“I firmly believe that the timing of my success was divinely orchestrated,” the 44-year-old said, adding that the purpose of the delay was to encourage other women who might not have succeeded at such a young age.

“I feel like God has done this on purpose. God delayed my success for a purpose. I used to be like, why wasn’t I successful in my twenties? I started succeeding in my thirties.

“It’s to bless other people. It’s to bless that 25-year-old girl who’s scared about what the future holds. If she opens my page and sees that I started in my thirties, she would be like, ‘I still have time.’’ Tiwa said.
