‘Finishing is better than starting, and patience is better than pride.’ (Ecclesiastes 7:8)
Finishing has never come easily to me.. For most of my life, I’ve been the girl with beautiful beginnings and abandoned middles; ideas that never made it to the end, songs that stayed in voice notes, dreams that died before they bloomed.
So this year I made a vow: finish something. A promise to honour the gifts God gave me… To choose discipline over doubt, obedience over perfectionism, and faith over the fear that someone else’s reaction determines the worth of my art.
So even when the resources didn’t show up, the support didn’t show up, the inspiration didn’t show up.. I pushed past my own hesitation, past self-sabotage, past that ever present voice that says “it’s not good enough yet”. And today… with a grateful heart and blurry eyes, I finished.
To every “Tolani, we want new music”… you reminded me I wasn’t creating into silence. Thank you for holding space for me, even in my unfinished seasons.
SH!T I NEVER FINISHED is out now on all platforms. My small victory. My answered prayer. My offering. 🤍✨

He told me growing up he had nobody to really look up to — because nobody looked like him.
