Why am I already crying before I even start typing this?
It’s been exactly a year since I walked out of my city finance job. The quickest year of life ever. There’s nothing more lonely than making a life-changing decision all on your own. So, mummy, this is for you. Thank you for coming round and seeing life from my point of view. And thank you for cheering me on at every point- for being my biggest fan. It’s so obvious how much you love what I do when you try and fail to do your ‘Mirror Me poses’. For leaving important meetings to come support me at a shoot, for helping me shut down every opportunity that was set up to take advantage of me, for staying on the phone with me in awkward situations until I didn’t feel awkward anymore, for being my voice of reason, for listening to my tears silently when lost opportunities broke my heart and for making me realise during my moments of doubt that I could stop trying to justify my decision to myself and to you- because you already believed in me. Even for giving me the most grief about being a little overweight because you know how happy slim makes me. Lol.
Thank you for your unwavering support.
If I had known that you would ride for me so hard this year then maybe I wouldn’t have had a panic attack and broken down in tears in the toilets right before I handed in my key card.
Nobody will ever know how hard the year has been for you, because you curve every ball thrown at us with such incredible tekkers. Thank you for teaching me to be a fighter.
I love you. I love you so very much. And I can’t wait to work from the glass office across the hall from yours.
Please support your children. Nothing matters more.

To your mom: Thank you!!!!….for being everything your daughter needed on her journey to fulfilling her soul. You may never know how powerful your support impacts her life but trust me with what you give her she can move mountains. I don’t know you or your daughter but I will give thanks today in my prays for such a bonded relationship and hope that one day I can say my mother did the same for me, no matter how long it took.
And to you: Women like you inspire me to step out (of my familiar ) and step up (into my calling). You have so much to look forward to and so much good is coming your way. (How do I know?!!) Because you allowed your self to leave what you already had to not deny your spirit of being truly fulfilled!!!
Your mother is a wonderful soul,having said that, you are a very courageous young lady to follow your heart. May God continue to guide,guard and direct you. Well done and good luck.
You are so lucky! Ms. Abi mothers like you are hard to find. I love you for Fisayo and the whole world of good you’ve done. Thank you for being an example to someone like me. God bless you.
Very heartfelt. I feel the same exact way about my mom. Cheers to all the supermoms out there!
