Who’s That Girl?

Insight Into Her Transformational Journey…

Today, Ayo is known as a confident #LeadingLady and figurehead for girls and young women across the globe, however, this hasn't always been the case...

 Growing up, Ayo struggled with low self-esteem and never knew who she was as an individual. Craving attention and validation from others (especially guys!!!) was something she was an expert at.

Transparently speaking, Ayo was someone who appeared rather 'tough' and 'confident' on the outside, but behind closed doors, she would often question the purpose of her life and attempted to take her own life.

Her true transformation came through faith in Jesus Christ and surrender to His Will. Ayo was able to get out of that dark place and got rooted in her Identity. She embarked on the intentional journey of personal development and later realised that she had to know herself in order to lead herself onwards and upwards into the light!
