I have been blessed this year, and I barely have words to break down the details. At this point I cannot complain, and I mean that with my whole heart. Moving to a space of existing abroad as an immigrant where I can finally access the resources I need to do business and invest in properties—bringing all those wild dreams to reality and connecting with the right people in this country comes with such a beautiful feeling. I am thankful to God Almighty for opening this one door.

I am grateful to finally catch the break I desperately desired. Prayers, laughter, and tears have been sown on this journey. Back-to-back disappointments, doors slapped in my face because I have heard many times that I did not quite "fit the criteria or category" of people catered to. Depression, confusion...seeking help but not quite getting the solutions I need.

Well, now, the tide has changed, and things are different for me as a resident in this beautiful country. So, I say THANK YOU, CANADA and to everyone who supported me to get to this point. Those scripture-backed prayer points and confessions were not in vain. God did! God did! Yes, a girl can dream, and a girl should dream mighty dreams because the door is wide, wide open. Canada Day comes with a different vibe now! If you know, you know.

Happiness

I have moved on from scholarship and study abroad content because I have evolved on my immigration journey as I explore and grow with time. I decided to shed that scholarship skin and connect with a new audience because the danger of people connecting with you at a specific stage of yourself is that you stay in that niche so long, you may struggle to evolve for fear of loosing your niche audience. So, if you are still following me for "scholarships and study abroad" I am no longer in that space. You see now, I write more about everyday lived experience from my perspective, and I am going back to the roots of my love for expressing myself through writing. The typos may be loud, but I am no longer bothered about perfection.

Simple Yet Beautiful

I am exploring new opportunities focused on my career, family life, and starting a business around the Skinfully Booked brand. I am working on creating my brand identity such that I can tell my story to connect with a yet-to-be-determined target audience. On the other hand, I don't want to try too hard because I need an audience. I want to enjoy the process as much as I can create and not be burdened with fitting a specific mold. I want to keep enjoying the simplest things and remain my ordinary self as I progress. I am already a unique being, and that is enough contentment to allow me to believe in my gifts and connect my brand with people who can relate to the brand identity.
