2024 really tried to take the wind out of my sail, so I am so grateful to be here celebrating my life and God’s faithfulness.

From being ill for months with hyperemesis (if you’re going through this, I see you. It’s not in your head. You are as ill as you feel & think you are, and yes, you need help),

to be admitted to hospital, to find out the love of my life needed another surgery to remove a cancerous tumor while being sick and pregnant, to end up with an emergency c-section because the devil tried it with my life AGAIN, to a harrowing healing process…it was a lot.

”I want to thank all the doctors who looked after me in Lagos, Nigeria, and the team in Washington, DC, that pretty much saved my life. I am here, and I am grateful.

”I also want to thank God for my incredible husband. Banky, I love you to life.

”I also want to thank everyone who gave me grace in 2024, especially those who didn’t know what I was going through. I know I missed a lot. I was missing a lot, but you extended grace and wrapped me in so much love.

”My village people are incredible.

”God has used this season to stretch me and show me that I am capable of much more than I ever realized.

”Now? NOW, I am coming for everything that’s mine. Nothing and nobody can stop me.

”Ps I woke up to the best gift ever. @jemimaosunde came to surprise me”.
