I need a caption for this picture I took at Circa guys. Suggestions, please? I was thinking "She bad" but I don't want y'all to think I'm vain, so 🤷🏾♂️ 😂.

Also, the @Scalemyhustle boss will be there to share her insights on 'Building a Business Beyond Borders' and there'll be more from Career Queen @chikauwazie, the fab @peac_hy, music by Johnny Drille, and even more! I'm tired of typing. Sha come sha. Date: 17th November, 2018. Venue: Landmark Event Center, VI Time: 12pm _______________________________________________________ See you there!

There aren't many people that will have me up and at 'em hecka early, and IN A GELE too. But of course I had to come correct for my #UnRulyGirl! My Ọ̀wọ̀ Princess with the #SoftBumBum @gbemioo. . Outfit & Fabric: #ByDivine (Mainlanders, she's on Allen Avenue and super affordable) Purse filched from my mama, shoes are @gbemisokeshoes of course! 😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpuk9sAAhM9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ni66zys42y7a
What's your adventure? You don't need to go #vegasextremeskydiving from 15,000 feet to feel great, but when I tell you that doing that sometimes feels like a walk in the park compared to getting up and pushing, bit by bit, day by day, to make a dream come true, or a business plan work out, please believe me! 😂 ______________________________________________________ Is it the cost to incorporate your business? - Tip: Don't just register a biz name, trust me. Yeah, stressful, but worth it. Is it the wahala it takes to open a biz bank account? Pages upon pages and a slice of your liver as requirements 🙄🤣. Iz ok, its just one time, then you're done. Till the next time 😝. How about the other factors that can seem super daunting, especially in Naij? Staff, location, Internet, PHCN, traffic. The admin stuff like your domain name, website, official email, and aiding money, pinching pennies to make sure each one stretches faaaarrrr...Trust me, I know. ________________________________________________________ Much like jumping out of a plane with an oyinbo man strapped to your back, it doesn't sound like the most sane decision or life path when you think about it😂, but if that's the dream you have for yourself, or the purpose you believe you were created for, you gats strap up, learn as much as you can, and then you go do it as excellently as you can. And arm yourself with the right tools. I'm thankful for my circle of support and resources like @scalemyhustle, @moneyafrica, @tosindurotoye, @eniolamafe, @everythingnaart @ahdora.lumina, @lollibeee and many many others who, via Instagram (well, and real life 😂) share info, resources, tips, encouragement, and so much more, to inspire, teach, and empower. __________________________________________________________ Who/what supports you on your life adventure(s), whatever it/they may be? Please tag and celebrate them, or share sites, tips, and tricks so we can all be inspired and support each other! P. S: Would you ever have a #Skydivingadventure? Oya let's go! 😉 #LamideTravels #LamideAkintobi https://www.instagram.com/p/BpAEMRugCSS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12fycufa8uari
Not the sexiest photo of me you'll ever see, but one for the career books! What's something on your career bucket list? One thing of mine was to do something with CNN. And...done! 😊🙌🏾✅ ________________________________________________________ I recently produced some features for @CNNAfrica. Two of them: #CNNMarketplaceAfrica and The Profit Point, will air tomorrow, Friday October 12th at 15:15 GMT. Criss-crossing Lagos, chasing down interviews + footage was NOT easy (I went to Apapa twice...nuff said àbí? 😩), working with @luckyyusuf and @peter.rudden on stories featuring #TheLaCaseraCompany, #Kobo360 & @maxdotng, among others ________________________________________________________ I learned a lot, and I'm excited to watch, and for you to see them. Please tune in if you can! Repeats on Saturday 15:15, Sunday 6:15 & Monday 16:45 (GMT) So, what's on your career bucket list? And how do we feel about my factory-chic look 😂? #LamideWorks #LamideonTV #PersonalGoal https://www.instagram.com/p/BozhjWTg7NN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f3wy7hrk368k
What DON'T/WON'T you talk about? And why? ________________________________________________________ Some of my favorite interviews have been with people whose lives and experiences/journeys I found interesting and wanted to share with others. But there have been questions I didn't want to ask, and topics that were hard to broach. About loss, about intensely private things, or questions *I personally* wouldn't want to answer, but had to ask because it's my job. Doesn't make it easier, though! If you've ever seen Iyanla Vanzant on "Fix my Life" - her own is 😳. I don't know how she does it, I could never! 😂 ________________________________________________________ So, in the spirit of Monday musings aka gbeborun Monday, what questions won't you answer and why? ________________________________________________________ Picture taken on set for #CMTrueStories 📸: @kooldolphinpictures 👗: @jeweljemila, styled by @motunrayo_john #StyleMOJ 💄: @tmtbylayinka #LamideonTV #LamideAkintobi https://www.instagram.com/p/Boq8_VXghZ8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l980g4moykvn
#ThursdayTip: Research + Work your network + Stay ready! Comment if you think I'm right! #TBT to last week, when I moderated a panel on #DigitalizationinNigeria for the launch of @OgilvyNigeria, with the MDs of #AirtelNigeria, #MultichoiceNigeria, #MainOneCable, and #FirstBankofNigeria (Former CEO) ------------------------------------------------ Moderating is about making sure you tap into your panelists' expertise for the benefit of your audience, in a relatable way. Knowing a little about a lot is great, but you MUST do your research so you can ask intelligent questions! Also, know who in your network may be an expert in what you're talking about. For me, it was my brothers-in law, who are both super smart, and shared research and tips so that I could ask better questions. And finally, there was an unexpected timing change, but because I was well-prepared, I didn't have to "get ready" 😂 This is something my @ENATribe folks will understand! 😉 ------------------------------------------------ These tips aren't just for moderators. I think they're for every kind of business or industry. Please comment if you agree; if not, drop tips on one or two things that are necessary for the industry YOU work in! ------------------------------------------------ #LamidesMediaTips #LamideWorks #EverythingnaArt #AlgorithmMedia #OgilvyNigeria #FunkeOpeke #JohnUgbe #SegunOgunsanya #BisiOnasanya #ENATribe https://www.instagram.com/p/BokJJuJgF6Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b4grjpmbfanr

