Business Funding Strategist I I help Entrepreneurs secure funding for business purchase/expansion | Co-Founder in Financial Services | 100+ successful clients | “DM me”

In 2016, I took a bold leap.

I pitched a vision, raised over $2 million in funding, and built a microfinance bank from scratch, one that has helped over 500 entrepreneurs access the capital, clarity, and structure needed to grow.

But even before that, I spent nearly a decade in corporate finance watching brilliant professionals stay stuck in systems that limited their income, creativity, and power.

I knew there had to be another way.

Today, I coach high-achieving women ready to make that same leap from employee to empowered founder.

These are women who already have extensive professional experience.

What they need is a roadmap to monetize their expertise, show up with confidence online, and build digital income streams, without quitting their 9-5.

Clients I work with have:
* Launched their first digital offer in under 6 weeks
* Landed $3K+ clients from LinkedIn without ads or funnels
* Rebuilt confidence after years of playing small in the corporate world
* Transitioned from finance roles to owning purpose-driven businesses

My coaching helps you:
* Turn your professional expertise into a scalable offer
* Build visibility on LinkedIn and grow your audience
* Create sustainable income without burnout
* Transition from career to on your terms

You don’t need another degree.

You need a system, a strategy, and someone who’s walked the path.

Let’s build your OWN platform.

DM me “OWN” to start your transition from employee to empowered founder.

People think confidence means being fearless.
It doesn’t.

Confidence is saying,
“I’m terrified… but I’ll still go.”

For years, I tried to fix my fear before starting.

But fear doesn’t go away.
It just learns to sit quietly.

These days, I treat it like a passenger. It can ride along.

But it doesn’t get to touch the wheel.

Every time I move anyway,
fear shrinks and trust grows.
That’s the real bet.

Not that it’ll be easy.
Not that you won’t stumble.

But that you’ll keep driving even with trembling hands

because deep down, you finally trust the driver. 

And that’s where confidence begins.

♻️ Repost this for everyone who’s scared, but moving anyway.

I help high-achieving women turn their expertise into high-ticket digital businesses they OWN | $2M+ raised in Series A | Financial Services Co-Founder | Speaker | DM “OWN”

This week humbled me.
Can I be real with you for a second?

I had a moment on Wednesday where I stared at my laptop and thought, “Am I even cut out for this?”

You know those weeks where nothing goes viral…

your inbox is quieter than usual…

and that voice in your head whispers, “Maybe you should just go back”?

Yeah. That was me.

But then yesterday, something shifted.

A woman I’ve never met sent me a DM:

“I’ve been following you for 3 months. I finally left my toxic job. Your posts gave me the courage. Thank you.”

And just like that… I remembered why I do this.

Not for the algorithm.
Not for the vanity metrics.
Not even for the money (though let’s be honest, that part is nice 😂).

I do this because someone out there is watching…

waiting for permission to believe in themselves.

And if my messy, imperfect journey can be that permission slip…

Then every quiet week, every doubt, every “failure” is worth it.

📌 Here’s What I Want You to Remember This Weekend:

Your impact is bigger than you think.

The post you almost didn’t publish?
Someone screenshotted it.

The story you thought was “too vulnerable”? Someone saw themselves in it and finally felt less alone.

The advice you think is “too obvious”? It’s exactly what someone needed to hear today.

You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re planting seeds you can’t see yet.

So this weekend, I need you to do something for me:

Stop comparing your Chapter 3 to someone else’s Chapter 20.

Stop shrinking your voice because it doesn’t sound perfect.

Your story matters.
Your expertise matters.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS.

(And if no one told you this week, I’m proud of you. For showing up. For trying. For not giving up.)

Now go rest. You’ve earned it🙌🏾

Have an amazing weekend ❤️

What’s one thing you’re proud of this week: big or small?

The “good girl” conditioning that made you likable is the same conditioning that’s keeping you poor.

Here are 7 ways we’ve been wired to play small (and why it’s costing you everything):

1.	“Be nice; don’t make waves.”
↳ Reality: Nice gets you overlooked, not promoted.
↳ Directness gets you respect.

2.	“Don’t be too ambitious; it’s not attractive.”
↳ Reality: Your ambition isn’t something to apologize for.
↳ It’s your competitive advantage.

3.	“Wait your turn; good things come to those who wait.”
↳ Reality: While you’re waiting, someone less qualified is asking.
↳ Permission is a trap. Take the seat.

4.	“Don’t talk about money; it’s impolite.”
↳ Reality: Silence about salary keeps the pay gap alive.
↳ Negotiation is how you close it.

