[SEEN] “Ada, are you afraid?” I was. Why were you afraid? They do not look like me. Why are you no longer afraid? The girls like me will see me. - @theijeoma. (Questions for Ada) • I am getting ready for the second edition of Brunch w/ AdeOla this weekend. I’m looking forward to time with five (5) amazing entrepreneurial women over food and conversation. • The first one featured @maudeyoaks @danielle_kristine @jasminedotsmith @adeolawrites and #kimberlysmith from @thebrownbeautyco_op and it was a blast. It was better than I let myself expect. I look forward to keep creating a space and deepening an experience for women who are launching, executing and creating that isn’t about selling but about celebrating. A space to engage in INTIMATE INFORMAL FREE- FLOW conversation around entrepreneurship and business ownership, and how these intersect with our personal lives and wealth building. • I’m also looking forward to amazing food by the official #BrunchwithAdeOla caterer @havesomecharisma. Food got a 5-star across the board. 💝 • Our gift bags was also popping with the #ladybossglass from @omolewa_cosmetics [07.18.19] 📸: @oh___socialcreative • • #brokenpiecesarebuildingblocks #storiessprinkledwithsilverliningperspectives
[HELLO THERE] The year 2019 is almost over 😝and I figured now is a good time to re-introduce myself. • My name is AdeOla. I am Nigerian #immigrant I claim Minnesota. I live in the DC Metro area. I love to live in peace and with joy. I love to dance and I don’t care who is watching as I shake my rump while I exist in my #blackgirlmagic and #blackgirljoy I am an extrovert but I have introverted tendencies. Freedom over most things. • Lately, I’m a blank slate and canvas, and I’m following my curiously. Nothing much has sparked my interest thus far. 😩 • I live and yearn to live unconventional. I think and yearn to think outside the box. I challenge and yearn to challenge perspectives. • Some things that have stayed consistent about me for as a long as I can remember are: •I don’t want to be anyone but me and I live authentically as me. •When my personal insecurities raise their heads, I deal with them. I don’t let them slide. •I don’t wait for anyone to create or give me opportunities. •I stopped blaming others when things go up in flame. I call them, and then myself out. I call myself out often. •I don’t always know what I’m doing, but I start and then figure it out. •I was brave, I got scared and now I’m on my personal journey back to brave. •My culture is secondary to my daily choice to live with agency. •Jesus is the only being that keeps my cray in check, and he does it through people ALOT 🙄🤣😩 [07.10.19] • • #brokenpiecesarebuildingblocks #storiessprinkledwithsilverliningperspectives
[LIMBO] This quote by @maudeyoaks 💝 adorned the brunch table at the first #BrunchwithAdeOla. It was cropped from a statement she made about what led her and her co-founder, @simonetetteh, to launch @bonntiapp. The quote is speaking about my life right now. • I’m at that POINT, but that SOMETHING is still elusive. Hence, why I’m a blank slate and canvas, but following my curiosity. I may share the journey as I go, but knowing me...🤔🤣... we shall see. I’m a private person and not necessarily an open book. However, I’m lately pushing my elbows out and stepping out of my comfort zones. But we shall see!

[BRUNCH W/ ADEOLA] Two Sundays ago, I gathered an amazing group of women 💝 together for an intimate brunch. It is something I have been yearning to do for years. I didn’t for various reasons. Top on the list were I wasn't sure who I wanted to bring to the table (still navigating that) and I needed and wanted to be clear about my why and my intentions (daily refining these). • The first #BrunchwithAdeOla was above and beyond what I expected. Actually, I didn’t let myself expect. I just wanted to bring my full self to the table and get through it with my ego and heart intact. BUT these ladies who are doing amazing work in their respective fields showed up, affirmed me and gave me the grace to expect. • Our time together was simply for affirming and connecting. It was transparent and vulnerable. It was a safe space. No hidden agenda! No pressure to deliver an elevator pitch. No need to be on. These women have done the work. They are doing the work. They are seen. My hope was to give them a chance to breathe, relax and connect in an intimate setting. I believe I did. I look forward to hosting more amazing women. Thanks @jasminedotsmith @adeolawrites #kimberlysmith @danielle_kristine @maudeyoaks .

[OH JULY] I didn’t get into the mid-year check in until this morning. I sat down for barely 10 mins to reassess the year thus far and so far so good...nothing rarely goes as planned or envision. Lol! I didn’t make any huge goals or milestone for the rest of the year, I just wrote down action plans by quarter (those could be seen as goals too I guess 🤷🏾‍♀️). • However, as @jasminedotsmith 💕wisely shared, I’m clear about a continuous investment in self, and commitment to defining with as much clarity what I want to achieve in all areas of life. Let’s get mad clear about our whys and heart desires. 07.02.19] 📸: @oh___socialcreative • • #brokenpiecesarebuildingblocks #storiessprinkledwithsilverliningperspectives
