A few years ago I’d watch on in envy as my friends talked about doing jobs or working in sectors they loved. I wondered why I seemed not to get the same sort of excitement or fulfilment in my own life. Today, things are a little different. I wake up in the middle of the night, completely giddy about Inspired…
I enjoy conversing. Debates, purposeful arguments on policy, state of the nation and societal dynamics. But as much as these types of conversations can be useful, certain types of conversation can be repetitive and retrogressive. As much as social media and other platforms has given many of us opportunities to challenge and discuss our opinions, we seem to be stuck…
It’s the first day of February and I think it’s completely safe to say, 2016 has gathered full steam! In fact January felt like such an active month, it might be tough to believe we are only in the 2nd month of a new year. But just before we slam in on the new month, I think it may be…
Happy New Year!!!!! I hope 2016 brings all your dreams to life! It’s been an exciting January and I can’t wait to share all that we have planned at Inspiredbyglory.com. But in the meantime….how are those resolutions coming along? I know January is usually the time where we begin to frame our goals, ambitions and resolutions for the year, so…
It’s strange but 5 years ago, I never saw myself as an entrepreneur. In fact I still don’t see myself as one. It’s really about having the opportunity to create my future and entrepreneurship seems to be the only way to express my vision and create the future I want. But as a 9-5 girl with more experience in urban…
I LOVE me some Iyanla…the woman speaks truth for days. This video reminds me of some of the recent relationship vlogs we’ve shared. I guess it has to do with our culture but there is a significant narrative in Nigeria, and I dare say most of Africa, that makes single women feel incomplete. When that is most certainly not the case.…
Many of us (if not all of us) deal with insecurities of different degrees. From how we look, where we schooled, how much money we have, who we married, the schools are children go to…..insecurities can appear in different forms and can affect us in different ways. While most of us spend a considerable amount of time trying to hide…
Whether we participate in national elections or not, our lives are evaded by several levels of political nuances. The office really is a political playground where power is wielded and sought after through various group dynamics. When I started my first job in Nigeria, I was a real JJC- Jonny Just Come! I knew ‘about’ office politics but i never…
I really enjoy recording relationship vlogs! I have always said I feel like the heartbreak queen. My previous relationships have taught me so much about myself and the kind of person I would like to be. As I’ve grown older, I’ve realised that romantic relationships can be tough and more so when you haven’t defined the reason why you’ve chosen…
One of the things I love about living in Nigeria is the possibilities. Opportunities are being created everyday and the market space for innovation and creativity is ripe for the plucking. The only thing missing sometimes are the foot steps to guide us. Yes, we may have role models, but their experience is sometimes a bit out of reach when…