5.	“Downplay your achievements; let the work speak.”
↳ Reality: Your work is silent. You need to be more visible.
↳ Advocacy isn’t arrogance, it’s strategy💯.

6.	“Be the helper; support everyone else first.”
↳ Reality: Endless supporting roles don’t lead to the spotlight.
↳ Supporting yourself isn’t selfish, it’s survival.

7.	“Fit in; don’t be too much.”
↳ Reality: “Too much” is exactly what makes you unforgettable.
↳ Your difference is your super power.

The world taught us to shrink.
To smile more. Apologize faster. Take up less space.

But here’s what I know now:

The boxes we’ve been taught to fit into weren’t designed for our success, they were designed for our compliance.

You weren’t born to be small.
You were born to be seen, heard, and impossible to ignore. 

Stop editing yourself down.
Stop waiting for permission.
Stop making yourself digestible for people who can’t handle your full flavor.

The version of you that’s “too much” for some rooms?

That’s the version that builds empires.

Be bold. 
Be loud. 
Be unapologetically you.

The world doesn’t need another woman playing small.

It needs YOU at full volume.

🔁 Know a woman who needs to read this? Share it with her.

Post inspired by my friend David🙏🏽

She had 9 years of supply chain experience.

An MBA.

Certifications most people can’t pronounce.

And she was Googling “how to start a side hustle” at 11pm on a Tuesday.

When we got on a call, I asked her:
“What do companies pay you $120K/year to do?”

Her answer: “Optimize procurement processes, reduce vendor costs, negotiate contracts…”

Me: “And you don’t think someone would pay you $8K to do that for their company in 6 weeks?”

She laughed. “Who would hire me? I’m not a consultant.”

3 months later, she closed $27K in contracts.

Same skills. Same expertise.
Different packaging.

Here’s the truth most corporate professionals miss:

You don’t need a new skill set to build a consulting business.

You need to stop thinking like an employee.

Employees trade time for money and wait for approval.

Consultants trade expertise for premium fees and create their own opportunities.

The companies hiring you already paying consultants.

Just not you. Yet.

Because you’re still showing up as the person who does great work.

Not the expert who solves $100K problems.

I’ve worked with clients who thought they needed:
❌ A bigger platform
❌ A perfect website
❌ More credentials

What they actually needed:
✅ Clarity on their high-value offer
✅ Confidence to name their price
✅ A simple system to find their first clients

If you’ve been the smartest person in the room but you’re still waiting for someone to notice…

It’s not an expertise problem.

It’s a positioning problem. 

♻️ Share this with a high-performer who’s been undervalued too long.

📩 DM me “OWN” if you’re ready to turn corporate skills into a consulting offer people actually pay for.

Most people don’t pivot because they’re stuck.

They stay stuck because they never pivot.

For years, I checked all the boxes:

📌 Pharmacy degree  
📌 Successful finance career  
📌 Stability, structure, status

But something still felt off.

Not because I wasn’t good at it…

But because I knew I was made for more.

The hardest part of a pivot isn’t starting over.

It’s unlearning the life you built on autopilot.

Here’s what I realized after pivoting three times:

1. Success can be a stronger trap than failure.

It’s easy to leave what’s not working. Harder to walk away from what is.

2. People will praise the version of you that serves them most.

Not necessarily the one that’s most true to you.

3. You don’t find your purpose. You choose it.

Then build the courage to pursue it before it makes sense.

4. Every pivot is a vote for your future.

And you never run out of chances to choose again.

5. The longer you wait, the louder the fear gets.

But momentum quiets doubt. Start.

You’re more ready than you feel.

You don’t owe the world a version of yourself that’s well-packaged but deeply unfulfilled.

If something’s stirring in you, trust it.

Your pivot might look messy.

It might not make sense to others.

But it could be the most powerful thing you ever do.

You weren’t just made to fit in a system.

You were made to design a life you’re wildly proud of.

What’s one pivot you know you need to make but haven’t yet?

♻️ Repost for someone who’s been waiting for a sign. This is it.🔥

They say “believe in yourself.”
But nobody talks about what to do when your mind won’t listen.

Because the real truth is this:

Self-doubt doesn’t show up when you’re weak.

It shows up when you’re growing.

It shows up when you’re stepping into rooms your past wasn’t prepared for.

It shows up when the future version of you is louder than the familiar version you’re trying to outgrow.

And the more you rise, the more that old voice tries to pull you back.

Not because you’re unqualified…
but because you’re becoming someone your old identity doesn’t recognize.

