Joy Jenda, A Black Pearl

She is a freelance journalist, content developer and lover of coffee. She is also a fan of literature and enjoy writing. In her spare time she writes music and poetry. She considers herself a philocalist.

Joy Jenda, she is originally from Malawi. She was born in Malawi but her childhood and early teens were split between Malawi and South Africa.

Joy Jenda said, "I see beauty is everything and probably should be dubbed the goddess of optimism (lol) seeing i spread it quite a bit. On a serious note however, I genuinely love encouraging people and enjoy seeing them become better at what
they do".


She recently completed her tertiary education with the University of Malawi. As part of my final year project, she decided to create a magazine called Black Pearl.


The magazine aimed to showcase women across the African continent that are impacting their generation and blazing trails that others can follow.


The whole process, from information gathering to final compilation, was like
unearthing a gold mine of awe inspiring women.

She said, "I had such a wonderful time
learning of the sheroes we have across the continent. From their stories I learnt that
resilience, hard work, excellence and faith in God can take you places. I am excited
about the future and what it holds for the 21st century African woman".

Her best quote.

“It should also be noted that even today, humans have a potential for skills and symbolic thought that is probably never, in any of us, fully exploited. We could learn languages, aspects of mathematics, crafts, or sporting skills that we do not in fact learn. We are endowed with considerably more potential than we can use in mere lifetime"

- Michael C. Corballis

Joy Jenda is inspirational to other girls, since she uses her abilities and potentials to lift other young girls up. We call her "Black Pearl"

People and Technology

For the long time that I have been experiencing the change in all aspects of life even cultural, I also experience the change of technology time to time. Actually technology has been advancing to simplify activities done in the world. Do people change with the technology changes or we all somewhere observing technological changes but we never change? More than 3 billion people around the world using social media every month. Social media has taken the large part to influence people move with the technology, since it started, it has been a essential piece of our business marketing strategy, connect people with their customers. It allows people to reach others logically, regionally, nationally and even internationally. For social media having many users, does it mean people move with technology in other areas too? Technology has been introduced in many sectors, but do people apply them too? Do they have influence as social media has to people? Technology is an assemblage of practices and...

Hiking Day at Uluguru Mountains: A lot of reasons to conserve

Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, the Uluguru Mountains stand tall and proud, beckoning adventurers with their lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking panoramic views. As an avid nature enthusiast, I embarked on a hiking day at Uluguru Mountains, seeking solace from the bustling city life and an opportunity to reconnect with the pristine beauty of the natural world.    It was not a first time, and surely it will not be a last time. BUT, little did I know that this expedition would prove to be a transformative journey, both physically and spiritually.       The Ascent Begins With my backpack packed and a heart full of anticipation, I set foot on the trailhead around 10am. The air was crisp, and the sweet aroma of the surrounding vegetation infused my senses, drew my attention, that, it was time, time to get far and reconnect with the most beautiful and tiresome activity that am attracted to, accompanied by an experienced guide, not in such, but t...

Developing a Personal Mantra

Its been a long long long time since we were here!  Anyways, happy new year 2025!  I’m looking forward to sharing more stories, reflections, and snippets of daily life here. Come to "sharing", last year I got to hear a thing about "mantra" from a friend and a mentor, and this is what I firstly need to share before we dive deep in 2025. Mantras have a way of anchoring our thoughts and guiding our actions. As I approached 2025, I felt the need for a guiding principle that would not only inspire me but also provide a framework for how I navigate the year. That’s how I arrived at my mantra: Intentional Progress . This article shares my journey of developing this mantra and how it can shape my actions in the year ahead. The Importance of a Mantra A personal mantra is more than just a phrase; it’s a compass that aligns your actions with your values and goals. It serves as a reminder to stay focused and intentional, especially when life becomes overwhelming. For me, a mant...
