Dear Younger Me: Lessons I've Learned Along The Way (Part 1)
Dear Younger Me: Lessons I’ve Learned Along the Way (Part One) is a powerful, honest conversation with three accomplished professionals who open up about the defining choices, detours, and moments that shaped their lives and careers.
In Part One Qazeem Oladejo shares what it means to focus on impact and chart your own path rather than follow someone else’s map. Dr. Shingi Masanzu reflects on resilience, navigating uncertainty, and the power of growth through discomfort. Dr. Adanna Chukwuma offers hard-won insights on redefining success, handling life’s unexpected turns, and striving for excellence with purpose.
Together, they explore how ambition meets reality, how setbacks become teachers, and how clarity emerges from the moments that test us most. If you’ve ever questioned your path or wondered what your future self might tell you this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss. Their stories will move you, their insights will challenge you, and their journeys will remind you that every step, even the uncertain ones, can lead to something extraordinary.
