From Nigeria to New York: Believing Against the Odds

Born into a high-profile political family in Nigeria, Bijou’s life took a turn when she moved to the United States alone at the age of 15. She excelled in her education, obtaining her masters in Public Affairs from Colombia University, working with the Nigerian Commission to the UN and graduating Harvard Business School.

Despite her impressive accolades and having a clear career path laid out before her, Bijou boldly chose to pursue her dream to work in fashion in NYC. Today, Bijou is the Chief of Staff and Strategic Advisor to the CEO of a luxury brand and has achieved remarkable success through grit, resilience, and unwavering faith.

This isn't just a story about career changes; it's about the courage to rewrite your own narrative, the power of trusting God to guide your steps, and the unwavering spirit it takes to overcome the odds. Join us as Bijou reveals the pivotal decisions she made, the uncertainties she faced, and the bold faith that propelled her to build a life she truly loves.
