Dear Reader...
In 2021, I embarked on a transformative journey through the Prophetic Activist programme with Christian Aid, where our mission was to advocate for Climate Finance. It was during this experience that a profound realization struck me: the stark lack of accessible opportunities and information for Africans.
​
This insight extended beyond climate advocacy; I recognized a pressing need for trustworthy information, especially among young adults within the church community. The scarcity of reliable guidance was causing disillusionment, robbing them of hope for a promising future.
​
Inspired by the writings of Paul in scripture, who imparted wisdom and direction to the people, I resolved to fill this void. I began sharing my thoughts, reflections, and ideas, sparking a journey that has consistently gained momentum.
​
A significant turning point occurred just a week ago when a TikTok video I posted went unexpectedly viral. Although I had experienced viral moments before, this one held a deeper resonance. Prompted by a distressing article from the Telegraph about Zimbabweans facing abuse and scams upon arriving in the UK, I felt a profound sense of empathy and responsibility.
​
This heart-wrenching revelation spurred the creation of Modern Letters—a movement dedicated to restoring hope, one word at a time. Our initial focus revolves around three vital categories: offering support to the church, aiding the African community, and collaborating with leaders and organizations committed to addressing culture, justice, and faith.
​
In this inaugural launch, our primary objective is to provide essential resources to Africans, empowering them with the skills necessary to secure better employment opportunities. Through Modern Letters, we aim to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of those yearning for hope and a brighter future.
