I had been a beauty and health columnist and contributor for several top magazines and blogs back in Nigeria. Writing has always been part of me, from crafting poems in my school days to journaling my thoughts over the years; it has become second nature. Yet, most of my work had been featured in publications I couldn’t truly call my own.
That changed when I met Latoya of Labworks Publishing. Our encounter sparked something deeper. I knew it was time. I was inspired to finally put my original thoughts into a body of work that bore my name, my essence, and my voice. Labworks didn’t just offer publishing support; they offered a platform that empowered me to own my narrative.
It was a bit challenging, considering that I was nursing a baby while tending to my older kids, running multiple businesses, and holding a full-time job. But I did it, regardless!
The process was intentional, affirming, and purpose-driven. From brainstorming to final print, I was supported every step of the way. Today, I am proud to say I’m Labworks’ first published author and even prouder of the legacy this partnership has created through Your Beauty Police, which earned me the title of a five-time bestselling author. My second book, Beyond Brushes: 10 Life Lessons from a Global Beauty Expert, marked another milestone. It’s been an amazing ride, and I’m proud to now be a two-time published author with Labworks. With Labworks, you’re in the best hands for your author journey, trust me.