This weekend, I noticed something:

Every time I felt doubt creeping in, it wasn’t a sign to stop.

It was a sign that I had stepped into a bigger version of myself.

A version that required new courage, new language, new confidence.

So I shifted my perspective:
Self-doubt isn’t the enemy.
Self-doubt is evidence.
Evidence that you are moving.
Evidence that you are expanding.
Evidence that you are standing in unfamiliar territory, because you have outgrown the old one.

If you feel doubt, it means you’re already becoming the person you used to pray to be.

Don’t stop now.

♻️ Repost to remind someone: Doubt isn’t a setback, it’s a signal that growth is happening.

I quit a job I loved because of something my boss never said out loud:

“I don’t trust you.”

They hired me for my experience, my ideas, my leadership.

Then second-guessed every decision, rewrote my work, and showed up to meetings I was running.

So I stopped trying to lead.

Not because I couldn’t.

Because I knew whatever I built would be undone.

And my team saw it all.

They stopped giving their best too. 

They knew there was no point.

Eventually, they started leaving.

That’s when I learned the hardest lesson about leadership:

Control is not leadership.

Trust is.

Being a good boss means hiring talented people and getting out of their way.

If you’re building a team, start with trust.

It’s not just the foundation for great culture.

It’s how you keep your best people.

What’s your experience? Have you worked for a leader who trusted you, or one who didn’t?

I watched my friend spiral for six months over a deal that fell through.

“I had it. It was mine. They took it away.”

But it was never hers.

Because until the contract is signed, the money is wired, and the work begins, it’s just a possibility.

Not a promise.

The truth?

Whether you’re building a business or searching for your next role:

You’re going to lose things you thought were guaranteed.

The client who “verbally committed” but never returned your email.

The final-round interview that felt perfect, until they went with an internal candidate.

The partnership that seemed like destiny until they ghosted.

The job offer that was “almost yours” before the hiring freeze hit.

And you’ll grieve it like a breakup. That’s real. Feel it.

But here’s the shift that changes everything:

Don’t let what never materialized steal what’s still possible.

Because while you’re stuck replaying the “almost,” someone else is already on the next train.

The fastest way to stay stuck is obsessing over the one that got away.

The fastest way to win is showing up for the one that’s coming.

Let go of the “almost.” 

Your real opportunity is already on its way.

♻️ Repost for someone still waiting on the platform.

My client texted me yesterday:

I only signed one client last month. I feel like I’m failing.

One client = $11,000.

She made more in 30 days than most people make in two months at a job.

And she felt like she was failing.

I sat with that for a minute.

Because I’ve been there too.

You know why she felt that way?

Because she was measuring her beginning against someone else’s middle.

Scrolling LinkedIn seeing people post about their “best month ever.”

Watching consultants who are “fully booked.”

Comparing her ONE to someone else’s MANY.

And completely missing the miracle of what she’d actually done.

So here’s what I told her (and what I need you to hear):

Stop measuring your wins by someone else’s highlight reel.

That person posting about their 7-figure launch? You didn’t see the 3 years of silence before that.

The consultant booked out for months? They started with one client too.

Your progress is real even if it’s not viral.

Your growth counts even if no one’s applauding.

Your one client, your first sale, your quiet consistency, that’s not “just” anything.

That’s the foundation everything else is built on.

📌 Acknowledge what you HAVE accomplished.

Not what you didn’t.

Not what someone else did.

What YOU did.

Because I guarantee it’s more than you’re giving yourself credit for.

You’re not behind.

You’re building.

And that’s enough.

What’s one win from this week, big or small, that you’re claiming right now?

♻️ Repost for someone who’s been too hard on themselves lately.

I once worked with someone who was short-tempered, blunt, and always “too busy.”

At first, I labeled her: difficult.

But one day, I found out she was quietly caring for a special needs child.

Suddenly, her sharpness looked less like rudeness…and more like exhaustion in disguise.

Here’s the thing:

Most people don’t announce the invisible battles they’re fighting.

They just show up:
→ Tired
→ Distracted
→ Irritable

And hope no one notices.

That’s why kindness is not optional.

It’s not a “nice-to-have.”

It’s leadership.

It’s oxygen for humans who are quietly running out of air.

When in doubt, assume the person in front of you is carrying something heavy.

Because 9 times out of 10… they are.

Kindness doesn’t show up in dashboards.

It won’t win you awards.

But years from now, they won’t remember your title.

They’ll remember how you made them feel when they were at their lowest.

Let kindness be your legacy.

