Insanely different

I am purpose drviven, talented and beautiful.
Look at me, an orginal in a world full of copies.
I am blessed by God, I am a modern day virtuous woman.
I am like no other.

In they face of failure I smile,
I stand tall, even though sometimes I fall.
I will rise and shine brighter and brighter.
I am  INSANELY DIFFERENT!

Hear me roar,
Hear me shout out loud.
I am an aspiring role model to other young women.
I am an insanely different kind of woman.

By Kofoworola George-Taylor

For so long I have wondered who I was, who I want to be and what I have a passion for. Business to me meant 'make money and survive' now It has to do with  'doing what you love'.

I realise now that being 'different' is not necessarily bad, I used to try so  hard to fit in and be a copy because I was so  different from the  average unilag girl.  Insanely different is dedicated to personal branding and career development in young women or better known as the future of Nigeria .

The talk in personal branding and media was given by Kate Harmony, It was a talk that would forever change the way I think.

The program began with the team giving God the glory, We were taught make-up application and uses of each make-up brush by  the CEO of exclusive Make-up, the lecture was very explainatory and easy to understand. She even gave us some make-up secrets.

Next was catering taught to us by the CEO of  Keke's Kitchen,  she gave us recipes on small chops and some exotic drinks. We moved into photography, the facilitator gave some students tries with his camera, he taught us terms in photography and taught us about cameras.

Media was the last lecture and was presented by Kate Harmony, I found her inspiring and amazing. She captured my attention immediately and rose my faith, that no matter where you are now you can still make it in life, she told us the tragic story of her father's death and her struggles to try and support her family. To me she is the perfect role model. She broke me down and made analyse myself.

She taught us how to present ourselves and the importance of body language . For example did you know moving your eyes as you speak makes you look confused.

I loved the fact that I was a part of the event because now I am proud to say that I am insanely different.
