I'm planning a small group trip to India later this year. I don't have a huge social media following and I also don't have a lot of money to spend to market. I would like a maximum of 12 people to attend. The goal is to get custom clothes made from fabric picked in a textile village, have a spa day, see the museums, palaces etc,. Like a modern Renaissance person experience. Am I being delusional?🥲

I don't see much activity on it, but that could mean less competition. Should probably move quickly 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

I always see travel organizers put in their ads that you leave with friends, but I'm curious if anyone ever really does. I've never traveled in a random group before (mostly because I'm really independent and mostly travel solo), but if group trips are where genuine friendships can be made, I might join. Also, how do you chose a group trip to join?

Also, how do you plan for fashion? Is it just a day spent shopping? Is it niche fashion experiences? Share!

For instance, everyone's doing the tailored clothes in Hoi An, Vietnam now, but it's actually pretty poorly made clothes. Super rushed. There are a lot less niche things because people just want to tick things off a box. Do people still care about niche things available where they travel? Like I walked into this textile shop in Vientiane, Laos randomly and ended up getting a full on tour of the looms with the owner and hearing her lived experience in textile around the world. It was such a treat.

What's a niche thing you did that you found out about on your own that was really special from your trip?

Do you feel prepared for the professional work? Are you looking to move for work? How are you feeling after this new accomplishment? Especially if you're in the sub and you're not American, Canadian or European.

This post is coming from all the economy pages I'm seeing on Youtube mainly but it's definitely bled into Threads, Instagram, Tiktok, etc. I believe it's more profitable on Youtube though. It's insidious. Like they're telling you this to "help" you navigate the near future. No, they're lining their pockets with the millions of views. At what point does ethics matter? Are we not concerned about raising a generation terrified of everything, including their shadow?

This one is personal because I'm bootstrapping at the moment and it feels so scary sometimes. I swing from excited and empowered to a raging idiot within minutes. So, for founders/solopreneurs who've done, what was the process like? How long did it take? What advice would you give.

Ok, so a lot of startups sometimes bleed money in the beginning, especially in marketing. Thing is, they do need help. My question is: is it worth the potential savings to hire outside your country? I don't see this being talked about enough in these spaces. If you've hired outside your country, I would like to hear from you

This might come off antagonist, but let me cook. Times are changing. Opportunities are more competitive. Cost of living is rising. I think the easygoing "cyah badda" or "mi nuh like problem" attitude holds us back. We end up not reaching for our highest potential; just resting on good enough. I've offered free mentorship to people, and they are happy at first, then you can see the energy change when they're expected to put in effort to actually change their lives. Idk, I actually think maybe Gen X was putting in more effort than millennial and Gen Z.

1. Ok so the north node in aquarius (my nodal return in the 1st house)
2. My jupiter return in leo (in the 7th house)
3. Uranus in Gemini (my Mars in Gemini is in my 5th house)
4. And Sagittarius lilith in my 11th house (is lilith return really a thing though?)
5. Plus all the aries fire energy in my 3rd

So all together I have 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 11th house activated this year. I'm scared to be excited. Should I allow myself a little excitement as a treat 🥹? 2025 was so hard 😭

Who are some African Youtubers or content creators that you feel portrait your country in a positive light? Drop them!

While growing my business, I'm so strapped for cash. I have almost 100 sign ups, I see people are interested and I actually want to serve my global community. I just want a part time remote job, while I grow, but it feels so difficult. My background is marketing, but I can't properly market without funding. Any advice?
