My grandma was born in the village in Nigeria at a time where girls were not sent to school
That meant from then until the time of her passing in 2022, she never learned to read or write
Despite this, she worked her butt off as a trader in order to afford my mum's school fees when she was growing up
This is because, to this day, education is not free in Nigeria
My mum was then able to move to the UK in the early 80s, where I've been born and raised, and push both me and my sister all the way to degree level
Now I literally get paid to write and help others to do the same by leveraging PR to get more visible, attract their dream clients and get paid what they want
Like with Media Magic (the luxury retreat that I held in Tulum, Mexico in July teaching business women how to get PR for themselves)
In that way, I am not only a living embodiment of her legacy genetically, I am a living embodiment of her ideals about what is possible when people (women especially) are given opportunities
As I've been reflecting on her life since the anniversary of her death
(Which was just 6 days before the retreat)
I've been asking myself some questions that I'm going to share with you
What do you want your legacy to be? Are you living in such a way now that this is how you will be remembered? If not, what needs to change?
Grab your journal, notebook or a piece of paper if- like me- that helps you get your thoughts out better
If one of the things that needs to change is the way that you show up and make impact in the world, will you join the waiting list to get early access to details about next year’s retreat and first dibs on early bird tickets here?
