Being a career woman is great and I was lucky to have some success at it. - Dakore Akande

I pledged my cornea to Eye bank of Nigeria, and what that means is when I leave this earth I willingly donate my cornea to help give the gift of sight especially as I would no longer be needing it

I feel a great sense of purpose that God put me here for a reason and I’m glad that His light keeps shining through me. I’m in a profession that one cannot retire from. Acting is what I was put on earth to do— that’s my first port of call and purpose. Of course, it’s great to be a wife and mother but they are additions to our lives.

I am still far away from my aspirations. But I am in a good place because sometimes we are so cut off or concerned about where we want to get to and we don’t enjoy the journey. I am grateful for the journey and I am still expectant. I am still looking up to the Author and Finisher of our faith to make sure that all those aspirations are achieved.
