Yesterday I Twitter blasted, okay spammed he he he he, all my Zambian followers and those I follow to invite them to Startup Junction's first Startup Hour. As a company part of Project Cascade, my company Purple Tembo is co-sponsoring the event with C1rca 1964. As a passionate entrepreneur with a start up myself, this was a no brainer. Personally, it is really important for me to engage with people from all walks of life, in all fields, as to continue to grow personally and professionally, I believe interaction, skills transfer and knowledge sharing are paramount to perpetuate evolution. Remember keep growing up, don't grow up he he he as I have said before here and here.
While spamming I started a conversation with one of my followers, Charles Chitundu. When you write, letting your thoughts and words float in the ether, you only hope that people read and actually take something out of it, while wondering if your humour resonates with others, bringing them the comic relief you intend: I am a devotee to the school of "Laughter is the best medicine". Though I tackle serious issues on this blog, I also want it to reflect my equally silly side that balances out the intellectual side. It is important to be rounded methinks. My favourite part of the blog is actually the Nonsense tag (which weirdly enough still hasn't overtaken the World Cup tag that started this blog off in 2010!). I feel that the happier and carefree side of me has been in umbra lately, due to the specter of the dark side of uncertainty constantly looming overhead as I continue to fudge my way through establishing my business and coping with the dirty 30s, as a single woman, in a chauvanist society, that is still unaware of, and/ or has no idea how to deal with the both latent and blatant mysogyny that pervades every corner of our nation. I have blogged about this recently here and here.
I will leave Twitter to best tell the tale and enjoy the video at the end telling you why you should turn up for @StartupJunct #StartUpHr. Also follow @MatthewGrollnek, @PurpleTembo, me at @whoops_c, @c1rca1964, and @MsKkj to join in convo if you can't make it :). (And excuse my shifty eyes, we did so many takes I wanted to make sure I didn't miss my cue as I kept interrupting Matt. Shameful seeing as I am meant to be the professional!)

@charlyoficial92 at the time it was not funny, esp when I was escorted out like a criminal, and all the money I had was taken by flashmob!— Ngosa Chungu (@whoops_c) September 24, 2013
@charlyoficial92 @kellvinace right now don't have time to write a book even if I wanted to. Too daunting, having trouble blogging regularly!— Ngosa Chungu (@whoops_c) September 24, 2013
