The thing is, I never thought I would be building a team to help empower women, change lives, and completely change my life in the process.
I had just been given an ultimatum from my job that I either go back to full time, in-office or else they would have to let me go.
In the midst of this I was dipping my toe in the water of creating a fitness company.
During the beginning stages of this process, it was clear that I wanted to name the company after my last name. My dad is from Nigeria, and that's part of my identity.
I decided that I wanted to draw from Adrinka symbols (western African symbols) to build out the logo that would fit my desire to empower women.
So it came to be that we created the Okon Fitness logo, displaying strength, humility, and power.
Since creating Okon Fitness, we have been able to transform thousands of women's lives, and have been on a mission to empower women and help them change from the inside out.
To show that women have the power to be whoever they want to be, to grow as individuals, and to be powerful physically, mentally, emotionally, and in every other way.
We've seen countless clients choose to trust us with their health, and the following photos are just a few of the results..
I've been able to build a platform to speak into many lives, with the chance to truly help others grow as individuals.
I've also been able to develop a team that I am grateful for, and have started to be able to make an even bigger impact on the world around me.
The mission of Okon Fitness is to transform 100,000 lives in the next few years, all the while begin our mission to give back to West Africa through nutrition and health.
