About Destiny

My Story

For a long time, I lived in my head.

 

Not because I didn't have anything to say, but because I had too much—ideas, strategies, stories, and systems that could help people, especially in Africa, break free from cycles of uncertainty.

 

I knew technology was the future.

 

I know technology has the power to help people break free from the stronghold of self-limitation.

 

I knew storytelling had power.

 

And I knew that transformation wasn't just about tools—it was about the mindset to use them well.

 

But I waited, over-planned, and told myself, "When the time is right…" until I realized that the time was never going to feel perfect. So I started with what I had, from where I was.

 

What began with mentoring a single young developer who went from fearing his potential to securing international clients within months, evolved into something much bigger. As I worked with more individuals—each with unique challenges but similar barriers—a pattern became clear.

 

Africa isn't short on potential.

 

We're short on bridges—the tools, resources, and mindsets that connect where we are to where we can be.

 

This realization birthed my ecosystem of purpose: FluideMinds, where I empower people for the future of work through skills and mindset transformation; Uptouch Media Labs, where I help brands and business tell stories that matter using innovative software applications; and Uptouch Cleaning Services, where I create employment opportunities that fund dreams and futures.

 

These are three different ventures united by a single mission: building bridges to possibility.

 

The people I serve don't just need hype.

They need hope, how-tos, and the heart to keep going.

I don't believe in overnight success.

I believe in showing up consistently, with clarity and courage:

"Start scared. Learn fast. Build boldly."

My name is Destiny, and I'm here to help you stop waiting and start becoming, through technology, storytelling, and self-transformation.

 

Bridge-Building Through Three Pillars

My Journey

My path from a cyber cafe operator to a software engineer with international success wasn't linear. Like many transformative journeys, it was filled with obstacles that became opportunities.

 

After losing my mother at a young age and taking on responsibility for my siblings, I learned to maximize limited resources—borrowing laptops at night to teach myself programming while working during the day.

 

The CSS Box Model challenged I faced early on in my career nearly derailed my entire journey. For a week, this fundamental concept seemed impossible to grasp. I was ready to quit until I discovered that persistence through discomfort is the price of transformation.

 

These experiences shaped my approach to both business and mentorship: practical solutions grounded in real-world challenges, not just theoretical ideals.

 

Today, I bring this perspective to every interaction, whether I'm developing software solutions, crafting brand narratives, or guiding others through their transformation journeys.
