Exposed Vocals Interviews Andrew Migogo
I’m Andrew Migogo (God fearing, a Son, Husband to an amazing wife, a Father of 2 amazing Children & a brother). I consider myself a humanitarian as I have a passion towards human welfare ever since. That is why I have decided to create a twitter account in which I send out positive and uplifting tweets to other users. This is because I believe that everyone is undergoing something in their life and sometimes, they just need to find or read something that would inspire them and would make them feel better. I have the goal of continuously providing such quotes until everyone’s lives have been touched by it. I am also here to allow everyone who reads my posts to be the best that they can be.
For me, twitter has been a means to share my wisdom to others. It is a way for me to help people have a positive outlook about the world. Also, my tweets reflects my opinions, beliefs, thoughts and emotions. They also contain the things that I agree about as well as the things that I wanted to see in this world that we are currently living in. I want them to realise that hope is still within reach. Apart from that, I want to keep the spirit of those who would be reading it up, as I know that it would be of help to them in living their lives somehow.
Apart from posting uplifting tweets, I am also into blogging. As a matter fact, I really love blogging a lot. I love how it allows me to share things with others in my own special way. Just like my tweets, I write blogs that would help inspire people, despite of what they are currently facing and experiencing in life. You can expect that I would be supplying quality content and content that are truly worth your time reading.
I also provide one on one advice with some of my followers. If you would visit my twitter account, you can see some of the great conversations that I had with some of my followers. I love talking with different kinds of people having different experiences in life, as I am not the only one who provides them insight for I am also being provided with new learning that I can apply in my life too. I also appreciate the fact that they have spent some time answering the questions that I have tweeted.
You can expect that you would be able to hear more about me in the future. This is because I have a podcast coming soon together with a YouTube Page. Hopefully, you would have a good time listening to me and the things that I would be sharing. Apart from that, I am also an up and coming author. I am working towards creating a good book to present to those who have always provided me support and has shown appreciation to the efforts I have exerted in making people change their views in life for the better through the things that I have shared with them. Just as you have shown me support before, I hope that you would support me in the future as well.
