Two graduations in one week 🎓

I graduated two classes in one week, and I’m still catching up on sleep.

On Thursday, 22 October, my Alamtara students presented their final campaigns. Two days later, my HUSAC students at Hormuud University presented theirs.

From 17 to 22 October, both final projects ran simultaneously. My phone became a queue of team leaders sending scripts, content calendars, and posts for approval. All after my day job at Nasiye.

I don’t recommend it. I’d do it again.

Alamtara: a brand that didn’t exist

Over six weeks, I taught social media marketing to 50+ students. I wrote every lesson, with practical work on real platforms.

For the final project, I divided the class into seven teams and gave them a brand that didn’t exist: Alam Creators. All seven teams shared its Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok accounts.

In seven days, they produced 57 pieces of content, reached 1 million views, and gained 1,800 followers from zero.

One team targeted 5,000 views and 3% engagement. They achieved 32,381 views and 7.6%.

Every student presented on 22 October.

HUSAC: something real

I’ve mentored digital marketing at Hormuud University’s Skills Advancement Centre since May 2026. This was my second class there, graduating on 24 October.

Two classes. Two graduations. One exhausting, rewarding week.

Thank you to Alamtara and HUSAC management, team leads, and Abdirahman Somali, who co-mentored at Alamtara.

Congratulations, everyone. Now go post something.
