Honored to be named among @Essence #Power40 for 2024, alongside an incredible group of leaders whose work inspires me every day.
For me, championing culture isn’t just about inspiration—it’s about building community and creating opportunity. When culture is tethered to the business objectives, it drives real results.
Grateful for the opportunities to date and the journey ahead. 🙏🏿✍🏿 @kimberlynatasha@essence
Community is everything to me.
From NYC to London, Lagos to ATL and of course the DMV…my tribe around the world stays tapped in with each other via @whatsapp (admittedly, my response times are a work in progress…dont judge me lol).
Super grateful for a tool that allows me to stay connected with friends/family around the world. That said, lemme hop back into @whatsapp and respond to the random meme that my Dad just sent. And FYI im no longer responding to messages about Nigeria losing in the AFCON final 😩😂
Big shout out to @whatsapp , @vivianodior , @ourhomecoming and my sis @graceladoja for connecting community around the world. #TheresNoOneLikeUs
12× All-Star. Top 2 all-time in assists and steals. One of the greatest floor generals the game has ever seen.
Chris Paul reflects on an unbelievable run — and the excitement of building what comes next.

We proudly celebrated Nigerian Heritage Night with an unforgettable blend of culture, sports, and inspiration.
The evening featured a Post-Game Q&A, moderated by Dr. Seun Adigun, and an all-star panel including NBA Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon, Nneka Ogwumike, TJ Adeshola, and Head Coach Ime Udoka.
They shared powerful insights into their journeys, the richness of their Nigerian heritage, and how sports and culture beautifully intersect.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special celebration! 🇳🇬

Birthday Teej!
At my big age lol, I find myself more and more appreciative of the waking moments of each day.
I continue to be grateful for all the things: my praying momma, my family and friends, my 6’3-ness, my “alleged” fake laughs in pictures…and most importantly, the gift of LIFE.
Thanks for the bday love 🙏🏿🎈
