For eight years, I dreamed of standing on that stage and delivering at the highest level... just like Professor Mike.

This year, that dream became reality.

[Emmy Williams🇳🇬 @MrEmmyWilliams]

When I stepped onto the podium at the Akin Deko Main Auditorium, I felt the butterflies immediately.

Don't blame me... who wouldn’t?

This is the same podium where presidents, governors, ambassadors, kings, queens, emirs, professors and celebrities have stood.

I took a deep breath, stepped into my element, and gave it everything I had.

And in the end, Inspire X Summit 3.0 was signed, sealed, and delivered.

Over 1,000 young people filled the hall, hungry for innovation, growth, and possibility. The energy in that room was undeniable!

If you're a creative, I just want to remind you that you will fail in this industry.
Not once.
And definitely not in ways you can hide.

There will be times when;

- Your film will get rejected after you believed it was your breakthrough.

You know why?

In this space, failure is not what ruins you.

Failure is the most important ingredient in your soup of success.

So fail forward. Fail early.

[Emmy Williams🇳🇬 @MrEmmyWilliams]

Failure isn’t something you pass through. It’s something you grow through.

Failure is not a side road in filmmaking. It’s the training ground.

As much as I don’t wish you to fail, I want you to always hope for the best and be prepared if... sorry, when you fail.
