I don't actually have an Instagram handle. My professional focus and being pschologist in Nedjo keep me deeply engaged in the physical community rather than the digital one. I prefer building 'human connections' face-to-face whether that's in the IDPs and the host community, managing cases where I work or at the local hubs where I plan to launch this project. For me, the most important 'feed' is the one that happens in real life through direct service and conversation. But after the grant, I will post the success opening the platform. Thank you.
As a humanitarian detective with a psychology degree, Tinsae works to restore humanity in disrupted communities, deeply understanding the nuances of addiction and social dynamics. With the $500, Tinsae will curate 'Fruit-to-Flavor' pop-up bars in bustling drinking spots, utilizing local Honeys, Mangoes, Avocados, and Papayas to craft premium non-alcoholic mocktails that mirror the social drinking experience. The funds will cover the purchase of local produce and professional blending tools, turning these fruits into sophisticated alternatives that offer a healthy, nutrient-rich 'kick.' By offering these beverages for free, Tinsae aims to spark conversations that challenge addiction's grip, proving the community and nature's inherent gifts are a powerful catalyst for change.
