πŸ’žBUNMI πŸ’ž HOME OWNERπŸ’ž

I came across this article in the Metro yesterday. Bunmi and I have met a few times through mutual friends and we have bumped into each other during lunch breaks when we worked in the same area. When she was working saving that coin! The article explains how Bunmi moved back in with her mum after a break up with her long term boyfriend, she seized the opportunity to save up her earnings and purchase a home!🏠 Bunmi did intensive research into the 5% deposit scheme and decide that this was a route to purchasing a home that would work for her. Bunmi sacrficed her love for travelling and made diligent cut backs with her expenses. Shortly after she was able to save a deposit for her home and buy a 50% share. In under 3 years Bunmi saved Β£12,000 and was able to buy more of her property. Shortly Bumni saved enough to purchase 100% of her home! Bunmi had to sacrfice luxuries for the bigger picture! She had her priorities aligned! I hope …

πŸ’ž REANNE WERUCHE OPIA πŸ’ž ACTRESS

It’s funny because I feel like I know Reanne but I really don’t.lol. I first came across her years ago during the buzz of her street wear apparel line “Jesus Junkie”. Everybody was buying it. I admired how she went against the connotations that can be linked to faith and religion and instead made it cool & confident, she made it a statement. Today she still represents her brand Jesus junkie but can also be found on your TV screens, local theatres and your movie screens …yes, that’s right…all of them! Reanne lives out the career I once wanted so bad..to be an actress! She has acted in the UK TV series, Top Boy which premiered with a viewing of 1.1 million, performed at the famous Young Vic theatre, Royal Court theatre amongst others. She will be on your local cinema screens from the 21st August in the @badeducationmovie acting alongside the comedian @jackwhitehall if you can’t get enough of her after that she will still be on your cinema screen starring in the romantic …

πŸ’ž KORAL LEIGH WEBB πŸ’ž FOUNDER & DIRECTOR OF LEWIS & LEIGH FASHION PR AGENCY.

Koral and I interned together at a PR company in our younger days lol. We were both in Uni then I think, trying to build on our fashion internship experiences so that we could be our own versions of Anna Wintour & Kelly Cutrone that we so admired in the industry. I remember Koral prepping for her internship at Vogue, a position she hoped to get so that she can intern there after finishing at the PR company. I remember all of us interns and others wondering if she got it and how “wow” it would be if she did. Koral returned to work a few days later and shared her success! An internship at Vogue. Major! Shortly after I finished my intern I returned to university to complete my final year and was contacted by @jordanjoshualewis he explained that Koral and him were working on setting up their PR company (keep in mind we were only in our early 20s!…22 at the most i’m sure!) they wanted to know if I could help manage …

πŸ’ž SARAH AKWISOMBE πŸ’ž AWARD WINNING BLOGGER, INTERIOR CONSULTANT AND STYLIST

I bumped into Sarah a long time ago when she used to host these pretty cool events in central London. She was this cool blonde chic rocking trainers and had this I don’t give damn kinda attitude. I randomly followed her on instragram a year ago now and along the way have become massively inspired by her journey & growth. Sarah was fired from her job last year and then decided to delve herself into her passion of interior decorating. It is here that Sarah birthed her blog. She explains in her blog “When I first started blogging i blogged religiously three times a week”. Sarah also adds ” it would have be something very important to sway me from that schedule.” . Sarah’s blog has been running for 18 months and she has since achieved two blogging awards,has been featured in The Metro, London she has also caught the attention of various major companies and now works as an interior design consultant and advisor . I haven’t finished there… Sarah is also building her …

Lola was raised in the UK, after completing her degree in Law she started her own beauty business, manufacturing and retailing a range of human hair eyelashes. After launching her business here (I remember attending it, the location was gorge…by the river!). The next thing I heard was that she was relocating to Nigeria, Africa to expand her beauty business. Lola’s lashes have been worn by all of Nigeria’s famous beauty faces, Tiwa Savage, Lola Rae and the list goes on…πŸ“. Lola has also works in the music business, which has provided her the opportunity to hang out with Africa’s hottest artists, Wizkid, Lynxx amongst others 🎢. From seeing Lola at college where she was a pretty tom boy chick, always in joggers and a snap back to seeing her on social media shaking up the Nigerian beauty world. We salute you. Lola inspires women to be business savvy, confident & support instead of compete. πŸ‘­. I will also highlight Lola’s friendship circle.A group of women that are pillars to each other on this journey …
