Your Passion 

My passion is to inspire, to make history, give people hope and build legacies. That’s what drives me.

WHAT FUELS ME?

Faith: Faith is what has brought me to where I am, and I believe it would take me to where I would be. My ability to believe what has not yet happened, and live as if it has happened, has enabled a lot of my dreams and aspirations to eventually come through. Faith is a strong force that thrives and gives me strength even when reality now seems discouraging.

Optimistic: I am a very optimistic person, I always see good, even in the bad. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and as a child of God who I am, I believe that everything works for my good. So whenever something bad happens to me, I look for the bright side and dwell on it. There is always a bright side. This attitude has made me to build up positive energy which gives me strength to be good, do good and grow my purpose.

Love: I believe that Love is the very essence of my existence, Love is who I am, and why I am here. Love is what I live to give and the only thing I always have to share.  I live to love…

MY GREATEST INFLUENCE:

The one thing that has had the most profound influence on me is the word of God. My desire to live according to the word of God is what gives me the ability to be who I am and to do everything I do

MY TOP THREE ROLE MODELS:

–Prophet TB Joshua: because of his dedication to his purpose and his unconditional love for humanity.

–Devon Franklin: because of his ability to devoutly serve God and stay true to his calling and purpose even-though he is working in a carnal industry like Hollywood.

–Wendy Williams: because she worked hard and has achieved massive success by living her life and doing things on her own terms.

IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS…..

In the next 5 years I hope my agency; Beta Media would have PR clients all over Africa,  would be producing the biggest events in the continent and would have one of the biggest media platforms in Africa.

THE AFRICAN WOMAN’S CHALLENGE:

I think that the major challenge African women face is lack of faith in themselves due to lack of knowledge about who they really are. I am contributing to this through the creation of Beta Girls(betagirls.org) which is a platform for girls to be inspired and empowered with knowledge from other girls.

WHAT I DO TO RELAX:

I watch movies, TV and I read novels

MY   –   I.C.E. [INSPIRE|CELEBRATE|EMPOWER] VISION

Because the African woman is an epitome of strength. She carries the burden of her family, her community, and her society.

MY AFRICAN UNION PLANS:

I would like to be in charge of giving mentor-ship to younger girls because when I look around I discover that many girls don’t get to live their full potential because they are ignorant of things that a seasoned mentor would have imparted on them. Also because in my journey so far, I have gathered and still gather a lot of knowledge that I want to share with those coming after me, so they can be better, and won’t get to face the challenges I faced.

FINAL WORDS OF ADVICE:

My advice to African women is that: You have the power to be who you want to be, all you have to do is silence your fears and make a move toward the destiny you want to achieve.
