I left Sierra Leone this morning to participate in the Aqaba Process Heads of State and Government meeting in Rome, Italy.
As the Chairperson of ECOWAS, I anticipate that this meeting will yield valuable insights into addressing the security crisis facing our West African region.
“I’ve got rice at home.”
You’re all you’ve got.
No one is coming, and if someone does come to help, they may not stay. You are alone, and the life you want is up to you.
The best advice I can give to anyone trying to build is to PUSH!
When I started my company in 2013, I worked 6 days a week, 10 hours a day.
I knew that because I was young and female, most people weren’t going to take me seriously. I knew I would be underestimated.
I decided the only way to push back was to start and fail fast and never make the same mistake twice. I went where others were too posh to go. I showed up early and stayed late. I had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge in my field. I read books. I followed the experts. I watched YouTube videos. I tried new ideas and new ways of doing things. If something worked, I studied it. If something didn’t work, I studied it. I didn’t dwell on my mistakes or failures; I just kept moving forward.
I come from a middle-class family, so I never had to worry about the roof over my head, food, or basic comforts. I had those privileges that many Sierra Leonean youth may not have, but for the most part, if I hadn’t worked to build, all I would have are those basic privileges. Is that all there is to life? Basics?
Not for me.
There are two ways to move forward: you can take the steps or you can take the lift. I’m not saying one is better than the other, but I can tell you that taking the hard way up builds muscle memory, teaches lessons, and allows you to practice getting up when you fall.
Fodom en grap, was yu grap!
As a young woman or man, you can get ahead with patronage or lay belleh, but that’s a shaky way to build. There’s a fast way to go for sure, but my experience has taught me that this longer, harder path that I chose allows for a level of freedom and sustainability that the other way would never permit.
Nobody no get natin for hold over me. I’m no bird and no net ensnares me!
Since I returned to build on the continent in 2012, I have had to turn down a lot of offers of “I’ll take care of you.” And those ‘butu’ offers still come though cloaked in different language, but ah, it feels good to be so free and so well-placed that I can smile at all the pen!s for business opportunities and say no thank you I have rice at home.

🗣 Sir Jim Ratcliffe on the 450 jobs axed and the removal of perks: "The costs were just too high. There are some fantastic people at Manchester United, but there was also a level of mediocrity and it had become bloated.
"I got a lot of flak for the free lunches, but no-one's ever given me a free lunch.
"The biggest correlation, like it or not, between results and any external factor - is profitability. The more cash you have got, the better squad you can build.
"So a lot of what we have done in the first year is spend an awful lot of time putting the club on a sustainable, healthy footing.
"We're not seeing all the benefits of the restructuring that we've done in this set of (financial) results (United last month reported record revenues of £666.5million for last season but a loss of £33million for the financial year) and we were not in the Champions League.
"Those numbers will get better. Manchester United will become the most profitable football club in the world, in my view, and from that will stem, I hope, a long-term, sustainable, high-level of football." [The Business Podcast via @irishexaminer] #mufc
🗣 Amorim on Sunderland: "It’s not just the table and the results, which are in the end what matter most, but it’s the way they play. They have a clear indentity, they have a very good manager and they are a good team."#mufc
I’m so glad my Afro is coming back. A year from now it’ll be high and juicy.
I really do love my hair even tho recent behavior might suggest otherwise 😂
🚨 Sacking Ten Hag now will cost #mufc around £17.5m. That's around half the amount the club saved from making 250 employees redundant. [@RichMartinMcr]
