This is really impressive! One honest and important piece of guidance for your next step. Right now the winnable issue is framed broadly, strengthen collaboration and identify projects across housing, food security, digital privacy, and environmental challenges. That’s really a list of themes rather than a single winnable issue, and it’s the most common trap new circles fall into. A winnable issue works best when it’s one narrow, local, concrete problem your circle can actually complete and see a result on within a few months, something you can point at and say “we did that.”

So at your next meetup, I’d push hard to narrow from those themes down to one specific problem, in one part of Calabar, with a clear finish line. Pick the one your members are most fired up about and that you can realistically deliver, and start there. One visible win will do more for the circle’s momentum than four broad ambitions running at once.

Really promising beginning, Alex. Shout if you need anything from my side
