The Iconic Brand Africa Launch and Community Meetup was a Blast!!

On Saturday, I had the privilege of attending the iconic brand Africa launch and community meetup, and it was an unforgettable experience! The event featured an impressive lineup of panelists, including Oluwatoyin Aralepo, Chidi Okeke, Omababirin Osideko, Emmanuel Ovabor, Onyiye Sharon Peter, Frank Lenz, and Osinachi Akanegbu. Each of them shared their personal stories of challenges, setbacks, and ultimate success, leaving the audience in awe.

Key Takeaways

One of the most impactful moments came when Omababirin Osideko emphasized the importance of self-confidence and knowing one’s identity. She also stressed the value of delegation, sharing how she learned to involve others and delegate tasks to avoid burnout.

Osinachi Akanegbu echoed this sentiment, sharing how her lack of collaboration and unwillingness to ask for help had led to missed opportunities.

Emmanuel Ovabor, on the other hand, highlighted the benefits of collaboration, having built startups with friends. However, he also cautioned about the potential setbacks that can arise from such partnerships. The importance of having a legal friend to navigate terms and conditions was also underscored.

Balance and Passion

Chidi Okeke’s words of wisdom on living a balanced life resonated deeply. He reminded us that while passion and drive are essential, it’s equally important to avoid burnout and maintain a healthy balance in all aspects of life.
