One thing I have really come to appreciate and learn more about is -good friendship and company. Sometimes in life you're gonna lose motivation as time goes, sometimes reasonable and intellectual conversations can have a great deal of impact on your mind, and such conversations come from meaningful friendships and company.

My name is Ace the Artist, a Zambian visual artist and creative entrepreneur currently based in Zambia. From 2016 to 2022, I lived in China, where I established a successful art business that continues to operate today. My work focuses on creating original artwork while using art as a way to bring people together through creative experiences. In 2024, I partnered with TORI-JI Restaurant in Shanghai to launch a series of Sip & Paint events that welcomed people of all skill levels to explore their creativity in a fun and social environment. These events helped build a vibrant community of art enthusiasts and demonstrated the power of art to connect people from different backgrounds. I also developed a beginner-friendly painting kit designed to teach anyone how to paint, making art more accessible while encouraging creativity and confidence. Through both my artwork and community-based events, my mission is to inspire, educate, and create meaningful artistic experiences. Although I am now based in Zambia, my art business and Sip & Paint community continue to grow in China. Below is a selection of my artwork and highlights from the Sip & Paint events I have organized at TORI-JI Restaurant in Shanghai.

Building has tested me in ways I never expected. As CEO, tech lead, product thinker, problem solver, and sometimes the person holding everything together mentally, it has not been easy. There were moments of excitement, but also frustration. From dealing with Apple challenges and technical roadblocks, to handling life itself while still trying to build something meaningful. People often see startups from the outside and think it’s just about launches, funding, or big wins. What they don’t see are the sleepless nights, the uncertainty, the pressure, and the discipline it takes to keep going when things are not moving the way you hoped. But despite everything, I’m still here. Still building. Still learning. Still believing in what Hafrik can become. This journey is shaping me as much as I’m shaping the company. To every founder, builder, engineer, designer, or dreamer carrying weight behind the scenes, I see you. We keep going.

Step out more. Lust, meaningless fantasies and hidden acts strive in silence, secret and dormancy!!

🎉 Happy Chinese New Year! 🧧🐉 To everyone celebrating, we wish you a year filled with good health, happiness, success, and new opportunities. May this new year bring growth in your career, business, studies, and personal life. For those living in China, we hope this season brings peace, celebration, and meaningful moments with friends and family. Thank you for being part of Hafrik. We’re grateful for this community and excited for what we’ll build together this year. 祝大家新年快乐，万事如意 🎊 — The Hafrik Team

2025: Lessons, Growth, and Moving Forward As I look back on 2025, one theme stands out for me: growth through movement. This year, I made the decision to leave my city and step into a new environment. It wasn’t comfortable, but it pushed me to think bigger, build smarter, and challenge myself in new ways. Leading and developing Hafrik as an ecosystem, while growing HafrikPlay , #HafrikTV and other projects, demanded resilience, clarity, and discipline. Entrepreneurship isn’t just about ideas. It’s about adapting, making tough calls, and staying focused when things are uncertain. One important lesson stood out: 👉 Don’t force people into a vision they don’t believe in. Create movement. The right people align themselves. Not every decision paid off. Some sacrifices didn’t return what I expected. Some seasons required slowing down and restructuring. But there were meaningful wins: clearer systems, better direction, stronger confidence in where we’re going. Someone asked me recently: “What do you do for fun?” That question made me rethink balance and sustainability. Building matters. Living intentionally matters too. I also want to say thank you. To my co-founders and teammates at HafrikPlay: Omobosola Alaka ,Abolaji Alaka Destiny Ezenwata thank you for your dedication and belief in the vision. And to everyone who has contributed in any way across the Hafrik ecosystem, your support, ideas, and effort truly matter. As I step into 2026, I’m carrying clarity, discipline, and determination. And I’m focusing on what aligns, what builds, and what truly matters. Grateful for the journey. Grateful for the lessons. And thankful to God for seeing me through. On to 2026.

A wise man's saying! Fish → lives in water, vulnerable to crocodiles. Crocodile → powerful predator, feared in the water. If the fish itself comes out of its safe space (water) to warn you the crocodile is sick → that means the threat is genuinely weakened, and you should believe it. The meaning: It’s about trusting information that comes from an unlikely or risky source. If someone who normally wouldn’t speak (or has the most to lose) comes forward with a warning, it probably holds truth.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to create something meaningful, not just for myself, but for the community I live in. That dream gave birth to Hafrik - The foreigners hub in China. Hafrik is a platform built for foreigners living in China, a space where people can connect, share experiences, and find opportunities. Living abroad isn’t always easy, but with the right support system and community, it becomes a journey of growth and discovery. Through Hafrik, we are building that support system: a network that helps people feel at home, no matter how far away from home they are. This is my first official post here regarding my journey, and I’m excited to share this journey with you. I’ll be talking about what we’re building with Hafrik, my personal experiences, and the lessons that come with creating something for the community 👉 If you’re interested in community, growth, and cross-cultural experiences, I’d love to connect with you. #Hafrik #China #Community #ForeignersInChina #Growth
