This girl here, she was a child that her parents didn’t want that came accidentally (my head is strong 😂), she was a pepper-seller, she was a cleaner, she was a salesgirl, she had a couple of failed relationship / engagements, she has regular impostor syndrome moments.
she still think she doesn’t speak enough good English, and she didn’t get married until her mid-thirties.

But, she never stopped dreaming, planning, praying and fighting for what she believes in. She understands the power of positioning and clarity is her last name.
Every time she remembers who she is, she changes the game one more time. She is a nobody that is a somebody somewhere in her head so she continued to fight to be a somebody. In the process, she became a 3D-printing Queen and that changed her career and life-trajectory forever.
Today, I celebrate myself. The birth of me. My journey from Ibadan to OSU, to Lagos, to Kuopio and then Tampere Finland. My journey to Saskatoon and Hamilton Canada. To Columbus Indiana. Today, I remember where I have been, who I was and who I am trying to be 5 years from now.
I celebrate the girl who keeps telling herself that she won’t have a better last year and a better yesterday and keep fighting for more.

From pepper-seller, we have become strong contender in the Canadian and American Workforce, TEDx speaker, Company founder
several prestigious awards winner, money maker, Fendi and Goyard -wearing Olu’s wife 😃, and the hope in the dream of my mother ❤️. What is it that God and risk taking can’t do? If I don’t hype myself wetin I gain?

Do you have a five year roadmap? Is it technology-driven?
Is it discussed with a mentor to help make sure you are on the right track? Don’t lowball yourself and don’t go work on a plan that won’t make you competitive. Get expert advice. Well, today I celebrate this badass Nigerian girl who isn’t ever afraid of taking CALCULATED RISKS
and thank the Lord for keeping me and making me a light.

Dear woman, it’s Wednesday, ADJUST YOUR CROWN! #DrAddy #WCW

To everyone who left Africa in August / September to start a new life in another part of the world, well done but this is just the beginning of the journey. From someone who #Japa in 2008, here are some of my words to you:

✅ Get your regularization papers asap - health card Image
identity card, social security card, school ID card, driver’s license, open a bank account, deposit all of your money and get a bank card

✅ You need both the people from your continents (Africans abroad) and the locals of your new country. So, start building those
relationships as soon as you can

✅ Join a religious organization. Churches usually will have food drive, free winter jackets and in some cases provide shelter or other support that you may need. So, find a church ASAP

If you're not being adequately compensated for your hard work, your career is likely to feel frustrating at best, and unfulfilling at worst.

But is there anything you can do about it? Yes! Improved compensation is one of the most important benefits of career advancement for many
professionals. To get the most out of your work, it's important to take a strategic approach to seek out other higher-paying opportunities. The best way to do this is not to go to every nook and cranny of the internet applying for every job position that is available but to align
yourself properly and define your career grounds. The fastest way to go through this process is to sign up for our career competitiveness and Optimization program.

7 years ago, I was wearing my uniform as a color salesperson at Sephora. I was in graduate school, a few days away from 30 yrs, singularly single and had less than 500 CAD to my name every first day of the month after paying my rent😃. I was sharing a basement apartment with two
other students and my landlords were these nice couple who are my age-mate and had their lives together. Oh, how I looked at them and their cute little family with admiration daily asking “God when”.

Those days were rough, graduate school dealt with me.
I had just had a failed animal trial: my experimental rats died and I was having many nights spent at the Canadian Light Source where I collected data.

Oh, serious imposter syndrome, my graduate funding was running out (I had one year to graduate and our funding will run out

*A quick check in with yourself*

Ask yourself these key questions and give it a chance to sink in. If you feel like you need help with your career planning, that's okay. Maybe you're not sure what you want to do or where to start
maybe it's been a while since you've looked for a job, maybe you've never had a problem finding a job but can't figure out how to take the next step in your career. Lucky for You, I am here to work you through the process every step of the way.
You might think you don't need professional support, but that may be the biggest obstacle in your way.

If this content speaks directly to you then count yourself lucky at this time because I will be giving 20% off on all packages to celebrate my birthday

One of the hardest decision I have had to make is to turn down a LOVE that came at the WRONG TIME.

I met a guy back in Finland. We were both students by day and cleaners by night. But he was madly in love with me. You could tell him anything about me and he would still love me
Suddenly, I got a PhD admission and full funding in Canada! And it became clear that I was going to move to Canada and leave him behind. Guess what? He proposed! Chei! What was I supposed to do when I know he could kill himself if I said no. Well, I said yes.
But made it clear, I am going to Canada and going alone! If you want me, get yourself to Canada by school or any other method 😃. I am not staying back to marry and have kids while we would both be cleaners and be madly poor and madly in love.
