Going to #LEADCamp representing my school alongside one of my BFFs till Today, meeting girls from all over Nigeria, spurred my interest in media and awakened a confidence I didn’t know I had.
__ – I remember hosting the student segment of a show on TV. – I was nominated to read a poem we all wrote on @937rhythmfm.
All by girls I had just met.
That year I won “Most Outstanding Participant” (I really never experredit Lol I was just being outspoken and having fun) I went back to school and I appointed Head Girl, then I got a nationwide scholarship that led me to @BrownU.

It taught me some things are planned and prepared for (like acing the exam and essay that got me in there) and some things are God shining a light on your path, after all the prep and prayers.
When I think of what I’ve been able to do at #BellaNaija and what I’m starting at #AsoEbiBella, a big part of the seed started at 16.

So grateful to be part of the #JAN fam over a decade later, and I can only hope that the way those media trips and hearing those female entrepreneurs touched me, I can inspire other little women like I was when I was 16.
As Hillary Clinton said – “To all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable, and powerful, and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams.” And as Cosmas Maduka said, “what’s in you is greater than what’s in the world”. Start today. The world is waiting.
