I help women reframe and reset their self-limiting thoughts in order to optimize their goals and visions. My background of navigating the long and rigorous path to becoming a physician, experience as a young widow, journey to healing, and a passion to see women win has motivated me to be transparent about my own journey and encourage women like me to live an intentional and fulfilled life now!

Where are you from?
I was born in Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria. My family moved to England when I was three years old, and then to the United States when I was eight. I have moved around a lot, so I claim wherever my parents are as home. Currently, I'm repping Chicago, Illinois.
What is your ethnicity?
I'm 100% Nigerian.
How old are you?
I'm 35 :)
What college, graduate school, medical school did you attend?
I attended the College of Human Ecology at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York (go Big Red)!
I graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, Health, and Society.
Fun Fact: I applied early decision and got in on my birthday (December 10th).
I started my Masters in Public Health (MPH) at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA after graduating from college. Then I went on to start medical school at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN and completed my MPH between my second and third year. Subsequently, I graduated from my MPH in 2012 and medical school in 2014.
What do you like to do for fun?
I love to sing and dance. I was in some sort of choir until medical school and you can often find me blasting Afrobeats. I also have a unique skill for spacial arrangement and have a passion for decluttering and home organization. There’s something so peaceful about a minimal and fresh space. In an alternative universe, I would be the next Marie Kondo.
How do you balance your time between being a physician and everything else?
I have a Goal Manifestation List with what I want to achieve during the year saved in the notes section of my phone as a quick reference. I repetitively experienced burnout during my medical training, so two of my top priorities as an attending physician are self-care and healing. Therefore, I have alarms set throughout the day to give myself little gifts of love (e.g. morning meditation/devotional, morning and evening routines, and even to start my sleep hygiene). This allows me to anticipate and manage my energy so I can continue to add value to those around me.
