Winning a blitz bronze at the last All Africa games in Accra Ghana remains the most difficult and cherished medal in my collection. This event was a single/mixed double event and you can't hide - you must play with best in the continent if you wanna win any thing and I won!

My book launch was truly a wonderful and memorable experience.

A heartfelt thank you to @thegiftofchess for all the support and for believing in me enough to make me your youngest ambassador. Choosing to see my potential beyond my young age has made a huge difference in my journey.

To @chessinslums and Uncle @Tunde_OD, being welcomed into your family is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Your impact and encouragement mean so much to me.

Uncle @Tunde_OD, your name was mentioned in my book because of how you inspired my dad to truly believe in the power of chess and the opportunities it can create for young people like me.

I am deeply grateful for every lesson, every opportunity, and every act of support along this journey.

Feyi was just 26, yet, she was dealing with stage 4, cervical cancer. Back in 2021, a doctor mentioned HPV to her during a checkup. She said she understood and would follow up. Then…

[Aproko Doctor Global @aproko_doctor]

Then it’s worth sharing. Women don’t have to die because of something preventable.

Retweet. Share with as many people as possible.

And tell me, have you gotten the HPV vaccine?

A STORY WORTH TELLING✨

In 2019, I finished Secondary School at OBMS (Oritamefa Baptist Model School) with 9A1's in WAEC (One of the happiest moments of my life was the night I checked my result) and this was later rewarded as the best WAEC result in Oyo State in 2019 by the Oyo State Government ✨

What follows usually is direction of the course to apply to. Naturally, most people had expected MBBS or Electrical Engineering.
So everyone, including my teachers were surprised when I chose Physiotherapy (I did my research across many courses and came across a very beautiful course🥹). Tbh, I didn't even know how extremely beautiful the course was then.

OBMS at the time in 2019, due to my WAEC result gave me a scholarship to attend their A'levels Programme for Free.
Due to the Strike and Covid-19 Pandemic, We could not resume yet and I was able to attend it. I started at A'levels February 2020 and applied for the May/June Examinations (very rare, this happens). I had 3A's in the process (however, I didn't use the A'levels result to process any admission as I already got UTME admission in 2019 and was just waiting to resume)
I am always glad I was able to attend it though. I met some really amazing friends.

Interestingly, I didn't know how it would be to transition from doing well in Secondary School to doing well in University. I just really maintained composure✨🥹

So looking down the line,
16+ leadership positions later (including President of the Association of Physiotherapy Students and President of Exercise is Medicine On-campus University of Ibadan Chapter)⭐

🎖️16 medals including 7 golds medals (in Football, Basketball, Quizzes)

🏆 Winner of the ACAPN International Scientific Conference Inter-University Quiz Competition (against schools that had 2 representatives each, I was the single representative from UI)
🏆 Winner of the ABH League and the Coach of the Season as well as entering the Team of the Season in my debut season as coach (my first match of the league was a 5-1 defeat, after that we went on an unbeaten run till the end of the season) - We received a VVIP ticket to watch Shooting Stars as Team of the Season

📗Egbe Omo Oduduwa Scholar (awarded to the highest performing students from Yoruba States in UI)

Millennium Fellow '25 (with a project on improving Physical Fitness, covering over 10 Universities, SDG 3)

30+ certifications (including Awards, Recognition and Trainings)
ABH most Versatile and Leadership Award of the Year, inclusive.

I appreciate everyone that has been a part of the journey. It wasn't always easy and there are a lot of details missing still about the different challenges. I would love to share those too (instead of just results). I appreciate my mum, sisters, brother, friends and my best friend (and woman) for always supporting and pushing me.

Physiotherapy is such an amazing Profession. I hope to share more about its beauty to as many that will love to learn.

Right now, I am pushing to learn more about the nervous system, neuroplasticity and neuroscience whilst trying to further understand the concept of pain and build on the area of Pain Gate Theory.
I will appreciate any form of partnership and collaboration in that field of study and research.✨
