What was the last thing you did that required some courage?
Deciding to become a certified mental health therapist after over a decade as a banker with 3 degrees and starting up an NGO (Ending Child Sexual Abuse foundation) with my friend Ojotule. I had no idea how much impact I could make in the world until I went into counselling. It has been a very rewarding experience. Over 95% of people I had sessions with had a history of being abused as a child and the desire to end this menace ravaging the world today gave birth to the foundation.
