About me: I just want to take the time out to thank OLUWADUMARE for giving me life, love and understanding. I thank all those who are important to me. You know whom you are, so there is no reason I have to mention that you are close to my heart. Especially my mother. The one who gave me love and life. I appreciate you for loving me unconditionally.
ALAFIA, Peace and blessings all, my name is Funmi Fola Obahnjoko. I am an honest and ageless young Nigerian Yoruba Sistah currently living in NYC. I came to the USA when I was very young. I attended Uhuru Sasa Shule and then Zidi Kuwa. I then went to private school until a scout from the prestigious Julliard School discovered her at a school talent competition and told my parents that I has the potential to be great and that they should bring me to Julliard for an audition to receive a full scholarship. I went to the audition and won appraises from the Julliard faculty and board of directors and was awarded a full scholarship. i attended Julliard and within a few years, I became a member of The Izulu Dance Theater and Junior Member of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. I traveled with my parents permission and set out to make something of herself. I went on to receive a full scholarship to attend the New York University's Tisch School of Performing Arts at age 16 where I graduated with an MBA in Theater Arts / International Dance Choreography at the age of 24. Upon my graduation, I also achieved greater respect from my family and community by getting my Beauticians License and becoming a Certified Bartender from the Wilfred Beauty Academy and the American Bartenders School. I am also an Iyalorisha. I shares this with you because I seek a friend who is understanding and not afraid of a successful young Nigerian Woman whom is not at all a male basher. A friend can be either homeless who wants to do right by themselves, not me, or a wall street executive who wants me to be happy. I now work in all of my fields when I can because being from another continent in itself a success for me. I speak 5 different languages: excluding English. I just do not want someone to be afraid of my accomplishments. I am just as mild-mannered as the calm that is before the storm. The only way the storm surfaces is if I am being lied upon, taken for granted or talked about. I just want the best for everyone and anyone. If there is anyone who seeks a friend like me...remember this, money is something you cannot look at. I could be a broke young lady just trying to make something of myself. It does not mean that I am a wealthy individual or a well-off I can remember days when I had no food, no nothing, even with all my credentials...no one gave me a second glance. Now I am a humble hardworking person who just want happiness for all. If I am not what u seek as a friend, I hope and pray that OLUWADUMARE blesses you and yours daily! I comes from a loving family and I just want an extended one outside of my immediate family. May OLUWARUMARE shine his light of love on all of you and I bids u good days and blessed lives. At your humblest blessings!
IYALORISHA Funmi Fola Obahnjoko
OLUWADUMARE Bless you all!
Passing by to show some love. I talk about success all the time, however, let’s not rule out failure. Failure teaches people many more things than success ever can. If you’re failing or struggling at the moment, don’t feel depressed. You should actually be happy because there’s something to learn from your experience. I’m who I am today because I fought through the failure and struggle. There may be more to come for me; however, I’m always prepared mentally to go through it all. Remember; keep your eyes on the prize, “Tunnel Vision”. There will be distractions, but hey – There’s no Challenge too great. God will never give you more than you can handle.
P.s. “If another person can do it, you can too!!!”
