A BIT ABOUT ME
I am a young Nigerian lady who loves putting her best into whatever she decides to.😊
You know, while I was much younger, my dad always emphasized to me one of his favourite quotes which is "what is worth doing is worth doing well". so I guess this spur me into exhibiting such traits.
I usually ask myself if it's worth doing and if I get a Yes, I sure hope to do it really well.
I am an avid reader, a passionate educationist, a certified member of TRCN, a graduate of University of Benin and a willing learner😊
Yes oh. The willingness to learn, unlearn and relearn is very Important in this dispensation based on my observations.
I aim to stay dynamic and evolving as a writer and never stagnant.
I Also have a flair for creativity and innovation.
I loved drawing back then in primary and secondary school days.
I used to draw diagrams like Amoeba, Hydra, spirogyra, skin, fish, hibiscus flower and more in biology and Agriculture science for my classmates and get paid; as we were really much in class and they always loved my diagrams.
I enjoy creating things out of nothing or unexpected places.
I always want to bring out something productive from raw materials.
I see possibilities.
When I look at a fabric; something say's within me, "what unique creativity can emanate from this." and boom; something definitely pops up.
Trust me, the outcome is usually mind blowing.
okay
Yes.
so you know, this drive gave birth to my skill of which is my occupation today.
I Am A Professional Fashion Designer.😊
I enjoy turning fabrics into a Victorious Elegant AND Exceptional outfit for my customers and they put it on and they shine forth, just as the brightest star in the galaxy.
Hence the name of my fashion brand, VEESTAR FASHIONS.
Fashion designing isn't just a business for me; it's been a hobby.
Sometimes, I could stay awake all night and even forget I was initially hungry while making an outstanding outfit for my customers.
In addition to this, I Love learning and educating people as well.
I teach on strategic seminar topics on personal development at lecture centres in collaboration with Samsab Empowerment Foundation.
I love writing as well. I wrote my first book on attaining mental health and wellness in the year 2022 while I was posted for my NYSC.
And then my second book "teach me to love" in the year 2023.
I was only able to publish the soft copy on Amazon but I'm yet to publish and print the hardcopy. I hope to do so.
I have a book I'm currently working on now.
Well, guess what, some days, I get inspired while making an outstanding outfit for my customers.
Hence, I usually have a pen and my book just by my mirror shelf. so, sometimes, while sewing, If i get an inspiration for my book, I just write it down immediately and when I'm less busy, I then begin to elaborate on them.
GROWING UP
I am really grateful to God for his grace upon my family.
While I was a kid, my family could afford most of our basic needs and even more.
My parents owned a school.
But then something happened and all that aje butter life gradually started to changed
It was hard, I must confess but I and my family just had to stay strong.
I encouraged my siblings whenever I could and they were usually there for me too in the best way they could.
After my mum lost her government job while I was in secondary school, my younger brother had to drop out to a cheaper secondary school just nearby my house; so I could finish up but still, things got really tough that I had to drop out to join him.
After getting admission to study in the university, I almost didn't go to the university due to lack of funds but miraculously, I later did. Things haven't really been easy but by God's grace, we have been pulling through as a family.
After schooling at the University, I wanted to perfect my sewing skill, but there was no funds for that.
I had to borrow from a relative first and saved up until it was enough to pay back.
I later decided to further my skill after my NYSC and work under a professional.
This was really a tough one.
But I did it for VeeStar fashions with God's grace.
MY HOBBY
I love dancing; it keeps me feeling better, flexible and excited.
I laugh at my new steps sometimes and then practice the step until it looks reasonable and nice.
Creating new steps gives me a good vibe.
I also enjoy singing. And I love my voice too😊
yea yea.
I remember a long time ago, I asked a friend of mine who sings Very well; how she knew how to sing and if she could teach me.
She then said to me that I have a good voice and if I keep singing, I will eventually get it right someday.
Well, I have been told that I sing way better than I used to. I noticed that for myself also.
so I enjoy singing.
Reading is also something i Love doing.
It's just like an adventure. I get to reach out to something new, something different , something insightful.
VISION
I dream big.
I put my best in what I do.
Discipline, diligence and determination are my managing directors. I take orders from them in respect to my business to thrive.😊
I want to build my fashion brand and generate more amazing outfits for my customers around the world so that whenever they put on an outfit from my brand VEESTAR FASHIONS, they feel so good and radiate just as the brightest star in the galaxy when they are in the midst of others.
Distance should not be a barrier.
I will love to make an exceptional outfit for my customers if I get the opportunity to.
Also if I can get to know about ongoing fashion events where I can showcase my work, I will really love to attend.
I want to attend fashion competitions within or outside my country as well if I am opportuned to.
Also, I want to write more books and contents that can inspire others to keep pushing and not give up on their skill or something worthwhile.
We can all stand victorious by God's grace.🙏
