“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” “Marianne Williamson.

As a little girl, my biggest dream was just to attend the University – the particular one that was very close to my home. I wanted to just become a graduate and get a job – that was a big dream for that little girl growing up in a rural town in Nigeria. But God has done exceedingly abundantly beyond what I could ever ask or think. I did not just go to the University ( though I actually went to that same university I desired), I learned, I served, I had amazing relationships and I grew. Today I am an entrepreneur, coach,  blogger, project manager, food scientist, nutritionist, wellness promoter, sustainability enthusiast, christian drama artist….and most importantly I am REDEEMED BY GRACE and surrounded by love.

I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow. Every day I am BECOMING – I am becoming who God designed me to be. I am learning, I am growing, I am acting, I am winning. When I fail, I learn from it and I rise up again. It is a journey, and I am getting stronger and better every day. 

I believe health is wealth; and as long as we stay healthy, we can improve our money, business, and relationships. 

I believe we all can thrive in every aspect of life including school, career, health, relationships, finances, walk with God, and more; if we are willing to put in the work. 

I am on a mission to inspire one more child, teenager, young adult, and family to develop the grit and wisdom needed to thrive and live their happiest healthiest life as God designed them to be.

As a health coach at foodporch.com, I create and share healthier recipes, nutrition tips, fitness motivation, and wellness information to help you thrive and live a healthier happier life.

I also work with the amazing volunteers and staff at aspirehub.org; training and mentoring under-represented youth towards improved sustenance.

I host Thrive Beyond Limits, an online program about mindset development, self-esteem building, developing a healthier lifestyle, success habits, goal setting, and more; designed for kids, tweens, teens, and their families; where we use stories and fun activities to inspire participants to live a healthier happier life that enables them to go for their dreams in today’s complex world.

I write to my #dearaburo to be more, to #thrivebeyondlimits, to become better and achieve more. 

I founded AspireHub to help more under-served children and youth overcome barriers to their success, just as I overcame and still overcoming. 

I founded FoodPorch, to work with my friends as we live healthier, manage stress better eat better, move more and live our healthiest happiest life.

I am proudly Nigerian, and I like to write about my Nigerian lifestyle – our food, our culture, lifestyle and more. 

 I also reflect on being a black woman and a woman of color in today’s world. 

I hope you enjoy reading my articles as much as I enjoyed writing them.
