A brighter digital future starts when individuals have access to the right tools, skills, and support.

This embodies this year’s Digital Inclusion Week theme, “Sustain, Empower, Evolve.” Mrs. Favor came to Inspiredu while rebuilding her life after a kidney transplant and looking for a way forward. As she worked to support herself and build a business, Inspiredu helped her gain technology and digital skills to turn her ideas into reality. Through City of Refuge and Inspiredu, Mrs. Favor gained access to technology and participated in workshops to build practical digital skills. Owning her own device transformed her perspective on what is achievable. With greater confidence and the right tools, she began researching, refining her ideas, and taking concrete steps to realize her vision. That journey ultimately led to the creation of Oasis Holistic Lifestyle LLC, where Favor launched her first culinary creation: Organic Azuki Bean Soup with Coconut Milk and Probiotics. What began as an idea has now grown into something tangible. Mrs. Favor has participated in three health fairs, gathered more than 170 customer comments and reviews, and is preparing to bring her products to customers at the Serenbe Farmers’ Market. However, the most significant impact of the experience extends beyond her new business. With her newfound skills and confidence, Mrs. Favor rediscovered a sense of possibility and the power to take more control of her future. She recognizes the importance of practical digital skills and believes they can empower others to gain confidence and advance in their lives. Mrs. Favor’s story highlights that a fresh start begins with access to essential tools and the confidence to utilize them. Whether rebuilding, shifting careers, exploring new opportunities, or seeking direction, digital inclusion can turn potential into tangible progress.
