Some days I just want to cry…
Some days I laugh…
Some days I dance like nobody is watching.
But every single day, one truth remains the same:
GOD DON OVER TRY FOR ME.
When I look back at my journey, it still feels unreal.
I studied Mass Communication in Nigeria, and even though creativity was always in my blood, life didn’t hand me a straight path. I didn’t grow up with all the resources. I didn’t have the perfect portfolio. I didn’t even know what “creative industry” really meant at the time — I just knew I loved to design, write, and create things that made people feel something.
Then I applied to study Graphic Communications in the UK.
My school asked me for evidence of my design work.
Samples. Proof. Something to show I could truly do this course.
At that moment, I froze.
Fear wanted to embarrass me… but grace carried me.
I didn’t have the fanciest designs. I didn’t have industry mentorship.
But I had raw talent, passion, and the courage to create something from scratch — even when I doubted myself.
I put together what I had… and they accepted me.
Today, everything that once looked like a disadvantage has become part of my story as a Graphic Designer, Creative & Digital Specialist, and someone building a career step by step, day by day.
And this is why I’m sharing this:
💛 Your background does not disqualify you.
💛 Your journey can start from anywhere.
💛 Your passion is enough to open doors—if you dare to show your work.
💛 Start with what you have. Build from where you are.
💛 And never underestimate what God can do with your little.
To every young creative, especially those coming from Nigeria or any part of the world where opportunities feel far away:
Please don’t give up.
Document your work. Create small things. Learn consistently. Your “nothing” today can become your “evidence” tomorrow.
If God can take my simple passion for design and turn it into a global journey, He can do more for you.
Keep creating. Keep growing. Keep believing.
