It was an absolute honor moderating a panel discussion over the weekend at Pregnant with Purpose 2025, organized by the on “Creative Pursuits and Emerging Industries”.

What an inspiring exchange of insights with incredible minds driving innovation, purpose, and impact across fashion, tech, and social change! The energy in the room was electric — young people ready to shape the future with creativity and intention.

A big thank you to Esther Akanmu and the Horizon Stars team for curating such a powerful platform and to my amazing panelists Vivian— who’s a Nigerian Fashion Model featured on both local and international runways, Beyoncé’s Brown Skin Girl and Vogue Italy, and Isaac Oyekunle— who’s a Tech Entrepreneur & Software Engineer, who also serves as lead software engineer at The Elevation Church for the depth and insights they brought to the conversation.

With the creative economy growing daily and the animation industry projected to be valued at 630 billion dollars by 2030; Nigeria However, still contribute a really low percentage of skilled talents in this space. The conversation around building sustainable animation training pipeline is central to what we do at empowering many young Nigerians with this skill and facilitating access to job/work opportunities for our participants

It was great connecting with amazing studios and seeing beautiful works done by amazing individuals 💥👏
