Gotten Into The Groove Of The Weekend Yet?
It’s been an exciting week for Nigerian women winning big, learning to smash Imposter Syndrome, and Changing Nigeria, One Child At A Time.
It’s Saturday!
We hope you’re getting into the groove of the weekend. Whether it’s glitter and glamour at a fabulous owambe with family and friends or cosy time at home with a warm cup of tea, a good book, and a plant or pet, we bet you’re looking forward to your day ahead.
Before you get into your day, we have some exciting stuff to share with you. In the past week, we’ve had 5 Fabulous Nigerian Women win awards for their stellar work in music at the Headies Awards, where we think Ayra Starr should’ve received her award on-stage, celebrated #NationalReadABookDay with thrilling book recommendations, and tons more!

Yes, you heard - or read - that right! Your Imposter Syndrome is NOT telling you the truth about your capabilities.
In ‘I unravelled my imposter syndrome; now it’s your turn’, #MCNGirlie Grace Hans-Bello takes a deep dive into the pesky poser we now call ‘Imposter Syndrome’, who positions themselves to drain the colour out of all your achievements so far. Grace unravelled hers, and would love to help you unravel yours.
