Her words:
"First I'm Nigerian and I've lived in Europe for over 20 years. Honestly, I was burning out. I needed to be around people that looked like me. Also, I was fortunate to have some savings from my corporate job. Nigeria was cost effective and it let me chase my dreams."

"Nigerians have one of the most innovative designers in the world. The fashion scene here is having its moment, and I wanna be trained somewhere where the culture is rich."
