I’m Munyah Griezmann, an engineering student and I am graduating with a BEng in Mechanical Engineering in 2026. My dream is to join SpaceX and at the same time pursue my Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering and Space systems or Electrical and Electronics, with focus on Avionics.
I’m passionate about Aerospace Engineering, propulsion systems (I even took Turbomachinery and Fluid Mechanics classes), reusable rockets, re-entry dynamics, Internet of Things, mechanical design engineering, space systems, Mars colonization, and the multi-planetary future. I believe in the vision and I want to help build it.
I’m driven, creative, and committed. As a team member, I bring enthusiasm, engineering discipline, and a deep belief in the power of space exploration to shape humanity’s destiny.
Please consider me for an opportunity at SpaceX. 🙏 Matendwa Shumba

🙏Thank you for allowing me to tell our story of finding our courage @polinapompliano
"There are journeys that you choose, and there are journeys that choose you."
@PastorEvanLive was an ordinary man facing extraordinary hardship—until one video changed his life and ignited a nationwide fight for justice.
His #ThisFlag movement shook a dictatorship, proving that courage isn’t about being fearless, but about speaking out despite the fear.

The over dependency on American platforms Apple's App Store and Google PlayStore once again coming to bite the rest of the world
Think about this, whether you like or don't like Tik Tok, they're creators worldwide who are about to lose their source of income, just because American politicians don't have control of Tik Tok
America is like that kid on the playground who owns the football, but can't really play. So when his team is getting battered, throws a fit, demands his ball
Americans of late have been outperformed by the Chinese, this was the case with Huawei, which was threatening their golden child Apple's iPhone. You can also see it, in the EVs market with Tesla facing a big challenge from Chinese manufacturers
Despite American social media platforms copying everything about Tik Tok, they failed to attract users, due to Tik Tok's superior algorithm. And what's the American response?
Sell it to us or we ban it. Why should the Chinese government spy on the rest of the world instead of us? It's really pathetic how the US has fallen in technological advances to China, that they now resort to censorship which they've always criticized China for

This guy sold his company to Facebook for $30 million, but he regretted it.
Just a few months after the acquisition, Facebook shut down the company.
Here's what went wrong:

In 1998, Google and Yahoo started the biggest war in corporate history.
Yahoo tried to destroy Google with a ruthless $3 Billion takeover.
Google's response? A business masterclass I can't believe hasn't been studied before.
Here's what happened: 🧵

Everyone laughed when Google bought a 22-month-old startup for $50 Million...
Now, that "startup" has 3.9 BILLION users.
It makes more money than Snapchat, Airbnb and Uber COMBINED.
Here's how a "tiny" purchase now powers half the world: 🧵

5) And for Zimbabwe to resolve its economic problems we need to acknowledge and accept the mistakes of the past and make an audit trail, assess the current state, and re-launch. But in that backdrop, no re-launch will succeed without a new national culture convention.
Zimbabwe is in dire need of a new national culture: The Software of Mind in every individual, household, community, region, and statehood. We need to download the existing national culture that is affected by a virus and re-load a new national culture that re-deploys power back to the communities and households.
National culture is what makes us functional as a nation.

4) 🇿🇼 *2009- ZANU PF IS SAVED BY THE COMING OF MDC...GNU* In his mid-year budget, Finance Minister Tendai Biti, appointed in February as part of the unity government, announces the local currency will be demonetised, saying he is “putting a tombstone on the grave of the Zimbabwe dollar”.
🇿🇼 *2013 – In March 2013,* concern grows as Zimbabwe slips into deflation. 2014 – RBZ authorises use of a dozen currencies to trade alongside the dominant US dollar. The currencies include the Indian rupee, the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan. The bond coin is introduced, as a means of ending the shortage of small change.
🇿🇼 *Mugabe* sensationally announces that 15 billion USD worth of diamonds cannot be accounted for
🇿🇼 *2015 – ZANU PF COMES AGAIN ON THE PICTURE* The Zimdollar is finally demonetised, with depositors getting US$5 for every 175,000,000,000
,000,000 (that’s 175 quadrillion) Zimbabwe dollars held. Each 250 trillion Zimdollars gets $1.
🇿🇼 *2016 – INTRODUCTION OF BOND NOTE TO EASY CHANGE.* The RBZ announced it would launch a bond note, which would be at par with the US dollar. The bank calls it an export incentive, a deliberate twist of PR meant to ease fears in an economy still traumatised by memories of 2008. It is months before the first notes appear.
🇿🇼 *2017 – US DOLLAR DISAPPEARS FROM THE MARKET.* Bond notes and US dollars start disappearing from the market. Government spending is rising, fuelling inflation. There is widespread black market where the Bond is alleged to be siphoned from RBZ by some cronies in Zanu PF. In September, consumers go panic buying after rumours of shortages. Prices rise foreign currency shortages deepen. Inflation, once again, is back on the march.
And then.
🇿🇼 *2023* The gold Mafia documentary highlights how the Zimbabwe government syphons gold out of the country through underhanded deals
