My Growth Journey -The Books That Made Me

Hello dear friend,  Welcome to 2022. I hope you are looking forward to a more fulfilled year, at least more than the last. A few undesirable realities are still with us and will continue to be a part of our lives in 2022. The Covid-19 pandemic is one glaring reality that has innevitably come with us to 2022. I hope you and your loved ones are safe. I start this year with a lot of gratitude, because feel I achieved what I set out to do last year under the circumstances. For the most part of the 2021, I felt that I was in control of my destiny. And that is not a usual thing to say nowadays, given the uncertainity that has been a big factor of our lives.

As we move towards the last quarter of 2021 and welcome the autumn, here is a quick look at what the summer was like at the Africa cultural Promotion Center (ACPC). Welcome to my first blog as managing director of ACPC. The Birth of ACPC At the end of April, I bid farewell to my colleagues after 13.5 years at Zein Childcare. I also closed my sole proprietorship company Mollynn Cares that have been running since 2011. I made these two bold steps because I want to focus on serving the African community in The Netherlands and the rest of the diaspora. This led to the birth of the Africa Cultural Promotion Center BV (ACPC) which was incorporated in May in The Hague.
