His message was mind the relationship you get in and ask what people want without reaching a point of conflict of interest with those people. Also we shouldn't he pressured on what we see on social media since we don't know what it took those people to acquire and post them.

Happy labour day to all workers. We celebrate the hard work you put in daily at your jobs.
However, to some of us(the youths), this is just a normal day and not a holiday day simply because they are unemployed.

However, I have a message to students going back to school and campus. Normally, we study well so that we can get jobs, which has reduced the entrepreneurship spirit leading to joblessness. It is time we go to school and study with an aim of acquiring knowledge to work in a job rather than to get a job.

Happy labour day.

Black monday musicals of 2019. It is about the student riots of 1985 during the Moi's regime when university students decided to fight for democracy and freedom to be heard. It is a perfect reflection of the attitude patriots should have to fight in their struggles and bring change to their country.

Our today is Mae Jemison, the first African woman to travel in space! 👩🏿‍🚀🚀✨ We’re celebrating her legacy today for .
- - -
Mae Jemison was born in Decatur, Alabama on October 17, 1956, and moved to Chicago at the age of three. Her father was a maintenance worker, her mother was an elementary school teacher, and her uncle introduced her to the world of science at an early age.
✨✨✨
“Growing up in the south side of Chicago, I was just like every other kid. I loved space, stars and dinosaurs… It was the Apollo era and everybody was thrilled about space, but I remember being really really irritated that there were no women astronauts. People tried to explain it to me, but I didn’t buy it… I could see myself in space when others couldn’t. I had to learn not to limit myself because of others' limited imagination.”
✨✨✨
Jemison graduated from Chicago's Morgan Park High School in 1973 and entered Stanford University at the age of 16, graduating with degrees in chemical engineering and African American studies in 1977. She received a Doctor of Medicine degree from Cornell University in 1981, and after working as a general practitioner in Los Angeles, joined the Peace Corps, serving in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
✨✨✨
On June 4, 1987, Jemison became the first African-American woman to be admitted into NASA’s astronaut training program. On September 12, 1992, Jemison made history by flying into space aboard the Endeavour.
✨✨✨
Since resigning from NASA, Jemison has founded two technology companies and the non-profit Dorothy Jemison Foundation for Excellence which designs and implements STEM education experiences.

Our Story

We have incredibly gifted youth who are confronted by incredible opportunities disguised as problems.

We, young people, are coming of age. And we are many. We face an acute scarcity of economic opportunities and a divided nation.

At Hashtag Magazine, we figure that this problem is mainly economic. We approach it by showing young people that they can make a living by solving these problems and create jobs and prosperity.

Hashtag Magazine confronts these problems in the following ways:
