Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
By As a mom, wife, and entrepreneur, I navigate a delicate balance between family life, business demands, and personal well-being. Juggling responsibilities is tough – family duties, business obligations, and personal needs can feel overwhelming. But I’ve learned it’s not just about me; it’s about having a village. My family’s support – my husband, mom, and sisters – has been invaluable. They’ve been my rock, helping me through the toughest moments. Of course, there are times when stress and self-doubt creep in, making me wonder if I’m meeting expectations. But with a supportive partner who understands, I feel blessed. I couldn’t do this without them.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Thanks for the question! I’d say finding a mentor or networking effectively requires being genuine, clear about what you need, and open to different types of relationships – and don’t be afraid to reach out and follow up!
I’m grateful for my supportive family, who’ve been instrumental in my journey. I’m also proud to be part of the American Women Association in Lagos, Nigeria, serving as Executive Social Director for the American Women’s Club Lagos, where we empower and connect women from diverse backgrounds and professions.
