Quotes

“This doesn’t fall on your lap. However, it can feel a little bit easier (and maybe a little more seamless) if you dare to keep your ears and eyes open.” – Nwabisa Mayema

“Is it difficult to then change my circumstances? Not really. Because I’m still living out my purpose, and the vehicle has just changed.” – Nwabisa Mayema

“I don’t want us to get caught up in the narrative where when we change from one thing to the next it has to then be binary, where the change either needs to be better or worse. Change is change. Can you delight in that moment that you’re in for who you are and what serves you?” – Nwabisa Mayema

“Asking for help isn’t a judgment on your abilities.” – Nwabisa Mayema

“You can tell when a business is being grown with joy.” – Nwabisa Mayema

“What is a unicorn? It’s actually a very fancy donkey.” – Nwabisa Mayema
