Month Two: Discipline, Cost, and the Work Behind the Vision
If you’re new here, Month One laid the groundwork—exploring alignment, Africa, London, and the spiritual foundation behind the work.

Month Two moves us out of orientation and into practice.
This month is about what happens after clarity arrives—when the vision is no longer abstract and the work becomes daily, repetitive, and unglamorous. When alignment starts asking something of you in return.
If Month One asked, “Who am I becoming?”
Month Two asks, “What does it actually take to live this?”
This is the month where discipline replaces motivation.
Where consistency matters more than inspiration.
Where the cost of alignment—financial, emotional, spiritual—becomes visible.
I’ll be writing about:
what building African-first work actually requires behind the aesthetic
the daily realities of creative life in London
the patience and structure needed to build something sustainable
and how to stay spiritually grounded while doing long-term work
This is not a pivot away from creativity or spirituality.
It’s an invitation to see how they function in real life.
The work will feel quieter this month. More practical. More embodied. Less about the announcement of becoming—and more about the responsibility of it.
If you’re still here, it tells me something important:
you’re not just interested in the idea of alignment—you’re willing to sit with the work of it.
We’re moving from vision to execution.
From clarity to commitment.
From calling to craft.
Welcome to Month Two.
The work continues.
