Hello ladies! Happy International Women’s Day! A day set aside to celebrate women, discuss issues and proffer solutions for gender parity. YAY! This year the theme is #BeBoldforChange and honestly we love it. Not only because change definitely does require boldness, but because we as women are bold!

Our Redefining Event mantra…
I am always pleasantly surprised by how much women learn when they come together. Wana Udobang and I put together the #RedefiningFinance Event in April this year. As we planned the event, we weren’t sure what to expect. All we knew was there was a dearth of personal financial planning amongst our peers and we wanted to create a platform…
I know I am a glutton for punishment but I tell myself I create the work to engage with the audience and that is why I read the comments sections of articles I write. Well that is my story and I am sticking with it. I recently read a comment that took a dig at the whole self love thing…

Few weeks ago I published my interview with Chioma Obii-Obioha, the creator and editor of the Love.N’Words blog for her series ‘Journey to Beautiful’.
