With my friend Giacomo, who writes a fantastic newsletter on
, we wanted to experiment with audio storytelling.We spent hours discussing how to intersect our passions and possibly connect the dots between what we are interested in, and after wandering through a sea of ideas, we decided to record something just for fun. No pressure, no plan, just an exercise to see if this format could work for us.
Once we stopped the recording, we looked at each other and said, “Why not share it?”
That’s how our first attempt at an interview found its way into his podcast. To listen, head over there with the button below, but make sure to come back. I have more to share.

Project Home, as it exists today, was born in the hills of southwestern Uganda. It all began with these people, these conversations, and all the photos you see in this episode.
Back then, I didn’t know how I could help, but I felt compelled to do something, even if it was small.
Fast forward a year I decided to bring the entire Batwa series into the blockchain, to share their story and connect it to people who might care. To my surprise, a few collectors fell in love with the work and supported it.
Every cent from these sales I made went back to the community, which used it to buy:
12 hoes for Batwa mothers
School supplies for 60 children
Lunches for a week at the local school
Not a fortune, but still something.
A few days later, I received a video from the community thanking me.
I’m not someone who seeks applause or validation, but that video moved me to tears. It reminded me of why I started Project Home. That video is why I write every day and invest deeply into this project.
Thank you for reading and for being part of this journey so early!
You can either scroll through the album below or watch the video at the top, with a unique song performed by the Batwas and a few photos not listed here. Enjoy!
Until the next one,
Much love.
