Today, I want to share my journey with Bitcoin Dada.

I had once applied to Bitcoin Dada hoping to be sponsored for the African Bitcoiners Conference, but I didn’t get picked. I let it go and moved on until one day my husband attended the Mauritius African Bitcoiners Conference and came back with customized Bitcoin Dada books and pens from the event. He told me, “Since this is a women based organization, these belong to you.” In that moment, something in me awakened again. I wanted to learn more, to understand this movement and when I finally got picked for the cohort 10, it truly felt like destiny.

The experience has been nothing short of incredible. I have walked through fear, excitement, doubt, and joy all at once while discovering a version of myself I thought I had lost. Bitcoin Dada has given me sisters,women who held my hand, encouraged me, and reminded me to dust myself off, stand tall, and trust who I am becoming. It has exposed me to the real world, teaching me that values must remain intact no matter where I am in life and that even Bitcoin requires self awareness and integrity.

This journey has taught me the importance of my mental health. I have learnt that my mental health matters deeply, and it is okay to feel overwhelmed,there is nothing wrong with that. I have also learnt that it is okay when people don’t fully understand my journey,what matters is that I stay true to myself and keep moving forward. I have learnt to just show up,show up even when I don’t fully understand what’s happening in that moment, show up even when I have justifiable excuses, show up simply because I owe it to myself and to my mission. Understanding my emotions has helped me slow down, breathe, and still show up as the best version of myself, even on difficult days. It has taught me how to carry myself with intention, how to build my personal brand, and why Bitcoin matters deeply for women,women who have been silenced, objectified, excluded from financial spaces, dismissed in policy rooms, and denied platforms to speak about their economic realities. Bitcoin, as decentralized money, is a tool that can transform the fate of women who have endured so much for far too long.

Bitcoin Dada has given me a confidence that fear can no longer defeat. When fear shows up, I now tell it to sit down and tell it "I have work to do." It has taught me how to position myself in the Bitcoin ecosystem, how to help people believe in the mission, how to present my projects, how to engage with every woman with respect, and most importantly, how to work together as a collective force.

This is sisterhood,one that lasts a lifetime.

My biggest “aha moment” was being featured on the Bitcoin Dada page on International Women’s Day. It reminded me of the responsibility I carry and the impact I am destined to make. And trust me, I will make more women learn about Bitcoin. I will help women understand themselves, explore opportunities, and use Bitcoin within their own situations. Together, we will rise, learn, and build. If one sister gets tired, we will pull each other forward.

Thank you, Bitcoin Dada, for the spirit you have planted in me.
This is only the beginning.

It has been such an amazing experience attending the Women of Bitcoin Summit. Listening to different perspectives on Bitcoin has been incredibly eye opening, and one session that really stood out for me was about Bitcoin mining.

For a long time, many people have seen mining as something speculative, but one of the speakers explained it in a way that completely shifted my perspective: mining should be seen as infrastructure.

Bitcoin mining is a way of creating digital value and security for the network, but it also interacts with the physical world in powerful ways. Companies like Gridless are already showing how this can work in Africa. By partnering with small hydro and other renewable energy projects, they are helping bring electricity to underserved communities while using excess power to mine Bitcoin.

In places like Malawi and many other African countries where energy access is still limited, this model can be transformative.

One idea that really stayed with me was how mining converts electricity into different layers of value,

• Electricity → Security
Bitcoin mining turns energy into security for the network by protecting it through proof-of-work.

• Flexibility → Resilience
Mining is one of the most flexible energy users. Unlike many industries, miners can easily power down when electricity is needed elsewhere, which can actually help stabilize energy systems.

• Energy → Trust
Through mining, energy is transformed into a globally verifiable monetary network that anyone can rely on.

Another powerful point was about the criticism that Bitcoin mining wastes energy. In reality, much of Bitcoin mining uses stranded or wasted energy energy that would otherwise never be used because it is too far from demand centers or produced in excess.

Mining can capture that unused energy and convert it into economic value, while also creating open and competitive energy markets.

For me, this session reinforced something important: Bitcoin is not just digital money. It is a system that connects energy, technology, and economic freedom in ways that can unlock real opportunities for communities around the world.

This evening whilst coming from the Hospital,I was deeply touched by something I saw. A young man,a secondary school boy was pushing a young girl in a wheelchair. Their school must be almost a kilometre from where I met them. But what moved me most was how he pushed her with so much joy. He wasn’t tired, he wasn’t complaining, he was full of stories, laughing, and genuinely enjoying helping her.

In that moment, it hit me, this must be a good soul. A supportive soul. One of those rare hearts in our society. He could have chosen to walk with his friends, to chat with other boys or girls, but instead he chose to push this young lady with love and commitment. I know how the back feels after bending for long, how tiring it can be,but he didn’t stop.

And then I remembered the people in our own lives who bent their backs for us. Those who pushed us forward even when they were tired. Those who believed in our dreams and defended us in rooms we weren’t in. Those who said, “Let me check your app,this could be a great Bitcoin app.” Those who left their own comfort to pay school fees for us. Those who saw a job opportunity and immediately thought of us and we got the job. Those who believed in our missions and funded us.

How often do we go back and say, even in a simple prayer, “Lord, thank You, and bless these people”?

A grateful heart is truly a magnet for blessings.
