… in the professional setting. Whoever needs to

… in the professional setting. Whoever needs to hear this, I just want to tell you that you’re doing a fabulous job! You really are! So be confident. What exactly are you always sorry for? Did you beat somebody ni? Save your apologies and take charge of the situation.

I remember one evening in Nigeria, a huge cockroac

I remember one evening in Nigeria, a huge cockroach flew straight into my thick afro. I flung my head up and down, followed by an aggressive circular motion over and over and over again until the cockroach flew out and slammed itself on the tile floors. But did I stop swinging my head even when I knew the cockroach was out and I heard my siblings shouting “it’s out! It’s out!”? Of course not! The full swing, swing, swing motion continued for what felt like forever, with my hands on my knees, back bent, and everything, like I was in a Beyonce music video.

On the blog today, I share 6 things I'd change about Nigeria if I had the magic powers. You can already guess # 1. Link in bio.

I wrote a (fabulous) post that applies to everyone

I wrote a (fabulous) post that applies to everyone, but especially timely for my fellow ladies. Let's support one another to thrive in our careers (and of course everything else).
.
So remember Simsola, the entry level analyst for whom I wrote a letter called “6 Ways to fake it till you make it in corporate America”? Now she’s been promoted to a mid-level position and she’s totally killing it in her new role. But of course, being the stubborn aunty that I am, I just can’t keep calm. So here I come again with some lessons for Simisola on how to thrive in corporate America, especially as an immigrant climbing the ladder [Link in bio].

You make me smile a million times a day. Happy Bir

You make me smile a million times a day. Happy Birthday Mimi Jen. (She had a fun day with "bayoons", strawbebeyies", and "chocotates"). Terrific twos here we come 🙂

I am fortunate to have sat with movers and shakers

I am fortunate to have sat with movers and shakers in industries from tech to fashion to real estate, and top executives in corporate America. I’ve sat one-on-one with each of them, just listening to their stories, and learning from their struggles, successes, and tough decisions they’ve had to make. Omo, don’t be deceived by what you see on the outside oh, the hustule is real out there in the streets. On the blog today, I wrote down 5 lessons from these conversations I've had with "successful" Africans. Link in bio.
