Thereâs something deeply personal about watching a story come to life⌠especially one youâve lived with in your own head for a while.
What started as a simple brief became long nights of rewriting, reimagining, building characters, stretching scenes, and carefully stitching together a continuation that would still feel true to the world that already existed.
Stories are delicate things. They require care, intention, and a certain kind of honesty to tell them well.
So yes⌠this one will always feel a little special to me.
Iâm looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds on screen. đżâ¨
Congratulations to @dimboba@karachiatiya and the team on bringing #StrongTheMovie to life. I'm proud to have been part of the journey.

For two days, I stepped out of my usual rhythm and into something that felt both unfamiliar and deeply necessary.
I attended the AI for Women in Development and Public Service training hosted by the Africa Hub for Innovation & Development, led by Dr. Kunle Kakanfo, and truly, it stretched my thinking in ways I didnât quite expect.
Not just what AI can do, but how to think with it.
From learning how to engineer prompts that actually deliver results, to building agents that can automate tasks and solve real, practical problems⌠it was a deep dive into a future that is no longer âcomingâ, itâs already here.
And hereâs what stayed with me:
AI is not just a tool.
Itâs a shift.
A shift in how we work.
A shift in how we learn.
A shift in how we solve problems at scale.
For those of us in development, the implications are significant. Efficiency is no longer just about working harder or even smarter, itâs about leveraging systems that can think with us.
During the training, there were moments where my mind felt stretched⌠and moments where things just clicked. That quiet realisation that there is so much more we can do, if we are willing to learn, unlearn, and step into it.
Because the truth is simple:
AI is here to stay.
And we have a choice: to be part of the movement, or to watch it move without us.
Personally, Iâve chosen my side.
Iâm especially excited about what this means for my work in Supply Chain, particularly in optimising vendor engagement. From prequalification to performance monitoring, I can already see opportunities to make processes more efficient, more transparent, and more responsive.
And that, for me, is where it becomes real, not just theory, but application.
Grateful for the experience.
Grateful for the stretch.
And even more excited for what comes next.
Supply Chain is one of those careers where you are constantly learning, constantly adapting, and constantly solving problems.
Over the years, these five skills have helped me grow, navigate complex situations, and build a career I am proud of.
If you're a woman working in Supply Chain, or thinking about entering the field, develop these skills early. They will serve you for decades.
Which of these skills has helped you the most in your career?
Let's talk in the comments.
And if you know a woman building a career in Supply Chain, send this to her.
We rise faster when we support each other.

Is this you?
Are you the colleague people hesitate to approach because they know theyâll be met with a sigh, a frown, or a wall of resistance?
Let me ask a simple question: Do you like earning your salary?
Because if you do, then why are you carrying âshodaâ like this isnât the very job you once fasted and prayed for?
Now listen. I understand. Work can be exhausting.
Some days youâre navigating colleagues whose emotional intelligence is still loading.
Other days people ignore timelines, disregard processes, and show up expecting miracles at the eleventh hour.
And yes, sometimes you are the firefighter, the one everyone calls when things are already burning.
There are absolutely moments when you must draw boundaries. Professionalism does not mean tolerating bad behaviour. But here is the real question:
What happens when your role is client-facing?
When people must come to you for help?
When your function sits at the centre of operations and becoming a bottleneck, whether justified or not, creates ripple effects across teams, suppliers, programmes, and ultimately the people we serve.
Thatâs where mindset matters.
My dear tired Supply Chain professional, agility is not optional.
And yes⌠sometimes it must come with a smile.
Being an agile supply chain professional goes far beyond moving paperwork or enforcing procedures. It means shifting from rigid planning to a mindset built on speed, flexibility, anticipation, and solutions. It requires both technical competence and emotional intelligence, the ability to interpret data, read people, and guide systems through disruption.
Because disruptions will come. Some unexpected. Many are entirely predictable. But your ability to see the bigger picture and keep things moving is your superpower.
You know your work.
You know your stakeholders.
You already know who will come late, who will come unprepared, and who will unintentionally make your job twice as hard.
So take away the chaos before it starts.
