From $5 to Global Impact: My Journey to Freedom
I came to Canada with only $5 and a dream. I didn’t have a plan—but I had faith, grit, and a belief that the right relationships could change everything. Today, I help entrepreneurs create the freedom they deserve—through the power of connection
One Moment That Changed Everything
When I arrived at the Canadian airport, I didn’t meet the financial requirement to get through immigration. I was scared. Alone. And deeply uncertain.
Then, a woman at the counter looked at me—not just my papers—and made a decision that changed the course of my life. She let me through.
That moment taught me that opportunity often comes through people —and that one act of connection can rewrite your entire story.
Ever since that day, I’ve been on a mission to become that person for others.
Why I Do This
Why I
I believe true success isn’t just about money—it’s about freedom, impact, and connection.
When I arrived in Canada with only $5 in my pocket, I didn’t know anyone. But one conversation changed my life.
That moment taught me that opportunity isn’t found—it’s created through relationships.
What I Do Today
Most entrepreneurs are told that the only path to success is more hustle, more strategy, more funnels.
But what really creates growth—especially in today’s uncertain world—is connection.
Strategic relationships. Trusted partnerships. Visibility in the right rooms.
That’s where I come in.
I help entrepreneurs scale through intentional partnerships, authentic networking, and high-impact conversations—so they can build businesses that create time, income, and location freedom.
Large Call to Action Headline
Moving to Canada with just $5 in my pocket, I knew my life would never be the same again. Though I had no idea what the future held, deep down I believed that the path I was about to take would not only change my life but also the lives of many women I had left behind.
As I navigated life in a new country, I wondered how I would fulfill this dream of empowering women in Africa while working as an ICU Nurse. Though the dream seemed far-fetched, along the way, there were signs. Signs that I was meant for more, signs that the ICU was just another stop on the long journey God had envisioned for me.
Many years later, I look back with gratitude. Not only has God allowed me to touch the lives of women in Africa, but I have also graced many stages that once seemed far beyond reach, including Inbound, LaunchCon, Smart Passive Income, and Podfest, to name just a few.
This path, which God laid for me, continues to unravel with ease, grace, and favor. Who knew a girl from Zimbabwe, who never graduated from university, would find herself leading a company chosen to work with Stanford University?
If I can impact and inspire your audience to believe in the power of what I call a miracle in my life, so they can achieve greater results, I would be honored.
I believe that anyone, despite their background or history, can achieve their God-given purpose on this earth.

Behind the Scenes of My Podcast Journey
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of research for my upcoming podcast, and I have to admit, I have a bold goal for it—I want it to land in the new and noteworthy section when it comes out.
Now, I know that might sound a little egotistical, but I’ve learned that it’s important to declare what you want and be unapologetically bold about it. So, here I am, putting it out into the universe!
Since my podcast will be both video and audio, I’ve been binge-watching other podcasts as part of my research.
Let me tell you, I think I’ve been living under a rock because I’ve come across some seriously interesting (and eye-opening) content that I feel like my friends have known about forever.
Here are some podcasts I’ve recently come across that caught me completely off guard:
Obesity is a disease
What If Your Dog Could Run Your Business?
Procrastination is a disease
Well the first 2 were interesting for me, as I could use help from a 4 legged friend. The last one, lets just say, I still need a bit more convincing.
Maybe I’ve been too quick to judge! Anyway, it’s been
But after listening to these experts and diving deeper, I realized there’s a lot more to these “diseases” than I ever considered.
Maybe I’ve been too quick to judge! Anyway, it’s been a fascinating journey of self-discovery as I prepare for my own podcast.
The Background Dilemma: Outdoors vs. Indoor Studio Setup
One of the trickiest parts of podcasting has been figuring out the perfect background. I’m someone who loves being outdoors.
The greenery, the water, the fresh air—it all sparks my creativity. But as I quickly realized, the background noise from the outside is a major nuisance, especially if I want crisp, clear audio.
That’s when I started contemplating recording indoors.
The challenge with that is that I need either a studio or an office setup, and let me tell you, those can feel pretty constricting.
I want the vibe to be open and inspiring—not stuck in some confined space. Sure, you can always use those fancy Zoom backgrounds, but have you ever noticed how fake they look? Not exactly the vibe I’m going for!
Tomorrow, my podcast assistant is coming over, and we’re going to decide this together.
Fingers crossed, we find a solution that works for both of us because, honestly, figuring this out has been quite the headache. Or maybe it’s just that procrastination disease kicking in again. Who knows?
Progress and Excitement: Camera, Mic, and Scripts!
Despite the background dilemma, I’m making serious progress. I just received my Amazon shipment with the new camera and microphone—things are starting to feel real!
I spent all of last week scripting and preparing for the first 13 episodes of the podcast. It’s such an exciting feeling to have the foundation set for something that’s been on my mind for so long.
This is happening, and I can’t wait to bring you along for the ride!
Final Thoughts
The research, the equipment, the backgrounds, the scripts—it’s all coming together in such an exciting way.
Yes, there have been moments of frustration (hello, procrastination), but I’m feeling so ready to hit record and get started.
This podcast is going to be a place where I can connect with you, share valuable insights, and hopefully inspire you to take bold action in your own business and life.
Stay tuned! I’ll be back with more updates as I dive deeper into this journey and get closer to launching my first episode.
Thanks for following along!
