I am immensely grateful to Success magazine — a magazine that fosters a culture of personal growth and development — & Em Cassel for this incredible opportunity to share my journey to success. As an immigrant from Nigeria, my path to success has been anything but conventional. My twenties were filled with tumult and setbacks, a decade I once considered a complete failure by all accounts. Yet, being featured in the same publication that has showcased visionaries like Elon Musk, Tony Robbins, and Mark Cuban before me fills me with a profound sense of achievement and hope. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the boundless opportunities that await those who dare to dream big.
It was a painfully lonely and arduous journey, but nearly two years later, I finally feel VINDICATED.
One of the defining moments of my journey was when I had the courage & exposed the Carter agency scam. Despite facing opposition and warnings to remain silent, I chose to use my voice (as per usual) and stood up for what was right. It was a painfully lonely and arduous journey, but nearly two years later, I finally feel VINDICATED. That experience taught me the power of perseverance and the importance of staying true to oneself & using your voice unabashedly, even in the face of adversity.
My message to young people is simple: listen to your heart, trust your instincts, and never be afraid to chase your dreams, no matter how unconventional they may seem to others. You are truly the architect of your own life.
Another pivotal moment came when I decided to switch from the fashion and skincare industry to personal finance recently. Many doubted my decision and cautioned against such a drastic change calling it impulsive. Yet, I listened to my inner voice (my God given compass once again) and followed my gut instinct. This decision has not only led to personal fulfillment but has also allowed me to inspire others to pursue their dreams fearlessly & not be afraid to pivot. Before I know it, we grew to 500k on TikTok seemingly overnight. My message to young people is simple: listen to your heart, trust your instincts, and never be afraid to chase your dreams, no matter how unconventional they may seem to others. You are truly the architect of your own life.
In closing, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to God, my parents (their prayers have saved me more than I can count), and my loyal followers for their unwavering support throughout each chapter of my life. It is your love and encouragement that have fueled my determination and propelled me towards success.
As I reflect on my journey, I am reminded of the words of Walt Disney: "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." May my story serve as a beacon of hope for those who dare to dream and a reminder that with faith, resilience, and unwavering determination, anything is possible. Cheers to many more successes & accomplishments.
