WHAT DO YOU DO?
Took me a while to say this boldly, but, I’m a full time blogger/Vlogger/Influencer. Sharing my life as a wife, mother and daily living as a disabled black woman who is originally from Nigeria, living in the USA certainly is a full time job. LOL
I am also a part time photographer.
WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
California, USA.
WHAT DID YOU STUDY IN COLLEGE?
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science In Nursing.
WHY ARE YOU NOT WORKING AS A NURSE?
Nursing just didn't work out for me, and after some years of working in cooperate america, I decided to take a leap of faith and focus full time on content creating/photography.I WANT TO BLOG TOO. HOW DO I START?
Start with what you enjoy and can talk about for hours! What are you passionate about?
Start right now and stop procrastinating. Google all of the questions you have no matter how "dumb" you think they are. You will be surprised at how many articles or videos have answered those questions over and over again.
Be authentic.
CAN I MAKE MONEY FROM BLOGGING/YOUTUBING? HOW?
This is a really popular question and while the answer is a simple "Yes", I must say it won't be as easy as you think. Blogging or creating video content for youtube takes time, dedication and lots of work. But as you do all this, your brand will grow and you should eventually start making some money from it.
Personally, I make money by working with companies through brand deals, sponsored blog, video and social media posts and also through Google Adsense (from youtube videos).
ARE YOU MARRIED?
Yes I have a husband (who I fondly call "Le boo"). I also have a daughter :-)
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Born in August 1989.
WHY DO YOU STILL SEEM SO HAPPY EVEN AS A WHEELCHAIR USER?
It's the God in me. I truly owe my joy to God and the positive spirit he has blessed me with. Though life isn't always rosy, I have chosen to keep hope alive and strive to live my best life. I must give a mighty shout-out to all the great people God blessed me with as well. A strong support system does wonders in ones life.
HOW INDEPENDENT ARE YOU? CAN YOU DO EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF?
I am 100% Independent physically and can do everything I need to do by myself. This doesn't mean I don't ask for help when necessary though. I share more about my day-to-day life on my youtube channel. I've shared how about how I drive my hand controlled car, how I exercise in the gym and lots more.
HOW WAS IT BEING PREGNANT AND DISABLED?
