If you feel sh*tty as the year ends, this is for you.


Every December, LinkedIn turns into a highlight reel.
Promotions. Spotify Wrapped. Achievement threads.
A never-ending carousel of “wins.”

But for many people?
This season feels heavy.

Maybe you were laid off.
Maybe you quit a job that was dimming your light.
Maybe you’ve been searching for months with no direction — hi, same.
Maybe you’re exhausted from chasing every opportunity because “a bird in hand is better than none.”

I get it. Truly. 🤗 

Here’s my unpopular opinion:

Not every year is meant to be a highlight reel.

Some years are meant to break you open so alignment can finally walk in.

This year might have felt slow, stagnant, or confusing because it wasn’t a harvest year, it was a planting one.

Bozoma Saint John  (queen of reinvention) has gone through losses most of us can’t fathom. And still, her biggest blessings only showed up when she stopped chasing and stood still long enough for alignment to find her.

Read that again.

Standing still isn’t failure.
Standing still is strategy.

So if you:
→ Lost opportunities
→ Turned down things that didn’t feel right
→ Walked away from misaligned jobs
→ Spent more time waiting than winning

You’re not behind.
You’re being positioned.

2026 might just be your harvest year but only if you stop sprinting toward things that were never meant for you.

Hot question for you:
What’s one thing you’re no longer chasing?

Being in a room full of bold women will either humble you, inspire you, or ignite you. 
For me, it was all THREE.

On Tuesday, I had the chance to attend a founder-led event by Rathbones that I can only describe as equal parts inspiring, grounding, and necessary.

Picture this:
→ Women building products from scratch
→ Women navigating funding conversations still shaped by bias
→ Women who are so busy leading, they forget to plan their exit strategy (not just selling but what happens if they step away?) Vivienne Heyhoe

One founder, backed by neuroscience created fragrances designed to trigger specific emotions. Audrey Semeraro
I literally spent 10 minutes smelling science-backed perfumes EDENISTE parfum and rethinking my entire olfactory identity 😂
Innovation is wild.

But what struck me most was the collective honesty in the room.
The VC who admitted how few women get into venture.
The founders who shared how their pitches are picked apart detail-by-detail…
…while male founders get funded based on vibes, ambition, and future projections.

It’s frustrating.
It’s familiar.
And it’s exactly why spaces like this matter.

We talked about:
→ The cultural shift needed to fund women the same way we believe in men
→ Why female founders need to think about legacy and exit planning early
→ How audacity—yes, audacity—remains a survival skill for women in business
(Something I preach often: state the facts, show the value, and take up the space you’ve earned. 
Call me if you need some coaching 😉 )

But the highlight?
Meeting a brilliant young woman in sixth form Adeola E whose future is blindingly bright.
Moments like that remind me that representation isn’t just nice to have, it’s necessary fuel. ❤️ 

As Thanksgiving approaches, my heart is full.
Full of gratitude for the women who build boldly.
For the women juggling ambition, family, burnout, creativity, and still showing up.
For every female founder, operator, investor, or intrapreneur breaking ceilings quietly and loudly. Kate Bond Maria Grogan Lettie Burton Caroline Ericsson Louise Thomas Anna Ostergren Jo Goodall Ester Moya Dr. Fangzhu Yu Iwona Kerr

And a huge thank you to EKATERINA DOUBININA Caroline Rausch, CFA for curating such a meaningful experience.

To every woman on this platform:
I see you.
I’m rooting for you.
Thank you for taking up space in industries that were never designed with us in mind.

I thought I’d work at the United Nations until life handed me a different path entirely.


Today, Snapchat reminded me of a moment I didn’t realize would transform my whole career. 
7 years ago, I was at the World Economic Forum speaking about a project on #AIandchild rights, fully convinced I was on my way to becoming an international human rights lawyer. 

That was the dream. That was the identity. That was the path I thought I was committed to.

