Making God Proud in 2019

My year in 2018  started first with my recognition as a recipient of the Okay Africa Okay 100 women award. I was honestly taken aback because I didn’t expect it at all. To be sincere for a while Okay Africa was one of those platforms I was getting tired of because I felt they were one sided in how they told stories and stories saturated from particular spaces of influencers or regions on the continent but the Okay 100 2018 list gave me hope that they did their work! I remember when the list went live I took my time to praise God and didn’t share I think for almost a day until people started to recognize that I was made it. I was the first Sierra Leonean woman ever to make the list and it was for my work with women and girls. I remember how necessary it was for me to spend time with my God first before I even went public with the list.  In May of 2018 I decided to take a break and focus on flourishing my fairly new launched business and hosting an event in Sierra Leone. After some much needed work I needed some selfcare time with my close family members.  I also took some time to seek the face of God for what he wanted me to birth come 2019.  This year for me is all about making God proud in intentional ways and not human beings. The Okay 100 Women List was an amazing honor to God be the glory and I know there is much in store that will inspire many women globally. 

That year one of my projects I will engage is my podcast titled Tea and Peppersoup.  I decided to launch Tea and Peppersoup as a way of service to share my life insights as well as others who are close in my intimate space. The podcast focuses on my career journey through social impact and entrepreneurship through the lens of faith and wellness. You can listen to it directly on my website. I hope you have an amazing and prosperous new year and I look forward to sharing more with you soon!
