So Lagos happened and I am still not over it 😭
I went for We Move Summit, got nominated for Personal Trainer of the Year (female category) and yes I didn’t win but honestly? I am so grateful I was even seen at all.
But that was not even the highlight of my weekend.
The highlight was meeting Auntie Kate Henshaw in person. This woman is even more beautiful and full of life when you see her face to face. I walked up to her and told her she has been a huge inspiration to me, especially doing this fitness work in a space that is mostly men. I needed her to know that.
Then during her speech for Fitness Influencer of the Year, she called my name. Haaaa as in Oluchukwu o 😆
She referenced something I said earlier and I honestly did not know whether to laugh or cry or just run out of the building 🤣🤣🤣
After the event I got to chat with her briefly and when she told me I am already on the right path, it just renewed my courage completely.
There is something about hearing words of encouragement from someone you have looked up to for so long. It does not just motivate you, it settles something deep inside your heart.
No trophy came home with me but something far better did.
Thank you for your warm reception, God bless you ma‘am

My heart is honestly full.
Since sharing the feedback from the Guinness World Record attempt, the amount of love, encouragement, prayers, kind words, reposts, messages, and support I have received has been overwhelming in the most beautiful way.
Thank you for seeing the journey beyond just a title.
Thank you for recognizing the discipline, resilience, courage, preparation, sacrifices, pain, healing, sleepless nights, and determination that went into this attempt.
To my steppers, thank you for standing beside me, stepping with me, motivating me, and bringing your strength and energy into this dream.
To the medical team, thank you for caring for me, supporting my recovery, and helping me push through physically demanding moments.
To every volunteer, sponsor, partner, friend, family member, supporter, and every single person who contributed in any way, thank you deeply. You helped build something meaningful.
Together, we completed a 24-hour, 30-minute step aerobics session. Together, we created awareness around cardiovascular health. Together, we inspired people to believe that limits can be challenged.
This journey reminded me that community is powerful, support is powerful, and courage is contagious.
I may have carried my name on the attempt, but I did not walk this journey alone.
Thank you all for being part of this story.

There’s a part of every big dream people rarely see.
The pain.
The setbacks.
The quiet moments where you wonder if your body will even allow you continue.
About six weeks before the GWR attempt, my right big toe got badly infected. It became swollen, painful, and impossible to train properly with. I had to pause training for weeks, go to the hospital to have it drained, and keep returning for wound dressing while trying to recover.
For a while, even walking normally became difficult.
But life did not pause.
I was still a mother first.
Still waking up early.
Still preparing my children for school.
Still showing up for responsibilities.
Still trying to train from home however I could.
There were sleepless nights.
There was frustration.
There were moments I felt behind.
And even on the event day, my toe was still not fully healed.
But I knew one thing: I did not come this far to allow one difficult season stop me completely.
This journey taught me that resilience is not always loud. Sometimes resilience looks like limping into purpose anyway. Sometimes it looks like trying again after pain. Sometimes it looks like carrying fear, exhaustion, responsibility, and still choosing not to quit.
These photos hold pieces of that story. ✨
