Stepping Into 2026 With Courage and Craft
One of the things being in this village did to me was to open my eyes to things I have either been ignoring or too afraid to do because I felt I lacked the capacity.
Take for instance, furniture design.
In my place in Enugu, I designed the basic furniture I needed, hired a carpenter to follow my drawings and voila.
But when it comes to telling you that I can do such, I freeze.
I have worried too much about criticisms and rejections about my work from you and colleagues.
I don’t want that life for 2026. Bring your criticisms, okay?
Just be careful with my gentle soul.

Here is one of them.
I call it Mmanya.
🍻Cheers to the festive season we are embarking on.
By the way, I’m working on the construction drawings for the Mmanya and other side-stool/coffee table designs.
