Career
We all have what we want to be, and so does She. Her initial interest was fashion before things destiny moved her into fitness. This is what she has to say about how it all began;
“I never thought I would be doing what I am doing today. Since I was about six years old, I just wanted to be a fashion illustrator.
“I was always drawing clothes and sewing clothes for my Barbie dolls. I never played any sports growing up so fitness wasn’t something I explored. And living in Nigeria, fitness wasn’t even something you saw females doing.
“My fitness journey started when I went to the gym with a group of friends randomly. And I didn’t go there to work out. I just went to hang out. There, I picked up a few weights. I struggled but it challenged me mentally and I loved that. That is what really made me fall in love with it.”

“It was never about looking a certain way or achieving a fitness goal. It helped me mentally. And it was a hobby at the start, a good distraction from everything that was going on around me. Quickly, it became a form of therapy. But never did I imagine that it would become what it is today in terms of my business and career.”
Today, she has become a celebrity in her line of career and can be seen in the gym sometimes with popular actors even outside Nigeria.