♻️ Repost if you believe kindness is most powerful leadership skill there is.

For years, I architected cloud solutions that transformed how organizations operated. 

I led $2M+ projects across 5+ business units at BMO, TELUS Health, and CN Rail—delivering results like 40% reduced downtime, 30% faster deployments, and 99.95% system availability. I was good at what I did. 

The metrics proved it.

But here’s what they didn’t show: I was usually the only Black woman in the room.

I watched talented women of color work twice as hard for half the visibility, not because they lacked skills, but because they lacked the frameworks and positioning that come easily when you fit the mold. 

I realized I was applying systems thinking to infrastructure while my community needed someone to architect pathways to visibility and power.

So I left corporate tech to build something that mattered.I founded my coaching practice to empower BIPOC women to become confidently visible and economically powerful. 

In just under a year, we’ve served 30+ women through events and coaching, helping them overcome imposter syndrome, achieve promotions, and build the strategic positioning I had to figure out alone.

I bring the same rigor to this work that I brought to tech: the operational excellence that delivered 100% on-time execution, the strategic planning that cut cloud costs by 18%, the stakeholder management from leading cross-functional teams. 

But now it’s in service of women who look like me.

Through my coaching practice, I help BIPOC women translate their expertise into visibility, their visibility into demand, and their demand into economic power. 

Because confidence isn’t just a feeling, It’s strategy. and Visibility isn’t luck, it’s currency.

Authenticity in an interview comes from authenticity in your daily life.

The ones who are getting job offers aren’t always the most qualified. 

They’re the most self-aware.

A client once reached out me and said: 

“I keep making it to final rounds, but they always choose someone else.”

We did a mock interview. I asked about a past failure.

She gave me a polished story.
Impressive, but hollow.

So I pushed: 
“What did that moment teach you about yourself?” 

Silence.

That was the gap. 
Not her skills. 

But in her connection with her own story.
These 16 interview techniques aren’t hacks. 

They’re habits that reveal who you are:
→ Pausing before you speak shows you actually think
→ Owning your red flags shows integrity
→ Treating everyone with respect shows character

If you’re scrambling to “prepare” for these the night before, you’re already behind.

The interview is just the mirror.

In reality, are you preparing for the interview 

or preparing to become the person who naturally does these things?

There’s a big difference; one gets you callbacks, and the other gets you offers.

If you want to show up in your next interview with 

clarity, confidence, and the kind of self-awareness hiring managers can feel, 

send me a DM with the word “INTERVIEW” and we can discuss walk your next steps.

I still remember the rooms where I was the only woman. 

That memory shapes every choice I make as a leader now. 

A few months ago, I became President of BIT Lagos, a non-profit under the global, Blacks In Technology Foundation

And I now lead a team of 10 board members and members of over 150.

We serve marginalized communities and help people unlock career and business potential. 

The title is not what moves me. 
The environment I create does. 

I remember rooms where I: 
• worked twice as hard to be heard 
• smiled through disrespect 
• questioned if I even belonged there 

I walked out of those rooms with a quiet promise to myself: 

When I become a leader, no one on my team or leadership will feel that way. 

So here is what I build at BIT Lagos: 
• A space where people feel welcomed, not tolerated 
• A culture where contribution matters more than “fitting in.” 
• A table where different views are invited and valued 
• A team where you can be yourself and still be seen as a leader 

I do not want to copy the leadership I saw. 
I want to design the leadership I wish I had. 

Because the world needs more leaders who remember how it feels to be overlooked and undervalued.

and still choose to open the door wider for others. 

If you are a woman who feels ready for more leadership and more impact, send me a message. 

Let's talk about how to make that happen in your career.

If you’re always on autopilot, you’re not leading, you’re just surviving

As leaders, we are often taught to push, improve and optimize. 

And yes, I know becoming the best version of yourself is powerful.

But so is pausing to acknowledge how far you’ve come.

The reality is that too many high-achieving women operate on autopilot:

☑ juggling heavy workloads
☑ supporting entire teams
☑ hitting deadlines no one else could
☑ carrying invisible responsibilities
☑ and still feeling like they haven’t done “enough”

But leadership isn’t only about what you achieve.

Fulfilling your goals isnt about the destination.

It’s also about how you support yourself while achieving it.

Take a moment today to:

- Reflect on a recent win.
- Celebrate the effort you put in.
- Allow yourself to breathe freely without guilt.
- Recognize your growth, even if it’s quiet progress.

Because the women who thrive long-term aren’t the ones who push the hardest. 

