About Me – The Story Behind The Widow’s Might
Over a decade ago, my life changed forever when I lost my husband and became a widow. With three children to raise and no road map for what came next, I found myself navigating grief, motherhood, immigration, education, and career change — all at once.
I left my home country of Nigeria and came to Canada as an international student, balancing the demands of graduate school with the reality of being a single mom. I went from banking into IT, built a new career from scratch, and eventually became a Canadian citizen — all while raising a Black son to adulthood in a new culture.
Through many tears, trials, and triumphs, I discovered a strength I didn’t know I had. Not just the kind of strength that gets you through the day — but the kind that turns pain into purpose.
Today, The Widow’s Might – A Graceful Journey is my way of reaching back to others who are rebuilding after loss: widows and widowers, single parents, those who have lost careers, businesses, or direction. I’m here to walk with you — through grief, through growth, and toward grace.
Vision
To build a global sanctuary of hope and restoration where widows and individuals rebuilding after loss rediscover their strength, walk with grace, and thrive in purpose.
We may not have chosen the road, but we can choose how to walk it – With grace, faith, hope. This is the essence of a graceful journey.