But that presentation, that room, that conversation shifted something so deeply that I didn’t even understand the impact until much later.

I left UC Berkeley not with law firm plans, but with a new passion for technology and online safety, a field I had never imagined myself stepping into and one I built without writing a single line of code.

I still remember the long nights in 2019 when I was learning everything I could about #trustandsafety, digital harms, social media regulations, and platform accountability. 

It was hard, it was overwhelming, and sometimes it felt like I was moving blindly, but it was also one of the most rewarding choices I’ve ever made.

 I’m grateful for the younger me who took those risks, followed her curiosity, and believed she could create a new path from scratch.

Tomorrow, I get to share this story with professionals across Africa especially in Nigeria — as we talk about career pivots, breaking into tech, and building meaningful work even in an industry that looks different than it did a few years ago. 

People are still breaking in, still making impact, still building legacy, and still proving that tech has room for purpose-driven paths.

So if you’re entering this year with a desire to pivot, grow, or simply understand how to begin, consider this your invitation. 

I’ll be breaking down my journey, the frameworks that helped me navigate it, and the lessons I wish someone had told me earlier.

Thank you Jeremiah Ajayi for the invite

 P.S. I genuinely can’t believe how young and fashionable 24-year-old me looked in that photo. 
Time is flying and I’m just trying to keep up. 😂

International Men’s Day isn’t just a date. 
It’s a reminder to appreciate men beyond words. 

Growing up as the only girl in my family shaped the way I see men.
I was surrounded by brothers and male cousins. 
Later found myself in male-dominated spaces again, in law school, in tech, and in many of the rooms I work in today.
Those environments taught me something powerful: men feel deeply, even when they’ve been conditioned to stay silent.

Over the years, I’ve learned that many men struggle to reach out when life gets complicated.
Not because they don’t want support, but because they were never taught that asking for help is part of strength not the opposite of it.

So what has actually helped?

→ Creating space without pressure.
Some of the most meaningful conversations I’ve had with men happened when I wasn’t trying to “fix” anything. I was simply present, listening, and letting the silence be comfortable.

→ Showing interest in the things they genuinely love.
I used to be a serious Arsenal fan — like shouting-at-the-TV serious — and watching games with classmates and coworkers often created an unexpected emotional bridge.
It’s funny how talking about football can lead to talking about real life.

→ Building communities where men feel safe to show up as themselves.
When I served as the Lead for TikTok’s Black ERG in Ireland, I saw firsthand how powerful it is when Black men have a space where they can express their frustrations, fears, wins, and hopes without judgment.
Those moments reminded me that safe spaces aren’t a “nice-to-have.” They are essential.

As we celebrate International Men’s Day, I honour every man who has shaped my journey —
-the colleagues who advocated 
-the sponsors who opened doors,
-the friends who showed up with honesty and vulnerability,


Thank you for the ways you lead.
Thank you for the ways you show up.
And thank you for trusting the people around you with your truth, even when the world expects you to keep it all together.

Now I’d love to hear from you:
What has helped YOU or someone you know feel more comfortable asking for help when things get difficult?

Ps. i got to match outfits with the stylish Mattia Calvello, PMP at 2024 Marketplace Risk 💚  who wore it best? 😉

When I was 10, I memorized billboards. 
This week, I met the people who create them. Wild. 🤯 

Growing up, I didn’t obsess over the products in magazines.
I obsessed over the campaigns.

The concepts.
The storytelling.
The creativity.
The possibility of someone who looked like me being the face of a global ad.

I wanted to be a model.
Or an ad woman.
(Yes, I contain multitudes 😂)

Last week, something full-circle happened.

I found myself at the Media For All [MEFA] awards filled with the very people who make the ads, campaigns, and cultural moments I spent my childhood dissecting.
And the best part?
Their commitment to inclusion + diverse representation is real not a buzzword, not a checkbox.

Which means…
the chances of someone like me showing up on a screen, in a campaign, or on a billboard?
Exponentially higher.

