I have discovered that my creative role contributes more to my soft skills. My character is a product of everything I do, be it at work, home or in the community.
My day job as a tax professional at EY provides strategy which I use even when writing blog posts. My creative role strengthens my character and helps me enhance my skills.
Advice to my younger self: “Don't be too hard on yourself because you feel like a failure. Failing is part of growth and success and everything happens for a reason.”
Currently reading: I am not reading anything now. I've been taking various leadership courses through the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders learning programmes.
Currently studying: International Tax
