The day finally came and on Sunday 21st October kalineofficial and I hosted Afternoon Tea with a wonderful clutch of mothers and their only daughters. The conversation, the company, the food, and the setting, made for a truly memorable occasion.

@isamiorungbe prayed over us regarding “Our Daughters Walking In Divine Purpose”

Ibiai Ani – “Building The Habit of Excellence.”.

Ngozi Princewill Utchay – “Raising Daughters In A Challenging World”.

Nimi Akinkugbe – “Money Lessons From My Mother”.

Musical Interlude – Kaliné Akinkugbe

Closing Remarks – Betty Irabor (Author – Dust To Dew)! .

– “Identify each child’s Personality Type and Allow each one to be the Best Version of themselves!” – H.E. Dolapo Osinbajo

– “If you are going to take time out of your life to do something, you had better make sure you do it well!” – Ibiai Ani

– “Invest in Yourself. Read widely. Learn Constantly. You are never too old to Learn!” – Nimi Akinkugbe

– “Teach your children 3 things to look out for in people they look up to – 1. What to ADMIRE. 2. What to HOLD. 3. What to LEAVE BEHIND. – Ngozi Princewill Utchay

I shared “12 Money Lessons from My Mother,” which she put into practice all her life. We are role models for our children, both boys and girls so we must give thought to what we present at all times.

Thanks to @houseoftara_intl @Wilsonslemonade, @image_doctor @thedaisycentre @laliba_a @bestmangamesltd for making the occasion so special.