To everyone I met that night, thank you for the warmth and the wisdom, and to Evelyn Oluwole, thank you for inviting me into such an incredible space. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners too!

And to my 10,000 readers:
I’m manifesting at least ONE #blacktie event before the year ends (I have dresses, trust me 😉 )
If any brand or agency is looking for a fun, memorable, dynamic face for an upcoming campaign, I’d love to be part of the creative magic. 🔥 

What’s one childhood dream you secretly hope circles back to you?

Ps I am obsessed with the 1st photo, the colors... ❤️

One DM turned my summer into a partnerships era I’ll never forget.


This summer was the summer of partnerships.
What started as a simple outreach for a ticket turned into behind-the-scenes access at one of the biggest events of the season: Formula E.
Not doing this alone, as i had the brilliant Yemurai R as my co-host

We worked with Andretti Global, interviewed drivers, highlighted STEM careers across teams, and amplified the work of women in #motorsport.
Representation matters and it was powerful to document it in real time. Girls on Track UK

And the impact?
100K+ impressions and countless new people discovering what makes this sport and its professionals extraordinary.
Thank you Liv Perry Tabithah Lacy-Smith (née Rahman) for the opportunity 

I had the absolute time of my life, and I’m excited for what’s ahead as Formula E kicks off Season 12 in Brazil this Saturday.

If you’re a comms or partnerships lead looking to:
→ spotlight diverse professionals
→ showcase the culture + innovation behind #motorsport
→ tell stories that blend STEM, visibility, and impact

Send me a DM, I’m your girl.

Ps. I had way too much fun making this recap edit 🔥  lmk what you think ⬇️ 
PPs who knew "Too Big for your boots" is a hype song?

2025 in Summary 😅

Anyone else or is it just me?

If i had to start my career from scratch, ONE thing i would invest in: My Network


One of the smartest moves you can make is to cultivate a strong and diverse network. 
Remember, no one climbs the ladder alone: "your network is your net worth."

Here's a playful challenge for the ambitious social butterflies on LinkedIn: 
Why not meet a new face every week? 

That's right, 4 fresh connections a month!

Let's dive into some savvy and fun ways to broaden your horizons and forge meaningful bonds:

1. Cold Outreach with Warmth: Drop a charming note to 5-10 people you admire weekly. Propose a quick coffee chat or a virtual meet-up. Keep it light and friendly!

2. Friendly Introductions: Nudge your current connections for intros to new faces. There's magic in a friend-of-a-friend introduction!

3. Hit the Scene: Get out there! Attend industry mixers, conferences, or local gatherings where like-minded folks flock.

4. Join the Club: Tap into professional groups or niche communities that spark your interest.

5.Learn and Mingle: Enroll in workshops or classes that not only educate but also help you meet fellow enthusiasts.

6. Volunteer with Heart: Engage with causes you care about and meet others who are just as passionate.

7. Sweat and Socialize: Jump into social sports or fitness groups. It’s networking with a dose of endorphins!

8. Digital Hangouts: Stay active in online communities across LinkedIn, Reddit, or Facebook. It’s like mingling from your sofa!

9. Bookworms Band Together: Start or join a book club. It’s a classic way to connect over shared stories.

10. Master the Social Media Maze: Use platforms like LinkedIn to fish for potential connections in the vast online sea.

The truth no one wants to say out loud about AI
The teams who win are the ones who can storytell, not just code.

This week, I spent two hours with the incredible leadership team at Masakhane African Languages Hub, sharpening how they communicate complex, world-shaping AI work to global audiences. Masakhane

We focused on speaking with:
→ Confidence
→ Clarity
→ Cultural Power

One of the most powerful moments?
We took their most complex AI concepts and Masakhane’s deeply rooted organisational values and broke them down so simply that a 5-year-old could understand the story.

