You get the most actionable audience building tips on LinkedIn | Currently helping 4 founders reduce CAC by turning their LinkedIn brand into a 24/7 salesperson.

In 2020, I left a miserable HR job. No savings, no backup plan. Just fear.

My dad was furious. 

Understandably, I had just walked away from what so many considered a golden opportunity.

I felt like a failure. 

But deep down, I knew I had to make a change. Because staying meant being stuck in a life and career I had no passion for. I was also trapped in:

🛑 A relationship I thought would last forever
🛑 The house I had lived in for 25 years
🛑 And Sundays spent with my mom’s delicious rice and chicken stew

It seemed too comfortable for my growth.

So, I took the risk. Learned social media management and quit my job.

With no formal training, I hustled day and night, looking for internship opportunities. After months of rejection, a marketing and brand manager for an Edtech company took a chance on me.

It wasn’t easy. But that first step opened doors I never imagined.

Since then, I’ve worked with some of the biggest tech brands across Africa and beyond. Today, I manage social media for a New York-based startup, earning 100x more than I did back then.

In my current role, I’ve:

1. Helped monetize our YouTube channel
2. Created the company’s top three viral posts
3. Increased brand presence on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Even though my dad still thinks I made a mistake, I'm having the time of my life observing startups (especially in Africa) from my Marketing POV.

*The only person we thought was SAFE in Stranger Things series on Netflix* 🥹

I have been following and watching the series since its first release 8-9 years back.

Absolutely in love with Stranger Things. How the story evolved over the years in each season and the characters grew and made an impact individually, even the side roles is extraordinary.

The best thing is it was never predictable. They always made us think about things at the end of it.

A part of me grew with them, their acting, their lives and this series. The writers did a great job in making sure the characters had so much to offer to the audience.

It’s a beautiful end to an era. I don’t know if you guys have watched it. This is a Sci-Fi series on Netflix . If you haven’t watched it yet, you should definitely binge right now.

Thank you. 😊
