Ekanem Orok: The most unlikely friend I've ever had
Originally, I thought this girl was the antithesis of me mostly (ok, completely) by virtue of her being a fashion designer. But over the months, I don’t think I’ve respected anyone more. She started her sewing business in her room and, at age 25, now has her own shop and 3 trainees working under her. She works ridiculously hard, long hours 6 days a week, yet still has time to provide a lot of deep, unabashed insights into why things work the way they do here. I can’t wait to see what she does with her life.
