Palatable for the British I’ve recently been in conversation with people that have told me I love the brand and what it’s about. And I’ve told them the following line: Realising My Dreams stands for positivity and inspiration that is palatable for the British. But what does that even mean? Let’s break it down. The first part of the statement: Realising My Dreams stands for positivity and inspiration.  This is a fact. From the content we put out, to the way we communicate with followers and customers, our aim is that you (the individual) feels better about yourself after interacting

Have you ever watched the news and thought to yourself? Why did I need such detailed information? And were the pictures and videos necessary? Like, really? But then you realise that even journalism is fuelled on getting as much attention as possible so they can maximise their advertisement revenue. But why does it have to be negative?  Why are people infatuated with the negative?  I try to go on Twitter now and again to see what the people are saying. You know stay sharply in tune with how people are feeling, there’s a saying that Twitter is ran by the

This Quarantine thing is a real shock to the system, isn’t it? Not just on a global scale but also to the individual wherever he/she is living. I personally only started taking the whole thing seriously when they started closing my local gym and leisure centre which in turn meant no weekly football and no workouts. But the crazy thing for me now is that a lot of people have passed which is just insane, and reminds me that I need to change my regular way of living radically. I watched something earlier today that explained why negativity and news

Growing up and living with parents you always hear stories of this person and that person and how they were so impactful and how they did this or how it was back in the day.  I remember growing up my Nigerian parents would always tell me stories of how the politicians in Nigeria did this or that. Hearing the names Babangida, Abacha and many others constantly flying about. I still can’t exactly remember what each of these men did or what part in Nigerian history they played all I know is that they’re prominent figures in the nation’s past. Pedro’s

With the nature of the brand that we have, it can be very easy for us to get focussed on how we’re going to do this to inspire people or do that to spread good energy with people. Because ultimately we exist to try and motivate and be an adequate representation of a specific type of energy for you- the person reading this. However, the problem with this is that sometimes we lose perspective on how one actually makes a difference in the world. I try not to talk too much about my personal life in blogs but this is

I saw a clip of Peter Dinklage talking about  how he became an actor. He had always harboured ambitions of becoming an actor ever since he was young. When he left college he would get a few gigs here and there and he really enjoyed it, but he never really pursued it wholeheartedly. He then started working in the telecommunications industry but he hated it and knew it wasn’t his future career. So after years of working there he left and decided to fully pursue an acting career, telling himself the only way he is going to make money now

It was about a week ago that I saw the news that Nipsey Hussle had died.  I was always aware of him and his music however I really started to religiously follow his actions and his music in the last two years. What he represents and what he  was a proponent of is something that very few musicians, or people in the public eye, are. Independence and ownership of his art form.  Victory Lap is an amazing body of work for a debut album! And I was waiting to see how he would follow it up in his next project.

This SOTW slipped through! I’m so sorry Xavier I never got around to doing this. I guess that I thought that I had already done it but upon listening to the song I realised very quickly.. nope! Haha. I haven’t done a blog on this song. This is such a smooth joint. I always heard a couple of  Anderson’s songs at parties and in passing but I think the song has definitely won me over as a fan.. Will now be binging his discography! I never really understood the love at first sight phrase. Like what is that?! So you

Kenza chose a golden oldie here that is just a beautiful choice. I recently saw Damien Marley all over the internet promoting a new project. Doesn’t have much to do with the blog I’m about to right but I thought I should mention haha! The lyrics in this song are poignant when you think about. I remember back when I was doing my GCSE’s someone teachers would used to tell us in school: ” These are the most important exams of your life!” and ” You’re going to be deciding the rest of your life with your performance in these
