Dear amazing followers, allow me to reintroduce myself. 🌱📚 Many of you know me as Tanaka of Tanaka Farm & Seedlings. A little secret, Tanaka is my son’s name. I’m Miyanda, a Recruiter by profession, I’ve spent over 22 years building my recruitment firm in Zambia. Farming was my happy place. The soil, the seedlings, the conversations, the community, it became a beautiful chapter of my life. Sadly, that chapter was interrupted when the owner of the farm I was renting in Zimbabwe decided, without notice that he needed his land back. It was painful, costly and honestly heartbreaking. I returned to my first love recruitment full time but the dream of creating something meaningful never leaves me. You may have noticed a new X name and a new direction. Welcome to The Curated Chapter Collection, a lifestyle brand built around curated books, beautiful gifts and thoughtful living. And from this journey comes something very close to my heart: The Curated Chapter Reading Initiative a community movement encouraging children, families and adults to swap some cell phone screen time for reading time and rediscover the joy of a good book. So, join me on this new adventure. Let’s learn, laugh, share stories and build a beautiful community just like we did with farming. And one day, when I finally raise enough money to buy my own piece of land you will find me back in my beloved gumboots. New chapter, same Miyanda, different soil.

I enjoyed speaking at the Roundtable Global Network breakfast in Lusaka, Zambia last weekend. They asked me to speak about getting hired in the 21st century, how easy/hard is it to get a job or hired these days.

Snakes in Suits"by Paul Babiak and Dr. Robert D. Hare is one of the most thought provoking books I've read. Have you ever worked with complete "Psychopaths'? As a Recruiter, I speak to professionals daily who aren't leaving their jobs but they're escaping toxic bosses and workplaces. Many even resign without another job, choosing peace of mind over a payslip. Would you: 🟢 Stay in toxic work environment for the money? 🔵 Take a pay cut for a healthier workplace? 🔴 Quit and wait for something better? What has been your experience working in a toxic environment or with a toxic boss or colleagues #TheCorporateMatchmaker #TheCuratedChapterCollection

Parents, be honest... Do you know your child's or teens daily phone screen time? Do you ever check? Have you ever tried swapping just 30 minutes of phone time for 30 minutes of reading a novel, not homework? Many of us grew up loving The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Famous Five and The Secret Seven. Remember those days😅, no mobile phones back then. Could today's children fall in love with books too, or have those days gone forever? I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts. #TheCuratedChapterReadingInitiative #TheCuratedChapterCollection
