What has been your proudest accomplishment in your journey so far?
My proudest accomplishment is founding Paint and Sip Studios by FR, Nigeria’s pioneer paint and sip studio, and being recognized twice for the Under 30 CEOs Awards in Creativity and Arts.
It’s been a culmination of my passion for art, creativity, and community-building. Being recognized at the Under 30 CEOs Awards in Creativity and Arts in 2018 and 2022 has also been a significant milestone, validating my dedication to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.

Where passion meets creativity, magic happens.
How do you unwind and recharge when you’re not organizing events?
I unwind by creating art – it’s my therapy. Losing myself in vibrant colors and textures helps me recharge and refocus and other times I unwind through cooking, just making a hearty meal for me and my family to enjoy does it for me.
