Liya’s Captured Words

I am learning the balchatta and all the clattatta this week 😂😂😂. Expect salsa song recs.

Yeeeee

I saw the building Why am I not heading there? You are nursing your poisoned bottle; We grew from it. You defend your soil, refusing to be clean. Blood is your story, But it can go past you. You need to see it now: We are stable here.

The sky was telling me a secret today. Listen 🎶

I think I should do café reviews 😂. I got introduced to Feresula a week ago. It is a vibe. I'll be nursing this Americano for hours.

I am just really, really proud. We just started talking with Mike. We went to the same high school, and I am just finding out. I am very happy—more like, here is another example of how things can work! Not because of the grant, but because he had that determination to work through the hard time. That grit and purpose is the hardest and best gift one can give themselves. I am so happy for you, Mike. Celebrate this moment and keep on going. 😊😊

I almost lost everything this year. Not “stressed about deadlines” losing everything. My dad. My family. Everything I’ve been building. There were nights I genuinely didn’t know if RAVN would survive the month. But my cofounder and I kept building anyway. Through the doubt, uncertainty, and nights when nothing seemed to work. Today, I’m incredibly grateful to share that RAVN has been accepted into Antler. $400K in funding, backed by one of the world’s leading venture builders, alongside companies like Lovable, Airalo, Reebelo, and Tactiq. To everyone who watched us build this from the beginning, thank you. This wasn’t luck or a guarantee. We kept building long before there was anything to celebrate. Most importantly, I’m grateful to God. He never left us. We’ve come a long way. We’re just getting started.

Can you believe it is already the second day of the new year?! As a licensed professional, Liya, I recommend a healthy amount of solo dance parties in the morning. Good morning, Melkam Ken😊🫶

Ena, for the guy friends... you know who you are 😅... who said they would be making the doro wot and cooking for tomorrow. Send the pics, eshi?!! I have skills to suffice for now. Do not ask questions. I like the kitchen occasionally. You ask too many questions, demo.😂

God 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 This is from someone I was so afraid I disappointed because of the decisions I made in my life. Someone I looked up to a lot. And I could not even follow because I was that distressed by it, and she texts me 😭😭😭😭. Thank you, God 😭😭

Oh my Godddd she looks so pretty. She is here btw. Hey mom 😂

Don't want this day to end😭. Sweet enough for the day

Plus, I have to say, where do they get the confidence? 😂 They took over my laptop, my phone, and took off my glasses. 😂😂 They tried to call their dad on my phone. Get me some of that shit for this year, please. 😂😂😂

This generation!!! A 5-minute interaction with two cute little sisters, ages 7 and 4. They want to grow up to be TikTok influencers!! So cute. Then, after looking at my nails, they came back talking to their family about the price!! Then one them she tried to tickle me so I could do her nails right now. She proceeded to try to look into my bag for nail polish. This moxy....what ingredient did I miss growing up?😂😂 I love 'em already, but how can I ever handle them for hours every day😂😂😂

Booklet update: Too much coffee on a high-protein, low-fat breakfast and hours of fun with friends was enjoyable, but not ideal for the brain. However, I am still back at it with focus, and a topic has been chosen; the outline is coming together. It will have the natural “Liya, where are you going with this idea?” style... that is the best part in my opinion 😂. I like the long anecdotes and the introduction to the topic. All in all, feeling glad, Temesgen. Yeeee 😊😊😊😊

How about a love poem for this beauty?! Coffeeeee coffeeee you light up my eyesssss😂😂😂😂
