Kinobere Andrew Marvin (African Child)🌍🇺🇬

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 🇺🇬 The unveiling of Uganda’s crude oil name took me back to 2012, when I joined the country’s oil and gas journey, before moving on from direct employment in the sector in 2017. I remember the green fields and the early work towards what would eventually become the Kingfisher Development Area. More than a decade later, there are rigs, production facilities and a Ugandan product preparing for the international market. As I reflected nostalgically on the small role, I had the privilege of playing in that journey, I was reminded of 1 Corinthians 3:6–7: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” What a powerful lesson about assignment and seasons. We will not always be the ones who complete the vision. Sometimes our assignment is to dream, to plant, to prepare, to build the foundation, or simply to move the vision one step closer to reality. Others will come after us to water, build and carry it forward. What matters is understanding your assignment in your season and doing it faithfully. I am grateful to everyone who has carried Uganda’s oil story across generations, from those who began the journey decades ago to those bringing us closer to first oil today. Above all, I thank God for the privilege of having played my small part in this national story. My hope is that the ultimate measure of success will not simply be the barrels we produce, but the lives transformed, opportunities created and prosperity shared by Ugandans. Different people. Different seasons. Different assignments. One vision👏🏽👏🏽 #PearlSweet #Uganda #OilAndGas #Leadership #Purpose #UgandaOil

𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭: 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐦 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬? Sat down with @MosesMaurice this past Saturday for a conversation I'm still sitting with. Not my title, not my career, not how people see me, but 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲. We talked about being cornered by life, my journey from Islam to Christianity, growing up with 20+ siblings, and raising my two sons. None of it was about becoming someone new. It was about 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲. Thank you, @MosesMaurice , for the invite. 🎙️ #CornerChat #Identity #Purpose

Sometimes, the questions we avoid answering are the ones that matter the most. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐦 𝐈? 𝐀𝐦 𝐈 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈’𝐦 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞’𝐬? Those were some of the questions that came up when I sat down with my good friend @MosesMaurice on Corner Chat, Episode 6. What started as a conversation became a much deeper reflection on identity, purpose, expectations and the pressure we put on ourselves to have life figured out by a certain age. We talked about owning our stories, including the parts we may not always be proud of, because every experience has something to teach us. We also talked about unlearning the pressure to follow a particular timeline and giving ourselves permission to grow at our own pace. But perhaps the biggest question was this: Who are you when you take away the titles, achievements, expectations and labels? If you have ever felt like you don't quite fit the mold or you're still figuring yourself out, this conversation is for you.

For a while now, I've been getting the same message over and over: "Can you mentor me?" Ever since Identity: Lost in History, Found in Purpose came out, that request has only grown louder. People weren't just reading the book, they were reaching out afterward, asking how to actually apply it to their own lives. What started as a handful of conversations here and there quickly became more than I could keep up with one person at a time. So, I sat with a simple question: what if, instead of mentoring people one by one, I brought them all into a room together? That question is where the Identity Mentorship Program came from. And this past Saturday, it stopped being an idea and became real. Our first flagship class brought together people who had been asking for this for a while now, and honestly, watching them show up, ask hard questions, and push past their own expectations reminded me exactly why I said yes to starting this in the first place. To everyone who's been asking to be mentored, thank you for your patience, and thank you for finally being in the room. This is only the beginning. If you've been waiting for your chance, the next class is coming. Keep an eye on asmahaneysaad.com. #IdentityMentorship #Leadership #PurposeDriven #Mentorship

What a joy it is to mentor young people ! Recently at Uzima Chicken, I spent some wonderful time with the girls talking about something close to my heart: 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬, and 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞. We talked a lot about 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬. Mistakes happen, but they are just steppingstone for 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 down the road. We also looked at work a little differently not just as something we do for a paycheck, but as a 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞. It’s about 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩, and 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝. I challenged them with a simple morning question: “𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐦 𝐈 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲?” There's so much pressure on young people to 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲. I wanted to remind them that it is completely okay to 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐱 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬. Trying different things is part of the journey to 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 and 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞. You don't need all the answers today. 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞, 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬, and 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰. My biggest hope is that they walked away feeling 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲𝐬 and 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. A big thank you to Uzima Chicken for having me and for 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞!
