Happy Sunday SL Fabz!<\/p>\n

I hope your day has been interesting and blessed so far.<\/p>\n

On Friday 11th November, I was honoured to spend some time with school children at the 18th\u00a0Lagos Book and Arts Festival<\/strong> (LABAF) where I headlined the\u00a0\u201cMENTORSHIP\u201d programme. I had a really interesting time with the children and young adults where I spoke to\u00a0them\u00a0on the topic \u201cMy Encounter with the Book\u201d. This was a session where I talked about the impact of books and reading on my life as\u00a0well as how it has helped shaped my career.<\/p>\n

The real fun started when I began to interact with them during the Q&A session. Truly, these future leaders have very bright minds and are at such a crucial stage in their life where their character is being formed. I was amazed by how much they are exposed to already, but the beautiful thing about these young ones is that with proper guidance, they can grow up to be great men and women. It was really good to be in their midst.<\/p>\n

I must say a big thank you to the organisers of this event for putting together something so enriching and for honoring me with an invitation.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures from the event which took place at the Freedom Park in Lagos:<\/p>\n