They’re the ones who balance ambition with grace.

Your progress deserves to be acknowledged, especially by you.

Before you question your ability, question the environment evaluating it.

As BIPOC women in leadership, we've often 

experienced firsthand what it feels like to be underestimated or undervalued 

simply because we were in the wrong room, 
the wrong role, or the wrong company.

We know that our capabilities didn't change; 
the environment's ability to recognize them did.

This is why choosing where you invest your energy isn't selfish.

 It's necessary.

The question isn't whether you are good enough.

The question is whether you're in an environment that lets you thrive.

My bid to you this week:

Stop proving your worth in environments that don't value it.

Start actively seeking cultures, networks, employers, 

and communities where your value shines.

You don't lack talent. You might just lack the right conditions to show it.

♻️ Repost to encourage someone to find
spaces where they can thrive not just survive.

Ola almost missed her own promotion… over a typo.

When I first met Ola, she was brilliant, but hesitant. 

She’d spend hours perfecting emails, 
presentations, even casual slack messages, 

afraid of making a small mistake. 

One day, she almost didn’t submit a 

proposal because a single sentence didn’t feel “perfect.”

A psychological fear that existed only in her mind.

I coached her to trust in herself, take a leap: submit anyway. 

She did. 

The proposal was a hit. 
Her ideas, her voice, her impact, it all got noticed.

The proposal created a ripple effect that lead to her promotion.

Ola gradually realized confidence isn’t about perfection. 

It’s about showing up, even with small imperfections.

Now, she:

- Speaks up in meetings without overthinking every word
- Sends work out before obsessing over tiny details
- Lets her ideas lead, not fear

To women holding back over small things: 

your ideas matter, your voice matters.

You are enough. 

DM me if you’re ready to unlock your Ola 

moment and step into the career that’s waiting for you,

Work-life balance is a lie sold to professional women.
Hear me out

The system was never designed for you to win at both.

You're expected to:
- Lead like you have no children
- Parent like you have no career
- Show up early, stay late, and still make the school pickup
- Be ambitious but not "too much"
- Set boundaries but remain a "team player"

The mental load can be crushing.
And when you finally burn out?

They'll call your time management problem.

From my experience as a mother, 
professional woman, business owner and coach,

Here's the truth I've learned from experience:

Stop chasing balance. 
Start protecting your priorities.
Balance suggests everything gets equal weight.
It doesn't. 

IT CAN'T

Some seasons demand more of your career.
Some seasons demand more of your family.
Some seasons demand you choose yourself.

Work-life balance isn't about splitting yourself in half.

It's about being whole in whatever season you're in.

As a mother/professional/businesswoman, what's one thing you stopped feeling guilty about? 

♻️ Repost for the woman who needs to hear this today

You're doing the work but someone else is getting the credit.

We need to retire the idea that confidence has to be loud to be real.

Somewhere along the way, we learned a dangerous idea:

- That confidence has to be loud to be real.

- That the people who talk the most deserve to be heard.

- That presence equals volume.

But I've watched brilliant women lead quietly,

the ones who think deeply before they speak, 

who notice what everyone else misses.

And they're constantly overlooked.

What I want to see change:

✅Workplaces that stop equating volume with value.

✅Environments that stop only promoting people who lead like the folks already at the top.

✅That actually create space for all of us to lead authentically.

Because when we get to show up as ourselves, on our own terms,

That's when real innovation happens.

That's when equity becomes more than a buzzword.

If you're tired of being overlooked for promotions despite doing the work,

Send me a message.

Let's talk about how to change that.

Stop treating your LinkedIn like a digital filing cabinet. 

While you’re listing job duties, someone else is building a brand that recruiters can’t ignore.

Here is how:


1/. Your headline isn’t your job title, it’s your value proposition.

Instead of Marketing Manager,

try “Helping B2B companies scale from $1M to $10M through data-driven growth.” 

One states what you are. The other sells what you do.

2/. Your experience section should tell stories, not list tasks. 

Use this: Challenge you faced → Action you took → Result you achieved. 

“Increased sales” means nothing. 

“Drove 47% revenue growth in Q3 by implementing new outreach” opens doors.

3/. Show up consistently. 

Share one genuine insight per week. 

Comment thoughtfully on 5 posts daily from your target companies. 

The algorithm rewards engagement over perfection. 

4/. Get strategic with connections. 

Engage with recruiters’ content before pitching yourself. 

Add value first.

The jobs you want are going to people with better visibility. 

Your LinkedIn works for you 24/7, make sure it’s saying the right things.
