Junior Achievement Nigeria (JAN)

The 50 girls took a creative journey into the entertainment industry through Biola Alabi, CEO, Biola Alabi Media and Titilope Sonuga, Poet & Brand Ambassador, She Will Connect Program-Nigeria. Biola and Titilope help the girls see the possibilities of creating change through entertainment and shared their path to success in their creative fields and how to look past negativity.  The ladies answered a very critical question; one we all ask ourselves when we look back on our lives, "what would I tell my 15 year old self?" At the end of the discussion Titolope shared an amazing, soul stirring poem on overcoming our fears. Happy viewing.  Article and Photos by: Petra Erhiyoma, JAN
