JHUB 2020!!

Phew! 2019 is coming to an end, in with 2020.
We have just done a decade! This year has been such a vibe, a
lot of lessons learnt, growth, definition, opportunity, growing
pains, success, situationships and relationships, all in all, a great
year.
It’s been an even greater year for Jhub, we have seen people
come and go, dreams materialize, new partnerships formed, old
ones grown, new projects, great traction and set the space for
the next decade.
Personally, this year came with some of my lowest and highest
moments, things that could go wrong did, balanced with
answered prayers.
My theme for 2019 was ‘Intentional and Deliberate.’ I set out to be
very deliberate and intentional with every engagement, project,
relationship, mentorship as well as the people I chose to support.
However, I didn’t realize that God had His own definition for
“intentional and deliberate” I found myself having aha! Moments,
going hmmm! argh! In awe of His ingenuity and precision. It’s
funny how many times we think we are in control, No dear friends
I can attest that He is in control. The many times He sent help,
even when it seemed too good to be true, He sent help. He
opened doors, closed a lot of them to this day. His idea of de-
cluttering is impeccable and I trust His process and ways. I had
one resolution, only one and that is to travel, what more can I
say… Let’s just say I have to get a new passport because my
current one is full, Every destination has had meaning and
definition, a reminder of what my purpose is; to ‘serve’.
As I end the year I can safely say; I am ending it strong!
2020 is Bold, an amplified ‘Intentional and Deliberate’ and
restoration. #Bold.
2020 is ambitious and scary but given the happenings and results
of 2019, I know 2020 will be an amazing year. I am stretching my
hard limits, doing the unthinkable and defining the future. The
next 10 years will be an exciting journey for young people. This is
the decade history will be written and young people will be the
authors, starring and the main focus of the story. My role is to be
that person that creates a pathway and an enabler to ensure
young people occupy spaces, lead and change history. This is a
life-changing decade.Let’s meet in 2020.
