It helps me stay connected, inspired and informed, more importantly it gives me an outlet for expression and collaboration. I use facebook, twitter and instagram. I used to be on myspace. I think I was the oldest Nigerian woman on myspace. lol
Q: Life balance is important. How do you achieve that?
I'm not sure I do. My work can be fun and my fun can be work. That's pretty difficult to gauge. I have made a conscious effort in the past 3 years to balance and be well inside.

I like the quote "what would you do if you thought you would not fail?"
