As someone working in big tech and running a side business, it's even more crucial to be painstakingly clear in what you will do and not do to support your goals.
Ever set big goals only to fall short? Been there!
Many people set goals without ensuring they have the right processes, behaviors and resources to support those goals.
I’ve decided I want to share more on X about how I build a career in big tech with growing a side hustle product-based business, so figured I would say hello!

Some of my 2023 business highlights:
- 2 Product Design collaborations with people of influence
- Named as one of the Best Black-Owned handbag brands to know in 2023 by Elle Magazine
- Got accepted into a Showroom, beginning our journey into getting into departmental stores
My favorite way to unwind when I'm not working or side-hustling is going for a bike ride with the husband. (Fun Fact: this actually made it into my wedding vows last year haha)

A friend of mine sent me a picture a couple of days ago, and my heart has been so glad. She was on a train and the person beside her happened to be carrying an Olori bag! (And she snuck in a picture for me)
I can’t tell you what it feels like for people to spot my brand in the wild.
Like, really!
I’ve built a brand that folks get to spot randomly out there. It’s surreal.

Hope is not a strategy.
As the year draws to a close, many of us find ourselves in a reflective state, evaluating our year and thinking about what we wish to achieve in the upcoming year.
Hope is a positive mindset, but it's not a strategy.
For your aspirations to materialize, hope must be accompanied by careful planning and decisive execution, ensuring you not only set goals but also take the necessary steps to reach them and avoid disappointment.
