Subject: Milestone 1 Achievement and Progress Update.

I’m pleased to share that we have successfully achieved the first milestone of our project. We’ve onboarded a number of talented artists and recently held a successful event in Kenya, which was met with great enthusiasm and participation. You can view photos from the event and the curated works through the following links:

While we’ve made significant progress, we are currently experiencing a minor backlog in minting the pieces from Uganda due to some previous transactions getting stuck. However, we are actively working to resolve this, and we expect to finalize the minting process for the Ugandas artists this week.

Thank you for your continued support. We’re excited to move forward with the next stages of the project and will keep you updated on our progress.

Hi @sherie-margaretngigi thanks for the updates, do you have livestream link for the Tanzania event (milestone3)?
cc: @thiskittyisgood

I see in the deliverables of onboarding 10 artists to Stacks per event, therefore should be 30 artists.
Anything you can provide to demonstrate that deliverables? I'd love to see their active ongoing engagement in Stacks vs just one-off.
