    My journey to the hills of Ithaca in a nutshell!

    In this episode, I share how I overcame the struggles of US Graduate Admissions and reminisce on the period when I found out I got admitted into Cornell!
    It’s been exactly 1 year since I got mail that I was accepted into the Engineering Management program and I’m so happy to relive the moment while being a current student at Cornell campus!
    Cheers to the awesomeness that is Cornell and the greatness that are Cornellians all over the world!

  • My COVID-19 Experience ft. Rotachi Nlekwuwa, Creighton University
    Mar 19 2021

    Leave me a fan note ❤️

    Hey guys!
    New week, New episode!
    Yassss, I’m finally sharing my experience with COVID-19!
    I try to recount the moment I found out I tested positive to the day I eventually tested negative;
    sadly,I also share some of my current struggles with grad school and my current coping mechanisms.

    In this episode, I am joined by another COVID survivor - Rotachi, an MSc. Student at Creighton University- who shares her experience as an asymptomatic COVID patient.
    We hope you’re able to learn a thing or two from our experiences that inspire you to stay the path of physical and social distancing ,improving your health and immunity and staying “double” masked (if you can), till we reach the finish line of this global pandemic!

    Enjoy and see you in the next episode :)

    6ft. distanced hugs,
    Tolu

  • 25th Birthday Voice Blog/My Testimony
    Apr 9 2021

    Leave me a fan note ❤️

    Heyyyyyyyy fellow NISs!

    Welcome back to another special episode!

    In this episode, I voice blog [vlog] about my two birthday parties and why I was really pumped to celebrate my birthday this year!

    I was so grateful that I got to share the moments with you and all of my friends back at home because it was such a happy weekend!

    All the pictures and videos can be found on the Instagram page (and in the Story Highlights) for this podcast so please check them out if you’re really interested!

    So, I might not sound as excited as I do right now in this episode because I also share my testimony of getting an F-1 visa and how I made it to the US just in time to avoid deferring till Spring 2021 but I want you to know that I’m happy and just really grateful to God for how far He has brought me.

    Feel free to shed a few tears on my behalf too and shoot me an email to tell me how many tissues you used to dry them up so we can see who “cried pass” (naughty smile).

    As always, I hope you enjoy listening and hope that your FAITH is strengthened more than ever before to believe the impossible and trust in God for your miracle because HE WILL COME THROUGH! He does answer prayers and All Glory be ascribed unto Him forever and ever,Amen!

    Thank you all again for celebrating with me!

    All My Love,
    Tolu
