Keep dreaming always!
I was wondering out loud the other today, what my legacy would be when it’s all said and done. I hope my legacy points people back to the reasons why they dream, how to dream and who is always at the helm of their dreams. It’s God, always God. We are dreaming again, building too…

Love looks like you, anchored, vibrant and alive, surrounded by those who call you love. You are love, with your human light that mimics roots beneath soil.

Keep the wonders of Naija!
In Naija, or like we call it, home, we think a lot about movement, and bustling streets and buildings tall and straight as trees, and the grey skies we hang on to, everyone happy to see another day, at least there is wonder here, and magic too, for where else will you see blind men, …

Keep choosing time alone!

Keep seeing goodness!
Some words have wings, forcing you to soar when spoken. Today I saw the message in the words “see goodness” and we are certainly soaring to the skies. I kept saying I’m where I am supposed to be. Everything about today was divine that those words made my eyes see for myself how blessed I…
