I came across this docuseries on Comedian and Actress Yvonne Orji’s Instagram page recently and wasn’t disappointed. This 13-part series looks at Nigerian creatives and their contribution to the global landscape from the continent. As someone who loves business and enjoys the behind the scenes insights into how people innovate, this was a great show….
I’ve been a mother most of my adult life. The oldest friends I have have never known me without children. The thing is I don’t remember if I ever dreamt of being a mother but I certainly considered it a natural stepping stone in life. I was in a long term relationship when I had…
So it took me a whole week to watch episode 2 as it was my first week back in front of clients and I wasn’t really in the mood. However, finally watching episode 2 reminded me that each episode has been pure comedy and we all need laughter in our lives. So in this episode,…
I love a vision board. It’s my favourite thing to do leading up to the new year and it’s usually filled with visual representations of what I wish for myself, words, phrases and pixtures to inspire me.

It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m watching a news story spread like wildfire amongst Black women in every corner of social media. This…
As I hit my mid 30s I started to notice a worrying trend: I was disappearing. I’ve always been someone who is quite proactive when it comes to searching for opportunities and then I started to notice that the older I get the more I’m seemingly excluded from them? So for context I’ll be 38…
So I haven’t watched in The Apprentice for a long time as the format had begun to feel a bit samey and over done. But when I heard my brother in law (in my head)* Tim Campbell MBE – the first ever winner – was returning I actually had a reason to watch. So for…
I think the adult version of me has always wanted to be an agent. Childhood Juanita wanted to be a journalist, a clothing designer and a paediatrician but in later years managing talent became a thing.
