Inspiring People.
My inspirations! I hope these fine folks give you the inspiration you need to go deeper into life’s richness.
A bold and brilliant writer. I aspire to be like Chimamanda; bold, unashamed and truly authentic.
Bobs like the dad we’ve all never had. He’s kind, gracious and speaks to hard truths with so much whimsy, fun and clarity.
When Carrie speaks, time stands still and your hearts ear is picked. She is an intentional speaker with so much to say. Chances are it’s exactly what you need to hear.
Sadies life mission is to encourage people to live as the originals they were created to be. Every time I listen to her podcast, “Whoa that’s good” I feel like I’ve just sat in a round table with people who are filled with humility, experience and a spirit of generosity.
First african-american editor-in-chief of teen vogue. This woman is a trailblazer and a certified fod (first-only-different) with so much class and wit! She’s mesmerizing.
ZADIE SMITH

BURNA BOY
Burna showed me that i didn’t have to compromise who I was to be famous. He showed me this by staying true to his craft for years even before the world knew who he was. I remember seeing Burna live when i was in secondary school.
My then-boyfriend was obsessed with him and gave b all his attention. it was hilarious. i was so jealous of burna that day hahaha. Nonetheless, Burna won a grammy on his 8th album.
I can’t help but think of his belief in himself. He never compromised his vision of afrobeats. I am so glad he stayed with music - I learned that he dropped out of school and moved back to Nigeria to pursue his dreams. Boy am I glad he did.
