    • I ran into a Nigerian accountant at a Starbucks during undergrad. He struck a conversation with me and was in disbelief that I didn’t want to pursue a career in healthcare, business, law or engineering. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Socialization is powerful. Unfortunately, there’s an idea within the African community that you can only be successful in a STEM or business-related field. It’s a very narrow and toxic way of thinking. I’ve always been passionate about education. So, I chose to use my gifts by earning an M.Ed. I chose not to limit myself. I chose to be happy. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ For anyone who feels discouraged about pursuing a goal, this message is for you. Stop worrying about what others think or disappointing them. Are you chasing God’s dream for you or the dream provided by your family? Those who truly love you will always be rooting for you, and that includes The One who has placed the dream inside of your heart.
    • I am overwhelmed with joy. Today I received my Master of Education in School Counseling from my alma mater, Georgia State University. Praise the Lord! And in typical Nigerian fashion, I had a dress made for this milestone. Next up, Ed.S.! 💛👩🏾‍🎓🇳🇬
    • Alexa, play “Beautiful Surprise” by India Arie 🤧💛
    • Learning to be more carefree. ✨ I realize that I have been wearing my hair down a lot lately and feeling good about it. This is a huge milestone for me. I only wore it down a handful of times last year, still feeling insecure about the length and my haircut. But that’s how confidence is built - by doing things that make us uncomfortable. 🌷
    • Today I am 26. 🎈Lessons learned last year:⁣⁣⁣ 1. Healing requires a lot of unlearning.⁣⁣⁣ 2. The only validation I need is the one that belongs to Christ. ⁣⁣⁣ 3. I deserve to take up space. My presence matters. I matter. ⁣⁣⁣ 4. It’s okay to cry. There is strength in vulnerability.
    • Finger-lickin’ good...and I don’t even like licking my fingers 😋😆 Can you guess the secret ingredient in these vegan chocolate fudge brownies? Black beans! Y’all, you can’t even taste the beans. Whew. I also added cacao nibs, dark chocolate chunks, and walnut pieces. They are amazing 👌🏾