Anticipate. Prepare. Communicate early.
Donât wait to fight fires.
Fireproof the system.
That is the quiet power of a great Supply Chain professional.
Not just solving problems, but designing systems where fewer problems happen.
Leadership is not about having all the answers. Itâs about building systems that allow people to succeed. When women support women, we donât compete for space, we expand it. #givetogain #iwd
They said come in your Sunday Best. Ango and I got the memo and the best dressed award, so my 2026 is off to a great start, if you see me default to my tee shirt and jeans call me out đ I enjoyed this work week away because everyone showed up and brought their A game. From a Leadership perspective, team strategy and review meetings are very important. Not just for alignment or bonding, but for building a culture and a drive that becomes synonymous with our output. As a client facing Unit with multiple stakeholders, excellence is our mandate for 2026. For me, this is not only a professional goal but a personal one as well. I hope your 2026 is off to a productive start, here's to building the lives we prayed for bit by bit #workingmom #girlboss
Itâs only the beginning of MarchâŚ
and somehow it already feels like weâve lived a whole extra year.
The pace has been relentless.
Calendars layered on calendars.
Workshops. Deliverables. School runs. Voice notes. Prayer calls.
Smiling in meetings while mentally calculating dinner, deadlines, and data bundles.
This working-mum life?
It is beautiful.
It is chaotic.
It is purpose-filled.
And it is exhausting.
Some days you are the strategist.
Some days you are the soft place to land.
Most days you are both, at the same time.
To every woman carrying responsibility with graceâŚ
To every sister building vision while raising humansâŚ
To every mother who is tired but still thankfulâŚ
May it all align for us this year.
May our efforts produce fruit.
May our children flourish.
May the work of our hands be established.
May strength meet us where sleep did not.
We are not behind.
We are not failing.
We are building, even when it feels like survival.
In Jesusâ name, may this year reward our obedience, our consistency, and our faith.
We move. We trust. We thrive! #workingmom
POV: A 5-photo reel about Millennials â a gentle roast, from the inside
We are the generation raised on dial-up tones and hope. Old enough to remember life before Wi-Fi, young enough to still believe things can get better. Chronically nostalgic. Mildly delusional. Emotionally attached to ringtones.
Millennials parent with feelings. We explain, we validate, we apologise. Our children know what emotional regulation is but are suspiciously immune to threats like âwait till we get home.â Soft voices, firm boundaries, inner child fully present. Very emo.
Millennials manage like weâre running a group chat. Transparent. Trauma-informed. Big on âhow are you really?â Still results-driven, but allergic to nonsense. We want performance and peace. KPI meets therapy session.
Somewhere along the line, we became the generation that has to ask Gen Z and Gen Alpha, âwhat does that word mean?â
Why are they speaking in riddles? Why is everything a vibe? And when did side-eye become a full sentence?
Surely weâre not that old yet⌠right?
Just tired. Self-aware. Emotionally literate. Still trying to make sense of the economy and the slang.
Millennials: raised by pressure, powered by humour, parenting and leading with heart, and quietly Googling words the youths invented five minutes ago #millennials
I grew up on old movies, the black-and-white kind. The ones where music burst into colour, where glamour was effortless, and where leading men and women didnât just act⌠they sang their hearts out.
Early 90s in Jos, when the cartoon characters obediently jumped back into their box at 4pm and the screen exploded into the TCM logo, I was always ready. Ready for Humphrey Bogart, the quintessential tough guy. For dashing leading men like Cary Grant, James Stewart, and John Wayne. For legendary women: Bette Davis, Ingrid Bergman, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck, and the unforgettable bombshells: Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Lana Turner.
The only sadness was knowing that era had passed me by.
Until Broadway.
Access may have been limited, but curiosity never was. I followed the shows I loved from afar, courtesy of YouTube and late-night rabbit holes. To finally experience it in person is a privilege I donât take lightly.
This show #moulinrouge had everything! My favourite pop songs, a phenomenal stage and crew, and that unmistakable magic that makes you forget the world for a few hours.
Once again, New York has done what it does best.
It showed off.
And quietly stole a little piece of my heart. â¨đ
