Yes! That’s my wife and daughter getting ready for the 6 a.m. Mass. I had just finished getting dressing and was sitting on the bed, waiting for them, when I captured the moment.
I have a couple of sketches of them getting ready in front of the mirror, but this particular one deserved to be painted.
My mom wanted to read law in the 1980s... was transferred to education. She became a teacher... D she still had that passion, went back to OAU law in 2016, graduated in 2024 (strike and corona issues) was called to bar 10 days before she was 60.
30 is not too late for a dream.
For this month and that’s a lot to me. I no fit remember the last time that account receive credit alert that’s not from myself”
I discharged that convo with cruise but it changed something inside of me.
No be to only take from abroad, try dey give back. It means a lot to them.

…EXCELLENCE REPORTS 🎉🎉
.
Over the last 6 months, I’ve received a few excellence reports — often when and where I least expected them, simply by doing my job.

📸 2 : An ANP I worked with during a night on-call put in the excellence nomination.
- My on-calls are usually hectic, and as the medical registrar, I’m often managing the sickest patients in the hospital (a large tertiary centre )..
- It was genuinely heartwarming to receive that email — especially because, looking back, I was simply doing my job and being my true self.
.
📸 3: I worked a single shift in a different trust as the med reg on call — managing the sickest medical patients in resus and on the wards, and helping with the acute take.
- To me, I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary: stabilised patients, scanned where bedside POCUS was needed, inserted chest drains/taps, and handed over the fewest number of patients — something I think they noticed amongst other things.
- Receiving that excellence email, especially from someone I never even met, was incredibly humbling.
.
📸 4: Also during an on-call shift, I was the med reg covering the wards and supporting the acute take. As always, if I’m not busy on the wards, I help clerk the sickest patients.
- I didn’t even realise that the time from referral to treatment and setting a management plan for one particularly unwell patient stood out — until I received the email.
- It’s those moments you don’t think twice about that often leave the biggest impact.
.
To every doctor, especially IMGs and people of colour, who’s ever wondered, ‘Will I be accepted? Will my work be enough?’ — let me say this: do your best, no matter where you are. Let your work speak louder than your worries.
.
Consistency, excellence, and integrity don’t go unnoticed. Respect and recognition will follow. Keep going.

Christmas in Lagos was a great watch.
There’s so much I love about it; seeing Waje again, exploring dating at an older age, grief, friendship. So many stars but nothing seemed all over the place.
That French chef was gold!
Well done @jadeosiberu ❤️
