About Me
My Story
As a child, I loved to teach.
I was, and still am a fast learner and a story teller, this made it easy for me to be able to teach my friends and classmates when the need arose. My father, God rest his soul, wanted me to go into the teaching profession as a PHD holder and maybe become a professor some day.
But I knew that path wasn’t for me.
You see, many year ago, I had resigned from a very good job, moved cities and started a beauty business. As a novice in the area and a shy girl, I found it difficult to let people know about my business. This led me to discovering and learning digital marketing, website design and blogging. I applied all these to my business and it soon became a household name, attracting both local and international clients.
I fell in love with the technology and digital marketing parts of the business, I started teaching it and running a digital marketing agency alongside my business.
In 2017, I started another blog, shelearnshere.com, this time for digital and business skills to help my friends learn about digital marketing and business funding opportunities. The vision grew, and in 2019, She Learns Here initiative for skills empowerment was registered as a nonprofit organisation in Nigeria.
Once again I applied the online visibility skills I had learned leading to us having grants, and collaborations from far and near.
Through all this, I didn’t forget to build my personal brand as I was building my business and nonprofit through content marketing, thought leadership and more. This has led to many paid speaking engagements, webinars, online courses, awards, and recognitions. I have also been able to make impact in people’s lives through mentoring and coaching.
I invite you to join me in this impact-driven visibility journey so that you also can become seen, make impact and income.
Trust me, it’s a fulfilling life!
