I enjoy interviews, but its always a different dynamic when you are being interviewed. Recently, as part of the international women’s day celebrations, myself and Francesca Uriri, our recent WCW, where on the Heart of the Matter with Omilola Oshikoya to discuss ‘Celebrating African Women’. I enjoyed every minute of the interview and it was great having Francesca there to…
Ok I am biased. I love smart woman….and Tari Sikoki is one of them. Tari who works in the Citizenship and Corporate Social Responsibility arm of Union bank, is a Global Shaper and the CEO of Honey’s Cupcakes- a paradise for all cake lovers. Tari is also a writer and womanist. So when I saw the latest series of Working…
Early in the year, we devoted one webisode of our Vlog-discovery to the 15 women who inspired us in 2015. Chika Uwazie was a star feature on our list. I met Chika, at the Grooming for Greatness Fellowship and I was immediately taken by her astute business skills, passion and warmth. But I’m not the only one who has noticed…
I can’t remember exactly when and how I met Francesca. All I remember is her impact. For the last few years Francesca and I have called each other- sisters in purpose. Our vision on African women, creating opportunities for women to thrive and live purposeful lives match toe to toe and I LOVE how driven she is. Francesca is living…
It’s been quiet over here on IBG for a few days, because we had to take a step back and regroup- so as usual we are very excited to be back with a BANG! As you all know, March is all about celebrating women! From Mothers Day to International Women’s Day (IWD) we are putting women everywhere on the map.…
A lot of us think the only times we can be joyful is when something good happens to us- our prayers get answered or a reason to celebrate arrives. While these situations contribute to us being joyful, it certainly isn’t the full picture. I believe being joyful is an intentional effort not something that just happens. Being joyful takes practice…
It’s already been 4 days since we concluded the #My2016GoalsWorkshop but the lessons learnt from organising and listening to the speakers will probably last a lifetime. I and everyone who attended the workshop learnt so much from both Stephanie and Omilola-so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that I am crushing on both these very knowledgeable and proficient speakers. The…
Last year, I got accepted to the Grooming for Greatness Fellowship, its been an amazing few months of personal development, self reflection and learning. But by far one of the biggest rewards has been meeting other Fellows, who challenge, inspire and encourage me in every way. Temi Giwa-Tubosun is one of such Fellows. The girl is a ROCKSTAR. Honestly I…
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, the #My2016GoalsWorkshop will be rescheduled by one week. i.e. from February 6th 2016 to February 13th 2016 As many Lagosians may be aware, the Lagos International Marathon has been slated to take place on the same day. As part of the preparation of the Marathon, the Lagos State Government on Wednesday, announced restriction…
So it comes as no surprise that we are crushing on the amazing Tara Fela Durotoye, the founder and CEO of House of Tara, Africa’s Foremost Beauty Brand, especially after the House of Tara brand became a Case Study at Harvard. According to the Harvard website, “House of Tara has been named by L’Oréal as a strategic distributor for Nigeria…
