Busy Girl’s Guide

As a Nigerian girl, finding security through a man wasn’t just advice… it was the version of womanhood I inherited.

It took me years to let go of that story,
to risk safety for fulfillment, to trust that I too could provide for me and my son.

That belief didn’t disappear overnight, I shed it layer by layer.

I think that’s what becoming really is.

Not always becoming something new…. sometimes it’s the courage to shed what was never yours.

A serpent doesn’t apologize for the skin it’s outgrown.

Neither should we 🐍

In high school, I used to track which hallways my crushes used so I could “accidentally” walk past them looking good.

It was basically an audition nobody asked for 😂

Now I’m way more interested in getting to experience the moment.

The butterflies.
The rush.
The excitement of being drawn to someone.

Turns out attraction is a lot more fun when you stop treating it like a test. And ironically, that version of you is more magnetic ✨

Not performance.
Presence.

Being misunderstood used to really trigger me!

You know that feeling when someone decides who you are or what you meant and it’s just NOT true?

For a long time I thought if I could just explain better or say the right thing, I could make them understand.

But I had to let that go to step into my power (especially online).

Turns out, when you’re rooted in your truth, it feels less urgent fix someone else’s perception of you.

That’s confidence.

To all the Moms doing the lord’s work 🖤🙌🏽🥂

These small adjustments aren’t about perfection, they’re about presence.

Slowing down, being here,
and intentionally getting back into your body.

Being present changes how you move through the world and how the world meets you back.

Here’s to taking a seat at ANY table like you already belong, with your whole self 🤍

You’re not awkward…
your body just doesn’t feel safe.

So that nervous energy
looks for something to do
instead of staying with what you feel.

So it’s not “what do I do with my hands?”

It’s this:

Pause.

Let your hands be still for a second…

feel what’s there
notice it’s just sensation.

Then soften

slow down
stay with yourself
move on purpose & let your hands land.

Feel the difference?
That’s the shift.

You don’t need to fix your hands
you just need to stay💋

Sleep ugly to wake up pretty 😆

I thought becoming a mom in college meant giving up my dream of traveling the world 🌍

Yet here we are, not only doin the dang thing, but with a whole new appreciation for what’s possible.

What once felt like sacrifice turned out to be my deepest expansion. Paris, je t’aime 🥹🫶🏽