Speaking in tongues - What do you think about it? Do you do it? Often? Is it weird that you don't understand what you're saying? The first time I heard tongues, I was CONVINCED the person was just being silly. Fast forward many years, and it's a great way for me to just feel in tune with God, and I love it. Today's Church Culture episode is all about this and its a great one! Tune in #Repost @ynaija (@get_repost) ・・・ @churchcultureinc ・・・ When and where words fail, then the spirit takes over.- @tosinmartins. . Join in for another Inspiring episode of church culture tomorrow at 1pm on @channelstelevision as @lamide_a leads the coversation on "Speaking in tongues." https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnvp9A8n09K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ks3zqizlrukw
Birthday Love! Rocking with me since the beginning, and getting flyer each year. Swipe to see the PEAK PENG GLOW! 😍 I'd choose you as a sister & best friend EVERY SINGLE TIME. There aren't enough words to tell you how much I love you, so I won't try. I'll just love you forever & be there as much as I can so you never doubt it. Happy birthday to my Sissy Bestie @theyoungempress! Please help me show her some love todayyyyyy. God bless and keep you, make his face to shine upon you, be gracious unto you, give you peace, joy, fulfilment in every way, and supply a good night's sleep soon because newborns don't care if its your birthday 😩😂. https://www.instagram.com/p/BngRzSwAxu_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qrx5rtz5vsl1
Revamping Time? Maybe. Did you know I have a website? I do, at www.LamideLive.com. It's a little neglected because I get discouraged when I feel like no one is really engaging or enjoying the content, but that, in itself is a lesson. To persevere/be consistent even when people aren't "getting it," and to consider pivoting if something isnt working. So, with this lovely picture, which is my newsletter header (I have a mailing list I'd like you to sign up for as well, BTW), I'd like to ask a favor: Check out www.lamidelive.com, look at a few posts, and let me know what you'd like to see, and what resources I should consider putting on there - there's a contact form on there or you can comment here. I like to keep it simple, but I also want it to be valuable and impactful. So let me know!

Mid-pose, figuring out the "right" angle and the best settings for the best look. I have some bomb pictures of this outfit (and I WILL use them 😂), but I find myself liking this one. Because motion, colour, happiness. Its imperfect and beautiful, just like me. Thank you for contributing to my birthday joy. It is a blessing that never ceases to amaze and humble me. Because even if I don't think one good thing about myself, the mirror you hold up to me to say that I make you smile or teach you something gives me all the feels! All glory to God because I used to be such a troublesome pain in the butt 😂 and he's making me better. Much love to all my birthday twinnies & God bless you all! ❤️ __________________________________________________ #August19baby #Birthdayblessings #imademybabybrotakethisinthestreet #hewasnotamused #BigSisPrivilege - Floral inspo from sweet bae @EverythingnaArt #EverythingnaArt #WhatLamideWore
