THE UNSHAKEN PATH.
Adaeze, born into a family that believed a woman's success must end in marriage and motherhood , was expected to follow the same route her elder sisters did, but Adaeze saw beyond the fences of her small town, she dreamt of boardrooms, innovations and impacts and she was ready to fight for it.
At 22, whilst her mates were busy getting married, she was busy walking all nights at a tech company in the broad street of Lagos and planning on how to take over the tech industry, and she kept her eyes on the goal, she knew she wasn't just building a cary --- she was building herself.
Despite the fact that her Dad withdrew all financial benefits from her just cos she turned a suitor down, but Adaeze was adamant, even though the society thought she lacked, she knew she was not lacking ---- She was becoming.
By 28, she had risen to a senior developer position in her company, and had single handedly built a platform that helps rural women access loans through mobile phones.
Now she's mentoring young girls, telling them that marriage is beautiful, so is purpose too, so don't shrink to fit anyone's fear .
Her story is not about perfection, it's about intention, it's about choices.
What choices are you making today, and how intentional are you with those choices.
