Excited to Officially release the first bits of our new YouTube series, Becoming The River: Origins of the Hambukushu.

This Historical storytelling project explores the origins and Identity of the Hambukushu through history, migration, and culture. Please check out the fun cinematic History course on my channel๐Ÿ“ข

This extract is from Chapter 3:๐Ÿ‘‡

We meet A rainmaker, A lioness and A son born between worlds.

When Fumu Thinyugu defies matrilineal tradition and names his son as heir, he ignites a conflict that will reshape an entire people. What follows is betrayal, exile, and war; the beginning of the Rain Wars. From this crucible emerges something new:
not just a leader, but the first true formation of the Hambukushu identity.

Got a behind-the-scenes look at how things really move at scale ๐Ÿ‘€ As part of our Masters in Management Experiential Learning Capstone, we visited the Amazon warehouse in Hamburg and learned how operations, strategy, and technology come together to power one of the worldโ€™s biggest companies.

Itโ€™s one thing to read about systems and efficiency and another to see them in motion. Big lessons, great experience. [The robotics ๐Ÿค– and process automation is some of the best I've seen].
