explore Kenyan folklore, history, and contemporary issues. We also offer cultural immersion experiences, both virtually and in-person when feasible, where participants can engage with local artisans, storytellers, and educators.
Why are these goods or services useful or in demand?
There's a growing global interest in authentic cultural narratives, especially as people seek to understand diverse perspectives in an increasingly interconnected world. Our services help educational institutions, cultural enthusiasts, and travelers to engage with Kenyan culture in a meaningful way. This isn't just about tourism or entertainment; it's about fostering global citizenship, cultural preservation, and educational enrichment.
Why did you choose this kind of business?
My passion for education and culture has always been at the core of my life's work. Growing up in Kenya, I saw firsthand how stories can shape minds and communities. I chose this business to amplify these narratives on a larger scale, ensuring they are not lost in the sands of time but instead, celebrated and understood globally. It's also a way to give back to my community by creating opportunities for local talents and preserving cultural heritage.
What are your typical costs and revenue?
Costs: Our main expenses include content creation (paying storytellers, writers, and digital artists), technology (for digital platforms), marketing, and operational costs like travel for community engagement.
Revenue: We generate income through sales of digital books, subscription fees for educational platforms, fees from workshops, and profits from cultural tours. Currently, our model shows a promising growth trajectory with increasing interest in our unique offerings.
How do you use the profits?
Reinvestment: A significant portion goes back into content development and expanding our digital infrastructure to reach more people.
Community and Staff: We aim to support local artists and educators by providing them with better platforms and compensation.
Future Projects: We are looking into creating physical cultural centers where people can experience Kenyan culture firsthand, which requires substantial investment.
Personal: While I don't have children, I do support educational initiatives for underprivileged youth. Any personal use of profits would be towards furthering my education or cultural studies to enhance our offerings.
By supporting this venture, you're not just investing in a business but in a movement to educate, connect, and preserve the rich tapestry of Kenyan culture. Your funds will directly help in scaling our operations, enriching our content, and making these cultural experiences accessible to a broader audience. Thank you for considering being part of this journey!