Because if you can translate your mission for a child, you can translate it for the world:
funders, policymakers, global partners, and the communities you serve.
Clear. Human. Resonant.

Because when your mission is technical, layered, and deeply rooted in community impact, your voice must travel just as far as your research.

In the room, I watched researchers transform dense explanations into stories that were clear, compelling, and culturally grounded, the kind of storytelling that makes funders listen and policymakers care.

Here’s the truth: If your voice doesn’t enter the room, your impact never will.

✨ If your organisation is:

→ Working in AI, tech, or innovation
→ Preparing leaders for global stages
→ Struggling to translate complex work into simple messaging
→Or shaping your 2026 visibility strategy…

I’d love to support your team.

I run bespoke workshops on communication, visibility, and executive presence, built to help leaders connect with any audience.

Your work deserves to be understood by the world, not just experts.

Visibility isn’t vanity,  it’s strategy.
Few weeks ago, over 300 people showed up to learn why and how. 🤝🔥

I’m still blown away by the comments, the takeaways, the messages, the DMs.
 Thank you. Truly.

Your reflections reminded me exactly why I do this work.
Because in 2025, your digital presence often speaks before you do.
 It’s not just about what you can do…
 It’s about who knows you can do it.

During the session, we focused on one thing:
Shifting from complacent → confident.
→ Building a personal brand that attracts the right people
 → Communicating your value clearly and unapologetically
 → Using online platforms with intention, not anxiety
 → And learning how visibility creates opportunities long before you step into the room

Most of our biggest breaks don’t come from applications.
 They come from conversations.
 From a post someone remembered.
 From a “Hey, I saw your comment…”

We also walked through the H.U.S.T.L.E. Framework (trademark pending 😉 )
✨ H – Have a sense of self
 Know your why before chasing opportunities.

✨ U – Understand the market
 Know what’s in demand and where you fit.

✨ S – Sacrifice your ego
 Feedback grows you. Pride blocks you.

✨ T – Trust your gut
 Sometimes intuition is data in disguise.

✨ L – Leverage your experience
 Your receipts are already there — use them.

✨ E – Energy
 It introduces you before you even speak.

I’m so grateful to every single person who attended, commented, shared their “aha” moments, and walked away ready to show up differently.

If you attended: what was your biggest takeaway?
 Drop it below — I want to hear it. 🔽✨

And if you’re looking for a workshop facilitator or a comms executive to elevate your employer branding and internal visibility strategy, my inbox is always open.

I shouldn't share this but this real secret to breaking into a new industry:


Your authenticity 

Last week, I had the honor of speaking on a virtual panel hosted by EmpowerQ — the first organization supporting queer professionals in Nigeria.
A full-circle moment for me, and a necessary conversation for our ecosystem.

We talked about #TrustandSafety, the industry that protects users online, creates safer experiences, and quietly shapes what billions of people see, share, and engage with.

I broke it down the way I wish someone had done for me years ago:

→ What Trust & Safety actually is
→ The paths within it (policy, comms, investigations, public policy, product & more)
→ And the big question everyone had:

How do you break into a new industry when you don’t know a single person?

Here’s the advice I shared the same advice that helped me build a career from Law to Tiktok→ Twitter → Oversight Board → global stages:

Authenticity travels further than connections.
Your personality, your story, your lived experience, that is what opens doors.
Your expertise matters, yes, but your authenticity is what makes people remember you.

Huge thank you to everyone who attended and engaged thoughtfully.
And special thanks to Jeremiah Ajayi for the invitation, I’m grateful you trusted me with such an important conversation with Nneka Idika Daly Daniel U.

If you’re building panels or curating conversations for 2026, I’m now opening my books for speaking engagements on:

→ Digital Trust & Safety
→ Online Safety for Marginalized Communities
→ Authentic Leadership & Visibility
→ Career Growth and Breaking into Tech

My DMs (and inbox) are open.

Let’s build safer, braver digital spaces together. 🌈✨
