Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. And, do you come from an entrepreneurial background?

Yes I do have an entrepreneurial background, my mum was an entrepreneur and at an early age of my life, I started to support her in her business. She did a lot of different business and before my university days, I worked as a sales rep for her in the business, and even as a marketer at some point. Even while I was at the university, I did different business, I sold stuff to my class mates at different points, just to get extra cash, back then in delta state. I would bring affordable stuff from Lagos and take them down to delta to sell to my course mates in school. So yes I do have some entrepreneurial background, and I can say that the post university and paid employment experience influenced my lifestyle and decision to start my own business when I needed to be more available for my family. Running a business and becoming a full-blown entrepreneur wasn’t strange to me at the time I started, and that’s all because of my past experience.

What are your future plans and aspirations for your company?

My vision is to make on-demand spa services accessible within 30 minutes of booking across Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja.
