Meet Your Host

I am excited to finally meet you.

​

Hello, my name is Margaret Ojochide Aligbe. I am a budding creative who is passionate about community development, transformative learning, building enduring partnerships, and wholesome living.

​

I pride myself on being a self-starter and authentic. A scholarship changed my life and gave me a platform to reach out for bigger dreams. My story spans three continents (Africa, Europe, and North America). It is a story of determination, hope, faith, and adventure. I am a living manifestation of what a Black woman can achieve against the odds. In a world that reminds women that age and having children can be a reason to aim cautiously at dreaming big, I am proof that you can begin your life again and chase your wildest dreams. As a mother of three gifted children, I am on a journey to rebuild my dreams from the ground up and inspire women globally. I own my journey through the highs and lows, I celebrate the woman I have become.

​

I enjoy writing about everyday stories. I am a foodie and an avid reader across genres. My works have been featured on different platforms, including BusinessDay Nigeria, The Eco-Instigator, Bella Naija and other platforms. I have written for Tagged 4Uppsala at Uppsala University, Sweden, and on perspectives at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.

​

My first self-published book titled "Candid Conversations: Life. Lessons. Growth" is available on Amazon and Selar. Through my newsletter, podcast, and blog, I will share bits of my inspirational story as I reflect on trending social issues productively for my audience. To support my creative journey, consider buying something special from my store.

​

My first degree is in Agricultural Economics and Extension from Kogi State University, Anyigba, Kogi State, Nigeria, and a Master's degree in Sustainable Development from Uppsala University, Sweden. I am an Oskar Morgenstern Fellow (2023-2024) at Mercatus Centre, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, United States of America, with other professional qualifications. I am a seasoned professional with a decade of experience spanning communications, content creation, social enterprise development, community partnership building, transdisciplinary research, data analytics, and project management.
