"This award isn't mine alone. It belongs to every hand that has held mine through life's valleys and mountains:"
"To my parents, who planted the seeds of ambition in a little girl's heart and watered them with unwavering belief, you are the foundation upon which everything I've achieved stands. Your sacrifices were never in vain."

"To every well-wisher who offered a kind word, a prayer, or a helping hand, sometimes you never know how a single moment of kindness can sustain someone's journey."
"To Enugu, my beloved home, your soil nurtured my roots and gave me strength to reach for global heights while keeping my heart connected to our beautiful heritage."
"This recognition from SHE Global Awards isn't just an honor but a divine reminder to every woman that when you remain authentic and steadfast in your calling, eventually, the right people see you, celebrate you, and join your mission. My journey is just beginning, and this recognition fuels an even greater vision for what lies ahead."
