✍ Money from Sunlight

In one of Lagos's tangled neighborhoods, "Ama" sat behind the screen of her old phone, watching the green candle rise on a chart for a currency called PEPE. No one in the neighborhood understood what she was doing, even her mother would say:

"Will you ever eat that frog?"

But Ama was not looking at a screen; she was looking at an exit, a window overlooking a world beyond poverty and constant power outages.

By day, she worked as a food vendor, and at night, she learned through YouTube videos about digital currencies, wallets, and blockchain. She started with a small amount sent to her by her aunt from London, but she didn't use the bank. She used a USDT wallet and soon entered the world of P2P.

She wasn't just trading; she began to think like a financial engineer. She created a channel where she explained to the children of her neighborhood how to buy and store currencies, how to beware of scams, and how to plan. She transformed from a sidewalk vendor to a voice heard in digital seminars, advocating for "financial independence that doesn't require permission from anyone."

One day, when PEPE rose suddenly, Ama did not celebrate. She looked at the profits and then calmly said:

"Freedom is not measured by what you earn, but by what you can do when you earn it."

That night, she launched her first project: "Money from Sunlight" — an educational platform teaching girls how to create their own opportunities, not from someone else's money, but from an idea.
