"I’ve learnt that you should never wait for people to help you to become successful."

"I am inspired by a lot of women who have come before me. I am inspired by people who had been told they couldn’t do something but pushed through and overcame it."

"New York City made me dream big, but Nigeria has given me a chance to actualise those dreams."

"I think it’s great to live your “best life,” but after all is said and done, your impact is what counts."

"It’s not a Nigerian issue, it’s global; we see that women have not been adequately represented in various fields across the board."

"A feminist is someone that simply wants something “better” for women, so I think everyone should be a feminist."

"I would say my most incredible years were when I lived in NYC, because I learned that anything is possible."

"Under our mission to give back, our three areas of focus are education, poverty eradication and empowerment."

"I'd be honest with every man or woman who wants to be successful."
