Description

This week we had a sit-down with Blessing Abeng, Brand and Comms expert who has worked with major brands across industries like Seedstars, Facebook, Taeillo, Diageo, Heritage Bank, Dark and Lovely, Bolt, Lemi Ghariokwu, QuickCheck and more. She is currently the co-founder of Ingressive for Good, where she supports the nonprofit’s mission to increase the earning power of one million African youths through tech training and resources. She spoke about her journey into branding and comms, her dream of becoming a doctor and the sale of a tech startup she cofounded to an African unicorn. 

She ended our conversation with three insights:

1. In navigating friendships, remember that sometimes it's not about you, it's about the other person. But it's up to you to leave when it doesn't suit you.
2. Value your days and just understand that there is so much you can do in a day. In one year time, that day might become relevant again, it can change your life forever.
3. You have limited time on Earth, ensure that you spend your time with the consciousness that this could be my last. This will inspire you to truly live.
