How did Vaisya unlearn communication? Vaisya lingered on the video call, watching her best friend Rachel fidget with her necklace — a nervous habit she’d recognized from college.

I was jealous. My friend, Benta, told me, “My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. I don’t want a gift. I just want you to save Kshs.200,000 for an international trip.” (That’s around $2,000). All the while, I had depleted all my savings and had about $20 to my name. Red cheek …

Who in their right mind wakes up at 4 a.m. for a book club? Well, apparently, I do—at least, I did this one time. Detention’s second session took place on Monday, January 13th, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. CST. But for me, living in a time zone nine hours ahead, that meant a 4:00 a.m. wake-up …

Masterminds are for people like me. Let’s see if they’re for you too. I’ve recently volunteered to help administrate Story Luck’s Slacker’s Mastermind and wanted to learn more about masterminds in general. I’ve discovered masterminds are powerful communities where people come together to share knowledge, challenge each other, and grow. They attract a wide range …
